I used to drive through the Kingdom to go to Bahrain sometimes - my wife hated covering up. It's fun to watch them chase Filipino hookers and get obnoxiously drunk off of four beers at seedy bars though.
Notably, the more wealth a country has, the more empathy they can afford. The World Bank, for example, only loans money to countries that agree to allow international corporations to exploit their land for agriculture with the result that they pump the water out of their ground faster than the rain can replace it, while the Americans and others who eat the food they produce and support the system then send people in places like Africa money so they can dig deeper wells. Hence, the amount of empathy their culture supports actually enriches themselves by supporting the labor to grow all the crops they eat. Johnathan Swift, the author of Gulliver's Travels, lived during the Irish Potato famine when Englishmen, whose landlords caused the famine, debated what to do about the "Irish Problem". Swift wrote a sarcastic editorial suggesting it was every Englishmen's duty to eat Irish babies. For his trouble he received thousands of letters all requesting to know where they can buy their Irish babies and find recipes.
I was going to say maybe they looked at how much people liked watching videos of kids accidentally hitting their father in the crotch wall a 'boning' sound effect plays. But America probably invented that.
