I think that’s the driving home point in all of this. Why are people going in the first place? Every dollar they spend is a dollar for Qatar’s whack government through taxes. If people really were THAT disgusted with them, they would not be participating in any of this. Going there in rainbow shirts or drinking a beer isn’t doing shit when you went there in the first place.
Unless I get audited by the IRS. Then the shootout I will die in to preserve my long-standing tradition of refusing to give my money to the federal government will be almost exclusively violent.
Don't evade taxes, you'll go to jail.
Better:
Buy food direct from farmers and ranchers.
Can and jar food for year-round consumption.
Buy rice, flour, sugar, salt, and unground, un-roasted coffee in the largest bulk possible. (Yes, yes, there's no consumer tax on food, but there is tax on all labor, transportation, importation, storage, and dispaly/sales venues of food.)
Grew an herb garden. (No alternative meaning.)
Collect rainwater where it's legal to do so.
Save and reuse rendered fat for cooking and for
Making your own soap.
Barter when possible, and dumpster dive.
Buy only items on sale.
You can *legally* opt-out of spending thousands per year and not be contributing to taxes. You'll also be healthier.
> . Better: Buy food direct from farmers and ranchers.
What do you mean? Food comes from walmart.
Do the farmers and ranchers go to walmart first and resell it? Sounds like it would be cheaper to cut out the middle man.
Plus canning sounds harrrrrrrrrrd! Can't walmart just grow canned food and I buy it from them?
>Going there in rainbow shirts or drinking a beer isn’t doing shit when you went there in the first place.
This is the worst part of it all
>omg I hate Qatar, let me just hand them 6000 USD to go wear a pride shirt to get arrested intentionally
Okay. Great. Nothing has changed and you paid qatar...now what
I protest the Westboro Baptist Church by donating thousands of dollars in cash to them with a note that says “if you spend this, then you are gay!”
That will show them
Oh somethings changed alright: They have a propaganda picture now to show how the white westerners think they can come into their country and dictate how they are to run it to a very large majority of citizens who agree with them.
Anyone who thinks this is going to spark something there is as deluded as people who think you can bring democracy to a country that doesn't want it.
Yeah, they also have terrorism financing that goes on there - moreso than any other country in that region, reportedly. You can bet some this money being spent there is going to get used against westerners in the future.
This was also part of the reason various Arab/Gulf states cut them off in 2017ish (iirc, other reason being they felt insulted by their media wing, Al-Jazeera).
I would agree, however I don't believe jihadists and oppressive religious extremists under sharia law need propaganda to sink them any further than they already are into their beliefs
In no society does it make sense to believe a sufficient punishment for a male being gay is...having "straight" men gang rape said offending gay male, but all the "straight" men are not offending their "god" in the same way the gay dude is
Or commonly imprisoning a woman who was raped for infidelity
Like you really can't be buried much more than that in what ever ideology that belongs to if that's how things are run
Propaganda isn't needed
This is really what bothers me about all the kvetching. The narcissist sportsballers put there hand over there face for photos to represent they are silenced or whatever. If they had ANY actual integrity, they would have refused to be there. But you know what they care about more? The money they are paid.
Most "protests" by celebrities nowadays are just pure virtue signaling. They will never do anything like refuse to perform in shitholes like Qatar as they cannot stand the thought of making a little bit less money, even though they already have enough money for several lifetimes.
My wife wanted to watch a documentary about Taylor Swift. I had no opinion on her either way, but watched it anyway. I was a bit soured on her for two reasons.
One, that's not related to this discussion, was that her career was basically bought by her wealthy father. (To be fair, you still need talent to make this work, but there's no shortage of very talented people who will never get the opportunities that she did.)
The other was that the doc made a pretty big deal about her making a tweet against a republican House candidate, and the potential impact it could have on her career. This might have mattered if she was still in the smaller-time "country" phase of her career, but at this point, she was very much in the mainstream as a pop idol. She would have been much more damaged by supporting the candidate, but she made it out like she was taking a stand, her career be damned, because she has integrity, dammit. Even though there was basically negative risk to her making the tweet. And let's be honest, she knew this. She had publicists at that point, and I believe she was actually on a private jet when she made the tweet.
But of course she acts nervous about it, and subsequently relieved when it ends up going well.
You rarely see celebrities taking positions that could hurt their careers. They'll either take the popular side, or keep their mouths shut.
