Some people in Qatard are confused.

They actually think that their discrimination of LGBT+ people and women is apart of their "culture" and that any criticism towards them hosting the world cup is the Western world being racist. Honestly, it's the same with Christians in the Western world, people seem to think that culture means their right to discriminate against minorities and any criticism is "but muh culture." Honestly, it's idiotic. No honey, your culture doesn't extend towards taking away rights, that's not how it works.

I also love how some Muslims in Qatar are saying "we don't go to Western countries and tell them what to do." There's like several incidents in which they tell the Western world how to run things like the entire 9/11 incident was based on a hatred of Western ideals which interestingly Christian nationalists have praised Muslim fundamentalist groups for the same reason.

Hello! Idiots.

It's their country and their laws, as bad as they're seem to everyone else, isn't that they're confused it's like someone said, a different "universe" it's how they are and that's normal for them.
For them other countries and their differences are simply guests, that should respect their "home"

@SW-User Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.
SW-User
@BlueVeins huh? But you're pretty intolerant about anyone that doesn't think like you do, and you fail to see that. Seems that's what you don't get. And never will, but doesn't surprise me at all.

@SW-User I'll call people out when they're wrong, idc if you call it intolerance. It's the entire basis of rhetoric itself, and it's exactly what you think you're doing in that exact comment.
SW-User
@BlueVeins exactly, you think they're wrong according to your own criteria, which doesn't mean a thing in a practical way.

@BlueVeins "if" isn't happening, so let's not talk about it in the first place. The difference about a fact and a supposition is huge really.
Or instead of arguing with people online here try doing something productive about it, would be better really.
See ya.

@BlueVeins Like I said: moral relativism. The real problem is that you're intolerant, not that migrant workers or LGBT people are treated inhumanely.

Really, though? Why is that the real problem? What makes that worse than anything else?

@SW-User Why are you mad about me using rhetoric to impose my moral principles on Qatari oligarchs, and yet you're not mad about Qatari oligarchs using violence to impose their moral principles on gay people and women?

"if" isn't happening, so let's not talk about it in the first place

The fact that you're unable to answer this is a huge red flag. The reason I'm asking you this is to see whether you're actually a moral relativist or if you're just a garden variety homophobe couching her bigotry in the language of moral relativism.

@SW-User Also, a shit ton of societies throughout human history have completely normalized child sex in some form; consent as a social standard is a frighteningly modern thing.
SW-User
@BlueVeins nope not mad just don't like wasting my time like you love doing, so yeah think whatever you want, and there's a difference about being unable to not being willing to continue talking and wasting time. So that's it, but yeah keep making assumptions you're great at it.

@SW-User Why do you think being tolerant of intolerance is virtue?
SW-User
@SW-User ha I didn't say those words at all, just let it rest, wasn't even talking to you either
BlueVeins · 22-25
@SW-User Well, you didn't say those exact words...

@SW-User If the cops catch someone murdering their wife and the murderer tells the cops that murder is OK in their own moral criteria, should the cops accept that answer and leave without arresting them?
