This shyt been happening for years in this area. Stories already broke when they were building the Burj Khalifa so nothing surprises me anymore from Qatar/UAE/Bahrain oil tyc00ns. In a country, poor people are as poor as rich people are rich. And those Persian Gulf dudes are rich as hell.Is there anything more sinister than the Qatar/FIFA WC slave labor story that broke today?
Really is Sepp Blatter even going to be alive once that world cup rolls around? He's already 77, christ I could only imagine what he's gonna look like then, Blats being wheeled out during the opening ceremony looking like Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China, clapping his hooks together in jubilation that he realized a world cup built upon the remains of migrant Nepalese men and women.
I actually sorta want to see that
These Nepalese rather get enslaved and earn a little money than live in better conditions but struggling money-wise.
As years goes, I realized more and more how lucky I (and we) am to be born in a ex-colonizing 1st world country. I could be unemployed, sick and depraved and have my state taking care of me (even in jail) while others in the world could die in a matter of days. It's crazy how unfair the world is.
But what can we do about it ? Rally ? Outrage ? Talk about it ? Send money ?
We might do that now and in 2022, we'll watch the WC games supporting our teams sipping beers with friends in front of a 60' screen and during half time we will be like "-You know thousands of nepalese died building those stadiums ? -Yeah, horrible stuff, shyt was outrageous, fukk those qatari !" and then we will smile when the second half will start.
The there's the issue of someone playing in qualifiers from 2019-21 then sitting out. Probably not happening at all.