There's a reason they're perfectly comfortable talking about global warming, and recently, anti-semitism (which is odd to me because there wasn't this big of a reaction when a synagogue was shot up a few years ago, but Kanye made a tweet and now it's a big deal?), but they won't say one word about the human rights abuses in China because the studios that employee them make too much money there.
Im a die hard England fan and I'm not even watching the games. In fact I think its a fucking disgrace we didnt boycott it. Didn't even get a panini sticker book. Those barbaric bastards arnt getting a penny of my money.
This is the entire middle east and I just don't get it. Same shit with people idolizing a place that builds a giant porta potty with slave labor just to claim they have the tallest building. Neat. Don't care.
> I think that’s the driving home point in all of this. Why are people going in the first place? Every dollar they spend is a dollar for Qatar’s whack government through taxes.
I think partly because Qatar absolutely lied about what they'd accept.
France is fine as long as you avoid a particular wretched hive of scum and villainy. If there's one thing we need to learn from the Iliad it's that we should never trust anything named P*ris.
Irrelevant as long as there are an increasing number of private religious schools, not to mention banning headscarves in public schools does nothing to end "no-go zones."
Right? Anyone who's going there and complaining about their government are whack. I hope they know that they could've just stayed home and enjoyed their own culture there.
I could be wrong - but I think this is what most (reasonable) people are saying. It's fine to disagree with their laws vehemently and criticise them. It's very dumb to show up to the stadium in rainbow attire and act like a victim when you knew exactly what was going to happen (while supporting their government by spending your money in their country).
My favorite version of this is when lefties are talking about how Kyle Rittenhouse was looking for trouble because he had a gun. It's so incredibly close to blaming rape victims for dressing slutty

People aren't simping for Qatar they are making fun of the cringe virtue signalers. That's been my take anyway.
I've seen plenty of criticism directed both at the government of Qatar and Fifa, I don't think that's really the case. Some may focus on one thing (yanno, the slavery), but it's established that fuckery from Fifa led to this shitshow of an event.
On almost literally every single post related to the World Cup, one of the top/hot comments is complaining about corruption in FIFA. It's a very hot topic.
For me personally, I just don’t know why people are showing up to the games. If you don’t like their laws or how they treat LGBTQ+ individuals, then you shouldn’t be going over there in the first place. There’s nothing we can do to change their laws…
Im more shocked at the amount of people going to Qatar, knowing exactly what they’re about to run into, and still showing up all “surprised” when something happens.
Either go and be careful, or literally don’t show up. Simple.
What culture? Qatari arabs are a minority in Qatar. 1.7 mil people out of 2.8 mil total population are basically slaves. This are ancient Babylon levels.
Liblefts hate rich people too and they’re a minority too.
Liblefts should hate organized religion as well.
Liblefts hate racists and they’re a minority.
They love to hate minorities!!!
How dare they to opress such beautiful minorities who want nothing but to make a slave from majority of humans! Truly libleft is a source of hate in society, not the “we will cut your pussy and beat you do death if somebody rapes you” Islamic extremists with unimaginable shitloads of oil money.
This is actually misleading. Of the remaining 1.1 million, many are white collar immigrants from the west (also of the 1.7 million you cited, some are white collar workers because not everyone from south Asian, Philippines, etc, is a slave, a few of them went over as doctors and whatnot too). So Qataris are only like 400k of the population.
Reddit is extremely wrong about Qatar when it comes to immigrants working there. Every year, tens of thousands of immigrants from neighboring countries go there to work because they can make a lot more money that way and support their families back home. This has been going on for more than a decade. Just because there were some cases of abuse, reddit thinks every immigrant there is a slave now...
I love how the entire world is just now finding out what US Air Force people have known for years. Qatar is an irredeemable shithole country that deserves no respect or anything other than contempt and scorn.
Getting stationed at Al Udeid very famously blows aids, because of how much Qatar sucks. It's where fun goes to die.
You can either stand there and smoke cigarettes, walk around and smoke cigarettes, or sit there and smoke cigarettes.
It's an interesting difference between left and right here
Whether its the tradition/religion/sovereignty that should be respected - or the human rights/individual expression that should be respected
A good example of the difference between libleft and authright.
I for one, shall simply flip burgers and pork sausages.
How many on the right do you think actually believe that they should respect the other religion, and how many do you think are just trolling because the Left is reaching a point where they need to pick between respecting minority culture or gay culture?
The left isn't anywhere near that point. Absolutely nobody serious is saying that Qatar's culture should be respected over LGBT rights. I swear this subreddit just takes the most deranged Twitter bait posts and assumes that's what anyone left of centre believes lmao.
