"Why does everybody have such a low opinion of this oppressive theocracy?" Gee, it's such a mystery.

Remember when the current leader of Saudi Arabia lured a Washington Post journalist into a Saudi consulate, had him tortured to death, and cut into pieces to dispose of the evidence? What a bunch of merry pranksters. We really should lighten up.

Meanwhile... we have a former terrorist who posed after cutting multiple persons heads off speaking at the UN....

Is that related somehow or are you just trying to diminish the awfulness of Saudi Arabia's government by bringing up the awfulness of some other guy?

Just bringing up the absurdity of it. I wasn't trying to say Saudi isn't as bad, I meant to say they're all terrible

Awful people run the world.

>Maybe the narrative changes when their approaches towards human rights does?

Clo$e. The narrative change$ whenever the $audi$ decide that they want it to. U$ually, thi$ involve$ $omething, but I can't figure quite what that "it" could be.
