Dubai's culture is so openly shallow and materialistic
Dubai's culture is so openly shallow and materialistic, and its social structure is so patently corrupt-its once-vaunted development and luxury are so directly built on the backs of slaves and oppressed people-that I must confess,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I think it's the only place in the world that I think less of people for living in. China, Israel-of all the places whose governments I disapprove of, I would never morally judge someone simply for moving to that state or living in that city. But when I meet people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], personally or in my business, who live in Dubai, I really do immediately think less of them as people. I am worse inclined to them; I find myself thinking it a moral failure to participate in the waste and vanity that that city produces. Don't you?-----endtime 964 days ago | link
Do you not realize that you live in a country where slavery exists? Do you not find the expat culture in Dubai to be vapid and vile? If not,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'd be interested to hear why; everything I've read about Dubai indicates that is very much that way. Where are these vapid expats you speak of?-----sjs 964 days ago | link
It's not really all that different in North America is it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? If you want to stretch the word slavery like that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. We exploit people all over the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I don't think it's fair to be that judgemental towards someone unless you cease to participate in any activities that facilitate someone somewhere being exploited.-----endtime 964 days ago | link
It's completely different from North America; your hand-wavy equivocation is completely unwarranted. There aren't vast legions of workers brought into the US under false pretenses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who then have their passports confiscated and are forced to work for several years in excruciating conditions just to "earn" their freedom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], simply to build a fake city designed to attract morally blind foreigners.-----notahacker 964 days ago | link
There are vast legions of workers working in conditions which are neither free nor pleasant to produce consumer goods for North American (and European) markets. They just happen to be conveniently overseas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], conveniently one remove away from the multinational brands who contribute to the problem in their quest for ever-cheaper suppliers.-----kragen 964 days ago | link
That's true; the vast legions of workers brought into the US under false pretenses, who then have their passports confiscated and are forced to work for several years in excruciating conditions just to "earn" their freedom, are there for other reasons entirely. Having known someone who worked for Al Jazeera and heard the stories that get supressed involving workers conditions it wiped the sheen right off.-----afterburner 964 days ago | link
I've read of many cases of maids being imprisoned in the households they serve,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not paid, and sexually assaulted by the owner of the household. This is slavery without ambiguity.-----Locke1689 964 days ago | link
The difference for me is that it's very easy to make a difference in this case: just don't go there. However, that also means that I get to make a moral choice of where I spend my money. I don't believe that spending money in Dubai enriches anyone but the exploiters.-----raheemm 964 days ago | link
