Criticizing someone while doing business with them isn't hypocritical unless there are ample other options.


correct, although i'd add that i dont think the govts are terribly hypocritical either.

if i criticize McDonalds bathroom because there's feces on the wall but then order mcdonalds that's only hypocritical if there's also a taco bell, burger king, subway, and 2 other McDonalds in town.

France and Germany are trying to end a relationship with Russia, who is committing serious human rights issues, and they've moved on to Qatar who is also committing human rights issues but less bad ones arguably. if they had an option to buy gas from a squeaky clean county they likely would.

often when i hear people write words like "irony" or "hypocrisy" it become clear quickly they dont know what those words mean. and to be fair almost no one, even english as a first language people, use Irony correctly. many americans likewise struggle with the concept of hypocrisy.

Really shows these people live in a bubble when they decide to host in a place like Qatar and are just SHOCKED when Qatar doesn't have the exact same cultural beliefs as the west. If a country worshipping gay people is so integral to people playing football maybe Google that shit before spending billions of dollars to have it there.

They just love to virtue signal but also forget how they treat migrant workers themselves. I posted a thread about East European migrants working in German slaughterhouses a while back, it aint pretty

and the award for "most clueless post of the day" goes to:



1 - no one is "shocked" by or needs to "google" qatar's stance on slave labour, women's rights, and LGBT+ people. all of that is and was well known ever since their WC bid "won".
2 - the people who "decided" that (many of them heavily bribed) are NOT the same people that are complaining about it right now. in fact, the FIFA boss is doing his best to defend the decision - that's what the whole thread is about, lol.
3 - the guys who spent the billions of dollars are the ones who HOST the world cup, not the ones that oppose qatar's massive human rights abuses. it's called "sportswashing". look it up.

seriously, just 2 minutes of reading could have spared you that massive embarrassment of a post, lol.

Imagine attacking the OP of a thread by calling them far right rando and saying Infantino is bought by Qatar, but forgetting your Qatar critical government decides to kiss Qatari ass to sign gas deals LMAO

And yes such behavior is called hypocritical, for sure the governments in question. If you want to be a finger pointing woke clown and shit on Qatar you shouldn't to business with them. Or cut out the virtue signaling woke BS and don't shit on Qatar and just do business with them.

You mcdonalds or whatever analogy has nothing to do with this. You can try posting a thread about your mc restroom experiences in general chat.

So we can add analogy to words you dont understand along with hypocrisy and i can only assume irony. thats what an analogy is.

i bet you have plenty of links to qatari asses being kissed, rather than you know just normal business deals lol. oh wait.
