There’s a lot of confusion right now regarding the death toll on the stadium construction. Nevertheless the workers rights seem very dodgy to say the least and there is this anti-LGBTQ+ rights.

What are your takes on it? Is the West right in its outrage?

    These stadiums are always built as mega gentrification projects and the other participants use slave and criminalized migrant laborers domestically. I feel like it’s just thinly veiled Islamophobia and malding that Qatar is moving closer to the SCO more than anything.

    More than happy to sell them weapons and only call for Russian and Chinese expulsion from these types of events. It’s white man’s burden tier outrage.

    • There’s absolutely islamophobia involved in the reaction, and Qatar isn’t a western puppet, but still the points of lgbtq and migrant workers are something that can’t be ignored.

      It is but the critic still seems valid. Regardless of the western agenda, a lot of people seem to have actually died in the country. That’s enough for me to no want to be involved with it.
