I’m not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump’s language, so long as it’s aimed at countries y’all dislike, and so long as it fits y’all’s agenda
It’s a monarchy and the people generally seem to be okay with it on a certain level. I have been told by associates that is mostly because Islam inherently backs a caliphate and thus monarchy is not seen as undesirable.
Completely false. It’s a dictatorship that jails anyone who publicly disagrees with the government. MBS even locked up his own mother for criticizing his jailing of relatives. The people are NOT okay with it, thats like saying it seems like Saddam Hussein is popular because nobody wants to risk their lives speaking out.
And no, there is nothing at all in Islam that supports a king. A caliph is elected.
If it’s literally a capital offense to call for a different government, do you think people will freely admit to a pollster that they dislike the monarchy? Stop assuming that the dictator is actually popular.
I have never been to KSA so I’ll refuse to take a position on the nation but Trump is hardly the originator of that phrase. He’s just the classless idiot who used it on mic. If you are actually fluent in English it would be really weird to think this is “Trump’s language”

Russians are not a race. They are a nationality. There are many ethnic and racial groups in Russia. The anti-Russian sentiments are almost never anti-slavic/Turkic et al but are rather directed at the nation itself and the polity vs the sinophobia and antisemitism which tend to be at least partly aimed at the peoples.
I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language

Trump didn’t invent this expression. Also any country that still cut heads is a shithole. Have a nice day.
No it’s a dictatorship. The people suffering under that US-armed and US-backed dictatorship don’t need the insults.

Please provide a valid source that backs your claim. Please find any evidence for widespread support for a non-monarchal state.
You’re asking me to prove a negative.

Racism and bigotry towards: Arabs, Chinese and Russians is still acceptable. They get to decide who is okay and not-okay.
