I’m a big UFC fan so Saudi Arabia being involved in my media is nothing new. That said, it seems fairly hypocritical for alot of the outspoken comics to participate. Opinions?

    Can you expand on land back, in the context of the contiguous united states? I placed the quotations becausethese countries used to be settler colonies, yes. They are now, however, racially/ethnically/socioeconomically diverse sovereign nations with democratic republic systems of government, not colonies. Every single country in the history of earth has a track record with human rights abuses and horrific social practices. I’d argue that CURRENTLY Saudia Arabia is a particularly clear example of practiced modern day slavery, radical abuses of women/lgbtq+ people, state sponsored murder of journalists, state sponsored murder based on speech and operates under a completely antiquated form of government in the form of a monarchy. Said monarchy is the body that paid for this show to happen. Track records are one thing, CURRENT conditions are another entirely.
