    I’d look to the US for what human rights look like long before I look to a country where women are second class citizens and homosexuality is illegal, and that’s saying something.

      Anybody who’d look to a country that was built on the genocide of the native population, inspired the nazis, has been at war 225 out of 243 years of its existence, massacred over 6 million people with its war on terror while displacing another 37 million, and is now openly backing a genocide by Israel, really needs to check their moral compass.

        Oh yeah dude don’t get me wrong, fuck the apartheid state of israel.

        It still doesn’t make Saudi Arabia preferable to the USA in terms of human rights lol

          Saudi Arabia doesn’t have the power to dick around with human rights halfway across the globe.

          US is objectively responsible for far worse crimes against humanity across the globe. SA might be worse domestically, but in a global context there’s no contest here.

      You need to consider that modern-day Saudi Arabia is literally a US foreign policy “success story” before you say that.
