that survey is major yikes. like i wouldnt know how brainwormed an average saudi civilian is but come the fuck on

[-] davel@hexbear.net 45 points 5 months ago

My understanding is that most Saudi citizens have it quite good, being bribed by superprofits and using non-citizen residents as practically slave labor.

even so you'd think they'd be a little realistic about the political situation. monarchy that converges with your interests is still a monarchy, isn't it?

It doesn’t sound like that’s the question that was posed, whether it is a democracy, though I’m only going by the graphic, and I don’t think Saudis consider their indentured foreign laborers to be people, racist fucks that they are, and I’m sure they weren’t included in the survey.

Stating the obvious but like both the Saudi and Israeli citizens are supported by a mass of workers who aren't citizens, mostly interact with other citizens in similar circumstances and barely consider the none citizens that clean the streets, drive the taxis, take out the bins, etc human so like of course they feel their government represents them and serves their interests.