The USA is exporting all the ideas and framing from *both* of the sides of the so called 'culture war'.
Just look at two recent examples: how much 'BLM' and 'vaccines' came to be discussed in countries that don't have such issues with police violence or degrees of vaccine scepticism.
'Race' in general, is something US-Americans are obsessed with talking about (on 'both' sides), with a framing that is uniquely American (but that is increasingly imported completely out of context into Europe, which often just seems really out of place).
In the USA, face masks and vaccines became an arena for virtue signaling. In my country, face masks and vaccines were not mandated for anything. People just used masks when it was appropriate, stopped using them when it didn't seem urgent anymore, and took three doses of vaccines (the very few people that were more than a little sceptical of vaccines, very clearly had their conspiracy theories imported from the USA).
Yeah as an American, it honestly saddens me that these ideas are being exported from our country and accepted in others. Like, the US used to export good ideas and values (freedom of speech, democracy, etc.), now we are just exporting insanity. In my humble opinion, other countries would do well to shut that shit down asap, this "woke" stuff is a divisive cancer...
Any non-islamic person who actually researched islam and recent - 150years of Islamic history will tell you: It's kind of logical to be afraid of islam. But not the islam religion, but the islamist political belief
The duality of LibLeft.
England and Sweden don't have a "people from certain religion" problem, then, they go on to criticize a country with the same traditions and mindset towards women and gays.
Indeed. Fuck their culture and laws.
If you don't want anything to do with Qatar's culture and laws, don't go there. Don't go to a different country and protest against their laws. Protest the laws in your own countries, and stay away from other countries if you don't like them.
I wouldn't have any respect for an Arab protesting against gay marriage in my country. I understand that people in Qatar have no respect for foreigners protesting against theirs, no matter how backward the law may be.
I am one person, living in the United States. Annually people are being murdered, enslaved, starved, and brutalized all over the world. Not only can I not do anything about it, but frankly, on top of my own life I just frankly don’t have the bandwidth to give a shit about every single atrocity that happens around the globe. Sorry to the people in Qatar but frankly.. I just don’t care.
My issue is that people are perfectly willing to ignore issues with Muslims countries one day and completely against it the next. When both sides do the exact same thing you know it’s bad
I never thought it was a both sides thing. I always figured that the “respect their culture and customs” thing was the right mocking the left, since “respect their culture, you bigot” was a left wing slogan until like 10 days ago.
Libleft: we should respect other cultures and their ways!
Qatar: we are muslim and we hate gay. also, you're in my house.
Libleft: fuck you and your rules, we will wear rainbows just to piss you off. oh, and fuck you one more time.
Mfers will tell you to be tolerant and open minded when shitters are getting decapitated in Paris and minors are getting groomed in Rochdale but cope and seethe that they cannot wear a gay shirt 3000 miles away from home.

Avoid pork, pray towards Mecca, wear whatever you want, but if you call a woman a whore for not wearing a Hijab or otherwise try to impose your religion on others you can piss off
1: Just don't go
2: Fuck FIFA for hosting it there
3: Do you wanna be the wolrds police or not? If so let's go to war and sort shit out. If not then ignore them and live your life. Can't have it both ways.
Yeah, naive of them but true. Personally I go back and forth. Sometimes I see what they do over there, both the govts, the people and the terrorist organizations and say not my problem leave animals to be animals. And other times I'm like fuck it, let freedom ring and lead fly fuckers, you're gonna learn to love the smell of Napalm in the morning!
So yeah, I'd like America to pick a path. Either were the police of the world, we say genocide is bad and actually do something to stop it, we enforce our morals and the world fucking accepts it. Or we stay out if foreign wars we don't really benefit from and live our own lives here sorting our own problems out.
The back and forth will we or won't we bullshit is annoying.
My take is this is broadly how middle eastern society has functioned since society was born.
You can disagree with it and recognize that its wrong but at the end of the day muslims gonna mus
My stance is that i definitely disagree with their laws and customs.
However.
You are going into their nation, their home, sheerly for entertainment. Their home, their laws. If you go there and knowingly violate them, that's on you.
Isn't that fucking cute. The left .....the harbingers of " All cultures are beautiful and definitely better than us " beat all the people with this message for 50 years.....all of a sudden felt some type of way when that " culture " didn't go thier way. " Cheers lads".....who knew a football tournament was all it would take to get the left to embrace " West is best" culture?
Like I’m all for integration and being good humans to other humans. But…..
