westerns have the audacity to lecture the world about human rights LOL

[@lildesk172]

6500+ died from building Qatar’s stadiums. Little to none have died from US and European stadiums and most workers are given a liveable wage. The west can also speak freely against their government’s wrongdoings without legal repercussions. Cant say the same for Qatar.

@@hie1221 when have "Western countries" ever killed thousands of people just to have a World Cup in their Country ? In most Democratic nations there isn't even death penalty. Also how is "the west" supposed to Start a World war ? When hast any Western Nation ever Tried to annex a Country in the last 50 years? And Do you really think Qatar is a better Place to live or has a better government than any developed democratic nation?
