LWDT 7: The Earth and Heavens Tremble.

[Kowani]

One only needs to surgically remove the troublesome parts.

If you do not live in a nation that practices Shariah law, they are not troublesome parts to you.

Ignoring immigration, globalized capitalism, instability in those regions…

Shariah law predates global capitalism, modern levels of regional instability, and the outpouring of migrants. In theory, a nation can practice Shariah law and be stable, while also retaining its population.

And yet it is affected by all of them, or rather, the spread of it is.
In theory. How’s that practice coming.

Egypt is doing relatively alright for itself.

A true success story, with one country.

Egypt is pretty unstable and violent.

I don't know what your basis is for a success story but Egypt coming out of a revolution and then the revolution getting beat down by its own armed forces doesn't sound like it. Tunisia seems to have been doing a lot better.

Tunisia seems to be the only North African country doing well for itself, and not screwing over its people in the process.

Oh, I was being sarcastic.

Ah, apologies then. So it was just ND praising authoritarians again.

And it's not even ruled by Shariah to a significant extent.

Seems like avoiding Shariah - or any religiously-centered law system, for that matter, but it's the only one with such strong influence today - is a requirement for any degree of lasting success.
That, or being fuckoff rich so you can pay your people not to overthrow you, but that only works for so long.

Referring to Brunei, I imagine?

And most of the Gulf States - Bahrain and Qatar, most prominently. Qatar is literally a slave state.

Don't know much about Kuwait - is it the same way?

Not all too familiar. Bahrain and Qatar are the most striking for me personally. Qatari employers can literally take passports from foreign migrants.

Ironically, yes.

Tax cuts for the rich do not generate many jobs according to studies on the matter. Only tax cuts for the poor and middle class have this effect.

But won't you think of the poor, poor billionaires, working their fingers to the bone setting up offshore accounts and buying private planes for their mistresses?

Don't worry, they too will receive a basic income.

Hey! I'll have you know that some of the billionaires are good, hardworking people and they have male sidepieces!

I don't see why these bigoted people hate capitalism! Capitalism is woke! They value all wallets equally!
