Best Friends posted:Everyone has very different ideas about what human rights abuses we're supposed to ignore and which ones we're supposed to be outraged by. Saudi Arabia is really bad and I wish we were actually openly hostile to them, and I mean that, but I think most of the posters talking about evil America enabling them here probably don't have much of a problem with the us normalizing relations with Iran, which has its God police sentence teenagers to be publicly strangled to death routinely. The naked subjectivity of Internet leftist outrage makes it lose all effect. It's the blatant hypocrisy of drumming up fears of bearded muslim fundamentalists killing freedom and innocents to justify subsidizing the homeland security, GWOT and surveillance industries, while giving military and political protection to exactly that demographic that gets me. See also, Fighting Terror while simultaneously backing terrorist states like Pakistan to the hilt. It's obvious the whole thing's bullshit.
