And how many of these comedians hold their tongue regarding religion and people of power when performing in their home country? Or when touring internationally on non-state-funded tours?

Don’t take my opinion of these comedians as anti-Saudi. I was plenty anti-Saudi before this. If these ‘comedians’ agreed to take money from the US president to not make mean jokes about him, I’d be just as disgusted at their lack of spine.

Not the same scenario. The equivalent would be these comedians doing a set that was paid for by the White House, with a list of restrictions on what could be said. Which would receive just as much backlash

I don’t think this is an image that you could view openly in a regular workplace, even if there is no dick and balls in the image. It’s a raunchy screenshot from a porno.

So because we can’t immediately fix our world, we should abandon all hopes and dreams of a better future?

If people want to envision a future for mankind that is a bit farfetched, what’s the harm? Let it inspire people to make the world a better place. Better than being a cynical prick who scoffs at any sort of positive ideology.

War against who? Do we have the perpetrator? Do we know their political affiliation? The Trump shooter was a registered Republican. Are they waging war against their own party?

Obviously they don’t need evidence to be horrifically violent shit stains, they’ve managed that well enough so far.

This is somehow worse than I imagined. This looks like the sort of coded calling card a serial killer who dismembers women would leave at the scene of his crimes.
