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.

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.

[-] BlesthThySoul@lemy.lol 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 3 points 2 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?

[-] BlesthThySoul@lemy.lol 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee -2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] BlesthThySoul@lemy.lol 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

[-] BlesthThySoul@lemy.lol 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

U meant complete cocked male ?

[-] BlesthThySoul@lemy.lol 2 points 2 weeks ago

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