Normally I'm a proponent of the "Man's Gotta Eat" theory, but these people have enough money to turn down this shit and be fine so they can sit and swivel
the only way they can salvage this is if they go up and start talking shit until they get forcibly kicked off stage. like i want to see ten back to back sets of dismembering journalist jokes and shitting on neom.
I'm honestly surprised that event got as memory-holed as it did
Like, the audio got leaked
There is audio out there of a man being dismembered while he was still alive
And we know who did it and why it was done and everyone just went "Ha ha, Dubai chocolate is so good"
The general public in the US (and, I would assume, the west more broadly) are treatlerites. They don't care about anything happening in the world unless there's propaganda telling them about it 24/7. Obviously the US government doesn't give a shit about one journalist being killed, so there's nothing from them, and it takes a live-streamed genocide to get comparable propaganda from the masses against Israel.
