Saud Arabia's first priority is just for Saudi citizens only. No laborer is a slave or forced at gunpoint to come work in our country. They pay themselves thousands of dollars in their foreign countries to come work in Saudi Arabia. Nobody forces them. Their work visa is either only for 3 months or 6 months or 12 months. Then, they need to leave once the visa has expired. No one is forced to work in the country as a slave. You can choose to stay living in your own country. Lol political dissidents are turd implants from the Western countries designed to instigate anarchy in the country. It's never going to work anymore because the Gulf citizens themselves know how pathetic the Americans and the west are nowadays. Stop & STF trying to teach about human rights. The US and Europeans are responsible for the genocide of 100,000 in Palestine right now along with the millions in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Vietnam, and so many more. No one needs to whitewash anything. We are spending trillions for our country and the future of our citizens. All the big multi billion projects provide millions of jobs for Saudi citizens and foreigners. And they will continue to provide jobs and revenue for the country for generations to come. The US and the West isn't the bastion of amazing human rights after its support and financing of the current genocide in Palestine.

Saudi citizens are doing just fine and are being greatly supported and have a bright future with the Vision 2030 work happening so far. You worry about your shitty healthcare, gun violence, homelessness, high income taxes, crappy infrastructure, illegal drunks & junkies roaming the streets and other stuff. No one gives a crap about your lame accusations of human rights. You've historically been the biggest mass murders and genocides from killing off the natives in North America and Aborigines in Australia and the recent wars in the middle east. No one gives a crap about some fat old attention whore journalist here anymore. 70% of the Saudi citizen population is under 35 years old and we support the government to keeps the country and us safe from all outside terrorists and other threats.

Absolutely true. And also responsible for the crusades, for the colonization of Africa, Australia and America, and the untold suffering of millions of non Europeans. Europeans also started both the world wars. Nobody is denying that. We know more about human rights violations than anyone else. Thats why we are calling out Saudi Arabia's, the same way I call Israel's genocide upon the Palestinian people.

> No one gives a crap about some fat old attention whore journalist here anymore.

Any normal human with a bit of empathy would decry a dictator killing a journalist and dismembering him like a coward. Also, wherever there a re human rights violations like in Israel, USA and Saudi Arabia, it's our moral duty to investigate further and dethrone the evildoers.

> Lol political dissidents are turd implants from the Western countries designed to instigate anarchy in the country

Ah, the old "everyone who disagrees with the government" is a foreign agent, let's detain them and maybe chop them to pieces. Putin did the same minus the chopping part. Trump is doing the same and trying to bring back Guantanamo. MBS just added the slice and dice for an extra flair.

> Saudi citizen population is under 35 years old and we support the government to keeps the country and us safe from all outside terrorists and other threats.

And whoever doesn't support the government, gets chopped to pieces?

I keep finding this baffling. An arab muslim criticizing OTHERS for practicing slavery? And a Saudi at that. WTF. I mean how hypocritical can you get?

> You've historically been the biggest mass murders and genocides from killing off the natives in North America and Aborigines in Australia and the recent wars in the middle east

Really? Who colonized the middle east, Asia and Africa? Look it up, the Roman Empire did, somewhat, and the actual colonizing (meaning conquering, taking free people and turning them into slaves, usually by mass-murder) was done by the successive Caliphates. Have you somehow missed the many paintings made by the slave trade, missed WHAT the slave owners are wearing? The west took over after the last caliph fled islam (the state, not that anyone at the time made any distinction between state and religion at all. And if we're being very honest, not many muslims were sorry to see it end)

The West then proceeded to end slavery and what's left are a bunch of separate states, with some very badly chosen borders, after stealing resources for a couple of decades.

Which state today would have more to do with these Caliphates that did the colonizing and extracting for >1000 years? The western states, the US? Or can you come up with a more responsible party? Perhaps a specific country, claiming to have been the center of islam for said millenium (they're lying, of course. Any time that it actually mattered the center was Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus or Istanbul, never even close to Saudi Arabia. We happen to be in the only incredibly exceptional moment in history Saudi Arabia is not a desert hellhole. That includes the future)

> crappy infrastructure, illegal drunks & junkies roaming the streets and other stuff ...

I once roamed around, by accident in Ryadh, by getting lost. Don't tell me you have any trouble finding the poorer neighborhoods, drunks and junkies (yes not on the streets, same reason you don't find drunks on the streets in Sydney during summer either) ... and, let's be honest, slaves. It is very much NOT the case that everyone has airco in Saudi Arabia.

And I keep hearing about stuff I haven't seen, like the "divorce prisons" of Saudi Arabia. Also, Saudi Arabia has debtor's prisons. Very progressive you people are.

> after its support and financing of the current genocide in Palestine

"The west" isn't supporting that, with some exceptions (Saudi Arabia IS, by the way). Second, Saudi Arabia has genocided more Jews in Saudi Arabia than the ENTIRE Israel-Palestine conflict made in it's >100 years of on-off fighting on both sides. By the way, a genocide, far bigger than the Israel-Palestine conflict is what brought in the current rulers and created Saudi Arabia not 100 years ago, do you even know that?

I mean, I know the answer to that. You learn that quickly when you're there. No, Saudis do not know the history of Saudi Arabia, not even a little bit. Saudi men (you don't see the women) know more about the history of perfume brands than their own history.

> Saudi citizens are doing just fine and are being greatly supported and have a bright future with the Vision 2030 work ... No one gives a crap about some fat old attention whore journalist ...

You mean when the current Saudi government had it's embassy staff kill and chop into pieces an American-Saudi dual citizen? Yes, that government is taking real good care of human rights. I really trust them to treat other Saudi citizens well into the future ...

And Vision 2030, which boils down to "tourism will replace oil revenues", is about as realistic as an umbrella manufacturer's plan to branch out into delivering hot soup during hurricanes. Wait, why am I even making a comparison. Let me repeat the vision: "tourism will replace oil revenues". That's also a joke, just so bad it's not even funny. So at least there's that: in 20 or so years when oil demand has dried up, Saudi Arabia will once again be the desert hellhole it was for most of it's existence. Maybe more like 10 years, or even less, because frankly I doubt oil demand will survive the next recession in the west, whenever that is.
