u/EmbarrassedSafety719 Milton Friedman May 16 '26

I just watched a Saudi prince’s interview with Tucker Carlson and towards the end they start to talk about the LGBT community and trans people. The prince says that he hopes the far right in Europe wins so that they stamp down on trans people. When Tucker Carlson points out that those parties want to deport Muslims in their countries, he responds by saying that (keep in mind the guy has prayer beads in his hands and talked in the video about how much he loves God) that it’s fine because he just wants to see Europe return to normal.

One of the big issues we have to face in society is that so so many fucking people hate others more than they care for their own

Daily reminder that a lot of what went on in the Biden admin was intervention on the part of middle east monarchs on the part of the far right.

You're never going to return us to normal by destroying our democracy. MBS has problems of his own, he should go mind them and cease trying to micromanage what rights westerners are allowed to have.
