How is it even possible in the twenty first century for blasphemy to be a crime? What sort of personality requires punishment for disrespecting a non-existent imaginary friend?

    It's our client state, FFS. Dude was an indetured servant for royalty.

    It's not a Muslim country who has more prisoners than any other nation through legalized slavery under the 13th Amendment.

    This is about capitalism and empire, not religion.

    Oil.

    America gives zero shits about human rights if you willingly give up your natural resources.

    We're arming over 80% of the world's dictatorships, which makes us the least democratic nation in the world if you see democracy as a universal principle.
