are you 100% it's tiny?

2019-09-11 01:43:46 UTC  

primarily their money comes from extortion and theft, and their weapons predomiantely come from the black market

2019-09-11 01:43:56 UTC  

In the source it shows a tiny portion

2019-09-11 01:44:16 UTC  

iran literally has tried to assassinate several western leaders

2019-09-11 01:44:19 UTC  

```“Arab Gulf donors as a whole – of which Saudis are believed to be the most charitable – have funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Syria in recent years, including to ISIS and other groups,” it said. “Riyadh could do much more to limit private funding.”```

2019-09-11 01:44:29 UTC  

It's likely tens of millions that random Saudis are giving them

2019-09-11 01:44:33 UTC  

that's not really TINY

2019-09-11 01:44:33 UTC  

Hundreds of millions of dolalrs is almost nothing

2019-09-11 01:44:40 UTC  

in comparison to the billions they have

2019-09-11 01:44:47 UTC  

It's almost nothing in comparison

2019-09-11 01:44:53 UTC  

And furthermore you can't control all of your private citizens

2019-09-11 01:45:07 UTC  

you can when you're a fucking ABSOLUTE MONARCHY

2019-09-11 01:45:18 UTC  

It's a ridiculously annoying headline; it's misleading becuase they say Suadis, when they could say ANY country is potentially having citizens do this

2019-09-11 01:45:35 UTC  

Dicatorships rarely have total power over their whole country, and Suadi ARabia is not a total dicatorship

2019-09-11 01:46:07 UTC  

they're a fucking hereditary monarchy and theocracy, jesus christ, can you be any more transparantly weaselly

2019-09-11 01:46:21 UTC  

It's more like an oligarchy

2019-09-11 01:46:26 UTC  

Rather than a dictatorship

2019-09-11 01:46:44 UTC  

There's a lot of smaller tribal groups with power

2019-09-11 01:46:49 UTC  

that actively executes anyone who dissents against the will of the government/religion

2019-09-11 01:46:51 UTC  

it's certainly not very democratic

2019-09-11 01:47:05 UTC  

>you can't control all of your private citizens
Well for some reason it took them awhile to put a ban on funds going to Syria

2019-09-11 01:47:06 UTC  

idfk why

2019-09-11 01:47:09 UTC  

WEll actually no, there's not that many executions, let alone for arbitriary reasons

2019-09-11 01:47:17 UTC  

It always takes a whilei

2019-09-11 01:47:23 UTC  

it's banned in the UK and yet it's still happening

2019-09-11 01:47:25 UTC  

they literally had 37 in a single day

2019-09-11 01:47:46 UTC  

and are in the process, if they haven't finished by now, executing the womens rights activists that won the right to drive

2019-09-11 01:48:00 UTC  

Which is not that many in the grand scheme of things, like over a million people die ayear in China just in reeducation work camps

2019-09-11 01:48:33 UTC  

There's something like 150 per year

2019-09-11 01:48:36 UTC  

That's maybe .4 a day

2019-09-11 01:48:40 UTC  

That's honestly not that many

2019-09-11 01:48:42 UTC  

How many gay people die in China though?

2019-09-11 01:48:47 UTC  

A lot?

2019-09-11 01:48:50 UTC  

percentage wise

2019-09-11 01:48:58 UTC  

is it larger than Saudi Arabia?

2019-09-11 01:48:58 UTC  

China puts all kinds of people in their gulags

2019-09-11 01:49:05 UTC  

Suadi arabia executes about 150 people a year

2019-09-11 01:49:12 UTC  

I don't know how many are gay
