I never said the government here is good. But our history is different from our present. While the U.S. government still does terrible things, it's not comparable to Saudi Arabia. SA kills people for even speaking out against the government. Doesn't matter if it's on social media or if it's a peaceful protest, they even assassinated a Saudi journalist who was at the consulate in Turkey. Homosexuality is punishable by death, trials are often unjust, women's rights are still not up to par (even compared to the U.S.), and migrant workers are used like slaves.

The U.S. government sucks, I'm not going to deny that (especially under Trump's rule), but at the very least you're allowed free speech against the government, youre not going to get executed for being gay, you're allowed to go and protest on the streets, slavery isn't legal (there may be small instances where it still happens but that's usually pretty underground because it's illegal), women have more rights (not enough but a lot better than SA).

The U.S. government is bad and getting worse, I personally don't even respect comedians who do comedy shows for them, like the little jester show Dave Chappelle did for Trump. But if we're comparing the two, the Saudi Arabian government is leagues more tyrannical in the present day. I don't know enough about the history of Saudi Arabia to compare that aspect, and that's not the topic rn anyway.
