- emerged 5y agoIt’s also a way to smuggle claims of racism into the conversation, since in 2022 you can’t have a conversation without racism or people will fall on the floor shaking in withdrawal.

Sure, your citizens might have to freeze or starve but this is absolutely necessary to support the current thing. Oh, and please keep buying Saudi and Emirati oil and please keep selling them weapons to bomb Yemen. Anything else would be whataboutism.
