Alex gets the hyperbole, great job.
80 iq gang rise up
*stands*
@Alex Kolchak - NY but yeah Lebanon actually has a confessional government
that is certain offices are reserved for certain religions
like the President is always a Maronite

Unironically interesting read
and the Speaker of parliament (I think) is always a Shiia
the president of Lebanon is Christian?
yes
always
that's literally the constitution
mind unironically blown
funny how you never hear about that
oy vey
Those theocracies are working out wonderfully for their subjects too...
but you always hear about ebil Hezbollah from the Daily Wire
which ones?
Literally anywhere in the Middle East is ruled by Islam in some fashion or another.
Lately the anti American internationalist media has been engaging in a slander & libel campaign against Steve King in an attempt to have him neuter himself & turn the left over rinos against him - if you have 5 minutes please give Mr Kings office a call & express your support for him & his work. Every call counts!

oh ok
I mean, some are better than others
Whether literaly theocracies (Iran) or cultural dominance. And they are all shit except Dubai (ironically filled with Westerners)
I would say "some are less bad than others"
Dubai is crazy. I was there for vacation once
it goes beach - skyscraper jungle - desert with very little transition
Iran is actually not as bad as people think
Dubai is a weird city. Ive been to Saudi & UAE a couple of times. Not places I want to go back to. If you ever visit the mid east for whatever reason don't leave the city limits without security detail.
idk, we walked around a few places in the UAE with no problem
@Koba I've watched documentaries and shows about Dubai. That's as close as I want to get.
I would love to go to Iran if I could safely
It's a shame though, I would LOVE to see the pyramids firsthand.
(I know that's not UAE), I"m just lumping Middle East as a whole.
everyone wanted to take pictures with my [family member] because [they] have blond hair and blue eyes lol
Yeah UAE isnt nearly as 'bad' as saudi. Its much more neoliberal in its governance/social practices. Business with the saudis is awful - very arrogant people who will do their best to push you around unless you have the right names with you.
@Koba boy you haven't been in Qutar
*Quatar
lol I dont intend on going unless I have to
Qatar I believe.
but doesn't matter much
ok so either everyone here was a Russian tourist like me or they were in the military lol