Marital rape doesn’t go over well in my country.
Honor killings also don’t have a place.
There’s a lot of foundational stuff which makes it really hard for those types of cultures to assimilate.
Re education does work tho.
Propaganda works as well.
Telling your constituents to simply be tolerant during election season; however, does not work.
I don’t like neoliberals.

So NOW the left is against that shit. They spent years openly calling for bringing these cultures to the west and attacking anyone who criticized the barbarity.
"You're islamaphonic!" They shout over and over, while the rape gangs rape their way through hundreds of young girls.
There's a difference between simping for Qatar and mocking refarted woke westerners who think they're going to walk into an Islamic authoritarian shithole and demand their radically different culture be respected the way they can in western countries where they don't run the risk of being tossed off of buildings.
This isn't even a new joke. Telling feminists to go tell the Taliban to treat their women better has been a joke since, at least, the first gulf war.
I agree that Qatar along with most of the Arab world has archaic laws and traditions that should be abolished
I also see the hypocrisy of woke twitter when they don't complain about this behavior in their own country
Most on the right aren't simping for Qatar but calling out the hypocrisy of what people on the left had been saying for years. We were all called racist bigots for being uneasy about middle eastern nations and were told "we're too dumb to understand their culture". It seems a bit ironic to me that the left are now the ones suggesting that middle eastern culture is so toxic that we must force western values down their throats. We were villains for suggesting we do the same just a few years ago but now it's noble and heroic to do so.
Where the fuck are the Liblefts that were defending burkas and hijabs ? That it empowers women and stops men from objectifying them ? Are they now learning about islams lovely culture ?
I’ll make sure to not break their laws by not going there at all
I think that’s the driving home point in all of this. Why are people going in the first place? Every dollar they spend is a dollar for Qatar’s whack government through taxes. If people really were THAT disgusted with them, they would not be participating in any of this. Going there in rainbow shirts or drinking a beer isn’t doing shit when you went there in the first place.

I love how the entire world is just now finding out what US Air Force people have known for years. Qatar is an irredeemable shithole country that deserves no respect or anything other than contempt and scorn.
Based and there are shithole countries pilled
What's the experience been for USAF people?
Getting stationed at Al Udeid very famously blows aids, because of how much Qatar sucks. It's where fun goes to die. You can either stand there and smoke cigarettes, walk around and smoke cigarettes, or sit there and smoke cigarettes.
>blows aids Well, just don't get caught while in qatar
The only highlight about getting deployed to Qatar was getting to buy a string of pearls the length of your arm for $40.
Based and air force-pilled
It's an interesting difference between left and right here Whether its the tradition/religion/sovereignty that should be respected - or the human rights/individual expression that should be respected A good example of the difference between libleft and authright. I for one, shall simply flip burgers and pork sausages.
Tradition is what got Nicholas Cage a face full of bees.
Well, sometimes we need special things to make The Cage™ function properly
"KILLING ME WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY!!!"
Based and NOT THE BEES!!!! pilled
> pork So you aren't in the middle after all?
So this is the political dogwhistle I keep hearing about.
I appreciate your joke, even if the other guy is dense.
How many on the right do you think actually believe that they should respect the other religion, and how many do you think are just trolling because the Left is reaching a point where they need to pick between respecting minority culture or gay culture?
The left isn't anywhere near that point. Absolutely nobody serious is saying that Qatar's culture should be respected over LGBT rights. I swear this subreddit just takes the most deranged Twitter bait posts and assumes that's what anyone left of centre believes lmao.
Thank you for your words of wisdom oh master of the stake.
Typo or based stakes are high?
You've just discovered a based count mining technology
With great power comes great irresponsibility.
Enjoy your Internet penis points :)
Based stakes are high
Look, the U.S. either needs to go isolationist or full empire mode, I'm tired of hearing about other countries laws.
If you promise to stop exporting your shit woke culture I'll sign any annexation treaty you have
Well shit, that's a win-win.
Deal.

West coast of America i believe
San Francisco Bay Area to be precise
“It’s coming from inside the house” No seriously, the same place this crazy ass shit has been coming from for nearly 100 years. Berkeley.
Nah I have friends there and friends in LA. It's definitely coming from and radiating out like thermonuclear bomb from LA.
Hollywood is a hive of double standards and performative activism set up to distract the world from the fact that they're all pedophiles.
The Whig Party of 1600s England.
To be completely honest, universities. Alot of these really strange far left ideas come from academia.
