Muh material conditions

If material conditions shape everything, why are gulf arabs still so retarded, backwards, religious and uneducated despite being rich? I'm not just talking about Saudi princes: Even the average arab citizen in the UAE or Qatar enjoys a living standard well beyond western europeans.
Not even the all-consuming force of capitalism has made any real dent in the pure ideology of islamist arabs.
When will you accept certain cultures are incompatible with the west and that race matters, no matter how many resources you throw at it?

It's not really capitalism though, it's just hyper-feudalism. The Gulf states are built on slavery as well as immense oil wealth so that the natives don't have to work.

The people with "material conditions" in the middle east are the ruling class propped up by the west. The mass of people there aren't rich any more than you'd be rich by moving into a shed next door to bill gates.

/liberty/ tier argument. You forgot your black and yellow flag.

The gulf states arent really the same as the wider middle east tho.

But yeah the Saudis are reaping the dividends for being a US client state.

k

The Gulf States are slave states. It's not capitalism, it's feudalism. Look it up.

The wider middle east knows no wealth except that propped up by the west though. Saudi might be the most blatant example but it's still largely true that in most of the middle east wealthy = western buttsniffer.

The few exceptions are places where true leftist anti-establishment sentiment was rooted out so consistently that the only game in town to challenge the establishment power is hardcore islamism, and in that case it's still perfectly in line with ideas of materialism.

That's like saying whites are the ruling class in America because mexicans do all the hard labor and blacks get most of the police violence, which is indeed an argument Unruhe makes by saying first worlders are the labour bourgeoisie, but I think that calling gulf arabs the labour bourgeoisie is lacking.

dude. there are literal slaves.

That would mean America is feudalist because it uses illegal immigrant labour.

Illegal immigrants aren't literal slaves though. Migrant workers in the Gulf are approved of by the government who lets the companies they work for take their passports and tell them they can't even leave if they wanted to until they work off the debt they accrued travelling there which never ends of course because they're charged all their wages for room and board.

I'm not really calling gulf arabs as a whole the labour bourgeoisie, and I think there's a distinction to be made between my argument where I claim the political upper class in those regions is sustained through deference to global capitalist establishment rooted in other countries and Unruhe's argument that there is an intrinsic geographical basis to being that upper class establishment. Also, the "ruling class whites" in America don't sustain their wealth by selling out the interests of their people to foreign interests.

Literally what are free trade agreements, selling real estate in coastal cities to chinese investors, shilling for Israel and promoting mass immigration of both skilled and unskilled foreign workers?

unironically kind of.

Granted, but the majority of people who benefit from all of those things are cooperating western business interests, concentrated heavily in the US. With that said, the main crux of the point in the OP is "why is the middle east fucked up when it's wealthy" and the main answer is "they really aren't, and the only ones who are are a very, very select few who serve at the direct discretion of the west".

What the fuck is wrong with you people? The gulf states are propped up by oil/gas export money and a large population of what is essentially immigrant slave labor (Kafala). Most of the native population is given welfare or government paper-pushing jobs to placate them and keep the state legitimate.

High income or wealth doesn't magically make you an enlightened secular genius, especially if you're in an authoritarian state which censors speech and the press and polices the people to keep them from rising up.

You don't seem to understand, they import pakistanis and indians by the truckloads have them work on their gaudy building and then don't pay them or offer them any way to get home. They're stuck in a shitty situation they can do nothing about except for a violent uprising.

Literally america

Literally America, remember the 48%

But muh material conditions. Muh base and superstructure

As opposed to America arresting 200 protestors and city ordinances banning leftist and black organizations? With a news media bought by wall street?

The wealth disparity in the MENA region is incomparable to anything in the west.

Not the counterargument you hoped it would be. The wealthy oil oligarchs in the region are the ones that are the most westernized. It is simply in their interest to maintain the wealth disparities and the presence of radical islam as a force in the region for geopolitical motives

Are you implying immigrants in America are living it up? Okay Mr. Trump.

No. 80% of their workforce is immigrant labor. It's not even comparable.
You get executed for protesting in SA. There's levels to this shit dude.
Granted but the West has to maintain a veneer of transparency in it's media which allows it to claim to be free and open. While the beast is completely unmasked in countries like the Gulf States. You should check out the distinction between the diffuse and concentrated spectacle.

**40%
My b.

I'm a complete fucking idiot. The percentages are comparable. I'm gonna go sit in the corner for a while.

They are retarded because they were the first victims of the jew. It was poor Christian Americans who hated being poor and worked hard to get out by building a better mousetrap who shaped everything. But then the jew swooped in and took over the innovation. Since few inventors are also killers, the jew won again. Stay retarded and violent to keep the jew away.

My enemas are pretty simple. I am a FFer so I want and need a deep, total cleanout. I want my ass clean for 12 hours if need be.
use a fleet enema bottle. Just my preference. I use the larger size, there is a very small fleet enema that can be used but it requires several more bottles shot up my ass. The larger size 5oz is quicker. I shoot 4 of those up my ass. I then get down on all 4's. I then drop down on my shoulders while keeping my ass high in the air and let that water run deep in my colon. Trust me, this will take practice as you will have the major urge to release it.
For the sake of keeping your bathroom floor clean, STAY NEAR YOUR TOILET! You will have a major urge to release but it will subside if you can hold it. I then stand up and shoot 4 more(another 20oz) of water up me and yes it gets really hard to hold it in but I once again get down on my shoulders, ass up and let that water run deep in my colon.
By that point I am SO FUCKING ready to release. It feels so good to plop down on the toilet and let that eruption go from my ass. I feel like it cleanses my soul!
I gently push all the water out. BUT IN NO WAY AM I FULLY CLEANED OUT YET. The worst has yet to come out and needs to be lured out. That nasty shitty water that if not cleaned out will likely come out while later getting fucked.
Inserting a dildo makes quick work of luring out all of that shitty nastiness. As deep as you can take the dildo will lure out the water faster. Any good bottom at that point should be inserting a dildo, just for hole prep for fucking. It is a good way to open up your hole anyway, to get it ready for a good hard cock pounding.
But it also serves the purpose of luring out that final shitty water. IMO I can't get that dirty water out unless I insert a dildo for a few minutes. While I insert the dildo, I hold it in and brush my teeth, shave etc and get ready for the shower. I leave the dildo in for at least 10 minutes while brushing teeth etc. I pull it out and out comes the remaining dirty water. One more quick fleet bottle to rinse and into the shower I go.
It takes me 10 minutes to enema and push it out. Another 10 minutes or so of dildoing to get the water out while prepping, shaving etc.
I can be fully enemad, showered and out the door in under an hour and be 100% confident of my hole being clean for up to 12 hours after the enema.
