Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A lot of this is because they see plastics as the way to keep on extracting oil even if countries decide that burning it isn't a good idea.

They've also opposed efforts to limit that problem.

Saudi Arabia is cancer. I'm sorry to all the people that were born there.

The projects that are getting build there are using labourers from third world country in the most inhumane conditions still going unnoticed.

Same here in case of plastics.Let the world go to hell but the Sheikh s get their coffers filled with cash.

Unnoticed? We have known for years, we are just unwilling to do anything about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Its still unnoticed by the world. Meant its open truth but nobody is doing nothing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Unnoticed implies that it is a problem of informing the public.

The public (the publ8c who cares about issues and reads news) already knows. Our politicians just talk it away and do nothing to address it.

It started with Qatar .... And then the story continues.

Didn’t the US hold one or two?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yuh yuh...US has one coming in the nearby future.

Name a country that hosted that isn’t guilty of something past or present.

Brazil ! IMO , there doesn't seem to be any human rights issue as far as I remember.

The indigenous peoples losing their lands to farmers and ranchers might say otherwise.

The root of evil remains the economic system. If there’s profit to be made from suffering it will be made. Capitalism has no hell where evildoers go. The fear of it does get people to straighten up somewhat during their life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Indeed.

Evil is everywhere with capitalism. The point is that where there is a slight bit of chance to reduce the level of evilistic ideas , it should be tried at least.

Qatar is a very rich country with ample of money. It could have properly facilitated with a bit of human treatment for the foreign labourers coming from not so rich countries in order to earn and provide for their family. Was it impossible to do? I have heard that the rules are quite strict in countries like Qatar , Saudi , UAE regarding corruption.

USA , Brazil and etc etc are also evil in the name of capitalism. I agree.

Qatar is a very rich country with ample of money. It could have properly facilitated with a bit of human treatment for the foreign labourers coming from not so rich countries in order to earn and provide for their family.

The universal truth about rich people everywhere, is that they never feel like they have enough money.

Also, no human rights. Except if you believe in brainrot bullshit and are a straight male.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

U meant complete cocked male ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Agree with that ... No-human rights at all

It is the Saudi royal family that is the cancer

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As a Saudi who was born and live there, it has always baffled me how, despite the government and royal family being comically evil, the majority will still support them.

Even if you tell them and show them proof of the horrible crimes against humanity that happens daily, they'll either try to justify it, or brush it off saying "doesn't affect me".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

يحسبونك مباحث تبغى توديهم ورا الشمس.

If you were Saudi you would have known the answer to this. 🥕🏒
