these two feel like a pretty good fit for comedywashing Saudi Arabia. Hard to see why anybody would feel surprised or betrayed by it, with these two.

(I am opposed to comedywashing. They shouldn’t go.) suggesting that free speech is good while in Saudi Arabia is not a way of praising SA, but of criticizing it. If I went to USSR and said ‘there is more capitalism here than in NYC) that compliment would be a criticism of the USSR

So it seems free speech doesn't cost anything, but silencing it costs a bloody fortune.

WTF guys (mostly). Is your punchline really worth 350k… or a million? Since when did social comedy turn into comedywashing ?
Khashoggi was murdered October 2, 2018. We’re just a couple of days away from the 7th anniversary.

Yes, but that’s what I mean by saying comedywashing is bad. I think it’s impossible to hear ‘speech is freer in SA than USA’ and not actually hear that as criticism of the USA for not being extremely free. If I say ‘Scrooge is nicer than you’ I’m just saying you’re bad and niceness is good.

Why be fussy about this? Criticize them for comedywashing SA. Yes. But. To praise free speech implies criticism of places that do t grant it. That is basic human thinking. I’m not reading into anything. Just simple. If you said ‘oil is bad,’ implies criticism of SA. Dead simple.