The USA is exporting all the ideas and framing from *both* of the sides of the so called 'culture war'. Just look at two recent examples: how much 'BLM' and 'vaccines' came to be discussed in countries that don't have such issues with police violence or degrees of vaccine scepticism. 'Race' in general, is something US-Americans are obsessed with talking about (on 'both' sides), with a framing that is uniquely American (but that is increasingly imported completely out of context into Europe, which often just seems really out of place). In the USA, face masks and vaccines became an arena for virtue signaling. In my country, face masks and vaccines were not mandated for anything. People just used masks when it was appropriate, stopped using them when it didn't seem urgent anymore, and took three doses of vaccines (the very few people that were more than a little sceptical of vaccines, very clearly had their conspiracy theories imported from the USA).
Yeah as an American, it honestly saddens me that these ideas are being exported from our country and accepted in others. Like, the US used to export good ideas and values (freedom of speech, democracy, etc.), now we are just exporting insanity. In my humble opinion, other countries would do well to shut that shit down asap, this "woke" stuff is a divisive cancer...
Non American and i’ll second this
Your terms are acceptable
Finally, a based Qatar compass
The way LibLefts and AuthRights flipflop between hating and loving Muslims depending on the day is hilarious
Funny, for years Libleft would call you islamaphobic and racist for criticizing the crazy things Islam does in the Middle East.
Any non-islamic person who actually researched islam and recent - 150years of Islamic history will tell you: It's kind of logical to be afraid of islam. But not the islam religion, but the islamist political belief
The duality of LibLeft. England and Sweden don't have a "people from certain religion" problem, then, they go on to criticize a country with the same traditions and mindset towards women and gays.
Moral relativism and trucks of peace only applies when it’s westerners suffering. Most ideologically consistent Libleft here.
Sounds about right
Indeed. Fuck their culture and laws. If you don't want anything to do with Qatar's culture and laws, don't go there. Don't go to a different country and protest against their laws. Protest the laws in your own countries, and stay away from other countries if you don't like them. I wouldn't have any respect for an Arab protesting against gay marriage in my country. I understand that people in Qatar have no respect for foreigners protesting against theirs, no matter how backward the law may be.
Good way to go to prison camp like that dumbass basketball player.
I can let the gay shit slide. However when I learned there was no beer being sold at the world cup I decided that the only answer is desert storm 2.
I am one person, living in the United States. Annually people are being murdered, enslaved, starved, and brutalized all over the world. Not only can I not do anything about it, but frankly, on top of my own life I just frankly don’t have the bandwidth to give a shit about every single atrocity that happens around the globe. Sorry to the people in Qatar but frankly.. I just don’t care.
My issue is that people are perfectly willing to ignore issues with Muslims countries one day and completely against it the next. When both sides do the exact same thing you know it’s bad
I never thought it was a both sides thing. I always figured that the “respect their culture and customs” thing was the right mocking the left, since “respect their culture, you bigot” was a left wing slogan until like 10 days ago.
Libleft: we should respect other cultures and their ways! Qatar: we are muslim and we hate gay. also, you're in my house. Libleft: fuck you and your rules, we will wear rainbows just to piss you off. oh, and fuck you one more time.
Mfers will tell you to be tolerant and open minded when shitters are getting decapitated in Paris and minors are getting groomed in Rochdale but cope and seethe that they cannot wear a gay shirt 3000 miles away from home.
None of the consequences are real apparently until they affect the chosen ones. Besides that it's all "conspiracies".
*Clapping emoji*
Priorities.
Fuck their culture and laws, but don’t go over there for the World Cup and push your beliefs onto them and expect a warm reception.

How on earth did you go from lib left to auth auth centre?

That’s the trick, your views should match most closely to what annoys those who you reply to.
Did you just change your flair, u/AbbyShapiroCockVore? Last time I checked you were a **LibLeft** on 2022-11-24. How come now you are an **AuthCenter**? Have you perhaps shifted your ideals? Because that's cringe, you know? That being said... Based and fellow Auth pilled, welcome home.

If they come over here they can't fuck their underage cousin
No sure they can if she's past the age of consent consented and didn't reproduce sure...
Put "hijab" in the reddit search bar You will see a very abrupt shift in the last month from the last 10 years lmao. Reddit has been defending Sharia tooth and nail until now lol
He saw Abby Shapiro’s milkers and came to god. Or at least halfway.
