    I mean Indonesia literally conducted multiple genocides, with one currently happening. Anti-Chinese and anti-Christian hate crimes has been brewing for the past few decades as well. And the aforementioned still strict anti-Communist laws @[email protected] mentioned.

    UAE and Saudi Arabia, depending on their methodology, if they only sampled citizens (which I suspect is the case considering the surveys were done only with English and Arabic in the 2 countries) would obviously be much more supportive, and even if they didn’t, those who would stay would literally lose their jobs and be deported if any sort of discontent is expressed.

    90% of the UAE are migrant workers, while for Saudi it’s 40%. When you outsource your entire working class to the superexploited Global South, you can give perks to your own citizens, not unlike how European social democracy worked in the 20th century, enabled by American protection and fossil fuel wealth.
