What to MBS, Saudi oil, AI, and Trump all have in common? Turns out, a lot, and none of it involves giving a single hoot about the rest of us. And even if we’re not SURPRISED we still must remain VIGILANT against the 1%!!!

    Why does every one leave out Saudi Arabia & every other Gulf nation has US military base on it? US, Europe, and Israel makes billions selling them weapons. US, Israel, Europe use Gulf nations as military bases to kill millions in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Palestine, Afghanistan, etc And steal natural resources.

    As a Saudi person, I am fully satisfied with what is happening in my country and the laws, teeth for teeth, and an eye for an eye, we apply the Sharia of Islam, and you have nothing to do with that, you should go and hold your country accountable for the number of prisons, the injustice of people and their imprisonment for no reason, and forcing people to accept something disgusting that even animals do not do

    I'm still defintely not Anti-semitic for obvious reasons, but… I still feel like admitting the I used to think that reasons to believe Jewish deep state colusion were noticable more arbitrary than they actually were, in many ways. 😅

    Also, the irony of Trump calling someone "piggy"? 😂

At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” – Frank Zappa

    23:02 My local Starbucks plays music so loud and they themselves are loud. Someone complained about it on the university YikYak and a worker replied how the music was for THEM, the workers, not for the customers. That if it was such a big deal, put some AirPods in.

    Yeah I don’t like going back and rarely do. Certainly don’t sit inside anymore.

    Yes I feel radicalized in a good way too. It's like I am woke af. I also feel like this feeling that I'm feeling is Catching Fire among others in the zeitgeist. ✊🏽🔥

    You can hate all you want on my country mishaps if theres any , but don’t act like Israel uk and the usa didn’t do 1000% worse impact on the world, and for lgbtq its strictly prohibited in our religion and it will continue to be as long as we live we don’t want perverts and pedophiles roaming our streets, and i took the liberty to look around your channel to only see israel are not on you naughty list so and that shows clearly your double standards piggy 🐷.

    Genuinely enjoying you radicalization journey, as the system have unveiled to you what they really are. I finally got full-time hours. So I think I will finally bite the bullet and get that Reagan ruined everything crop tee I’ve been eyeing for a while. ☺️

    Honestly the purity litmus test from Americans like this AWFL is everything wrong with the west under democrats, and the non stop patronising towards the rest of the world as if the US is the beacon of human rights is why progressive democracies no matter the progress towards problems solved you’re just gonna start to create new problems to complain about that no needs solving in the name of human rights and how you ended up genital mutilation for minors, thinking elective abortion is healthcare, men still in tact in women sports, and female justices that can’t define what is a women. You think we want that shit in Saudi?😂

    As a Saudi, there’s no human right abuseS, there’s a difference in cultural red lines and people go over our red lines then go cry about us punishing them in the west and the US
    Don’t try to enforce your shitty values to our culture
    The only way dumb Americans’d understand this woof for our oil money😂

    So practically MBS was like "Well we can't be seen doing business directly with Israel, and so I will get their lap-dog US – totally subservient to Israel -, to lay down the carpet for us. "

    "I believed through the 2 party system the working class will find salvation, but that has never been the case"

    FDR home girl. We've been here before. There IS a limit to how much capitalism can screw normal people over before neoliberal propaganda stops working, and electoral politics kicks in to save us. It just takes a lot of suffering for people to wake up and vote unanimously for pro-worker leftist politicians. Like, say, AI taking all our jobs 🫩

    One thing I've noticed is how Fascist Oligarch & Xenophobe (FOX) "News" occasionally tries to soft sell slavery with revisionists history and propaganda. For anyone with at least a spec of awareness and a functioning brain, it's a reminder that the oligarchs would reinstitute slavery if they'd thought they'd get away with it. Who needs payroll and HR when they can simply whip their peons into "compliance"…

    I’ve seen several versions of Funshine and Grumpy’s cub in fanart and they’re a fan created original character that I love. Do you have a name for them yet? One version I saw was named Rainshine Bear. They fully embrace their Queer parents, loves them unconditionally, and is proud of them. I like that this version is wearing a Gay Pride flag as a cape. ❤🏳️‍🌈🥰

    Other than getting aire time, 50501 and Indivisible and the other No Kings groups need to organize tax 'revolution' events to stop the bleed of our last remaining funds keeping us out of unpaid volunteer/internship jobs(slavery) anyways… the collective rights and benefits we used to have will be unrecognizable next year, and we'll all have to learn to function without protections or social services if the evil leaders don't see consequences soon.

    I find it interesting that you try to blackpill people on here about "end stage capitalism" and the sociopathy of people who want to accumulate more and more wealth and how profit from employees is labour theft and exploitation etc and yet you with a minimum of $6000 a month coming in through patreon still feel it important to shill DEBT CONSOLIDATION services even shoving it in your video description 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
