#84. SNK in Bed With the Devil?

FGC Philosophy

Back in April, I uploaded an episode of FGC philosophy with a guest named mine Soleil. In that episode, we discussed SNK's is partial owner, Mohammed Bin Salman(MBS). He's the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the defense minister of that same country. In the episode, we talked about our conflicting feelings about SNK working with this known war criminal and how we can go about handling that situation.

Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist who was assassinated in the Saudia Arabian consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Khashoggi has been shown to be critical of Saudia Arabia and its leadership. The people responsible for said murder are supposedly closely connected to MBS. The US and other nations have found MBS responsible for the death of Khashoggi. That story is one of the highest-profile pieces of news that we have on MBS. There have been many other deaths connected to MBS in and around the country of Saudi Arabia. In my opinion, it's important to ask the question, is SNK in bed with the devil?

Many of us have had Politics thrust into our personal lives during this pandemic. I'm not here to tell anyone what to think or do, however, it's important to revisit this topic. Soleil recently reached out to express some concerns. I wanted to share his and my thoughts on the topic.