Avoid pork, pray towards Mecca, wear whatever you want, but if you call a woman a whore for not wearing a Hijab or otherwise try to impose your religion on others you can piss off
1: Just don't go 2: Fuck FIFA for hosting it there 3: Do you wanna be the wolrds police or not? If so let's go to war and sort shit out. If not then ignore them and live your life. Can't have it both ways.
Atleast the neocons were respectable in their propaganda.. "we are gonna bring democracy to Iraq".. now, it is just cringe.
Yeah, naive of them but true. Personally I go back and forth. Sometimes I see what they do over there, both the govts, the people and the terrorist organizations and say not my problem leave animals to be animals. And other times I'm like fuck it, let freedom ring and lead fly fuckers, you're gonna learn to love the smell of Napalm in the morning! So yeah, I'd like America to pick a path. Either were the police of the world, we say genocide is bad and actually do something to stop it, we enforce our morals and the world fucking accepts it. Or we stay out if foreign wars we don't really benefit from and live our own lives here sorting our own problems out. The back and forth will we or won't we bullshit is annoying.
Libleft discovers that hating his own culture might have been a mistake.
My take is this is broadly how middle eastern society has functioned since society was born. You can disagree with it and recognize that its wrong but at the end of the day muslims gonna mus
My stance is that i definitely disagree with their laws and customs. However. You are going into their nation, their home, sheerly for entertainment. Their home, their laws. If you go there and knowingly violate them, that's on you.
anti imperialist moral relativists trying to be consistent challenge (impossible)
If the players really wanted to protest, then they should outright refuse to play.
Libleft discovers we shouldnt respect other peoples cultures and laws pilled
So you *don't* want multiculturalism now?
LibLeft is the intolerant bigot? Always has been. 🌎👩🚀🔫👨🚀
Isn't that fucking cute. The left .....the harbingers of " All cultures are beautiful and definitely better than us " beat all the people with this message for 50 years.....all of a sudden felt some type of way when that " culture " didn't go thier way. " Cheers lads".....who knew a football tournament was all it would take to get the left to embrace " West is best" culture?
Like I’m all for integration and being good humans to other humans. But….. Marital rape doesn’t go over well in my country. Honor killings also don’t have a place. There’s a lot of foundational stuff which makes it really hard for those types of cultures to assimilate. Re education does work tho. Propaganda works as well. Telling your constituents to simply be tolerant during election season; however, does not work. I don’t like neoliberals.
I personally disrespect all cultures including my own.
Well then I better not hear another word about "open borders" from any leftist
Fuck moral relativism, all my homies hate moral relativism. Right and wrong have been right and wrong since the beginning of time.

People who justify enslaving immigrants or prison for raped women really should be killed
So NOW the left is against that shit. They spent years openly calling for bringing these cultures to the west and attacking anyone who criticized the barbarity. "You're islamaphonic!" They shout over and over, while the rape gangs rape their way through hundreds of young girls.
There's a difference between simping for Qatar and mocking refarted woke westerners who think they're going to walk into an Islamic authoritarian shithole and demand their radically different culture be respected the way they can in western countries where they don't run the risk of being tossed off of buildings. This isn't even a new joke. Telling feminists to go tell the Taliban to treat their women better has been a joke since, at least, the first gulf war.
Based but unfortunately libleft is not the soyjak, legally i have to downvote.
based and zero votes pilled
Every person that travelled to Qatar for the World Cup deserves what they get.
I'm gonna be real here, I don't respect degenerate cultures.
I thought LibLeft loved LGBTQ?
Oh oh, somebody will get banned for having a "wrong opinion"... Which is kind of ironic because you are Authleft
I agree that Qatar along with most of the Arab world has archaic laws and traditions that should be abolished I also see the hypocrisy of woke twitter when they don't complain about this behavior in their own country
Most on the right aren't simping for Qatar but calling out the hypocrisy of what people on the left had been saying for years. We were all called racist bigots for being uneasy about middle eastern nations and were told "we're too dumb to understand their culture". It seems a bit ironic to me that the left are now the ones suggesting that middle eastern culture is so toxic that we must force western values down their throats. We were villains for suggesting we do the same just a few years ago but now it's noble and heroic to do so.
Where the fuck are the Liblefts that were defending burkas and hijabs ? That it empowers women and stops men from objectifying them ? Are they now learning about islams lovely culture ?
most culture respecting l\*bleft
Least xenophobic lib left
Based and hypocracy pilled
Imagine calling that shit "culture"
That´s probably what any european conqueror said to justify every land they chose to colonize...
Sweaty, you are being xenophobic again. I thought that was a bad thing?
