Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off

RE: Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off
I hate to say it but appalling as it is I'm not surprised. Happens all the time in these Middle Eastern oil countries, where these builders (often immigrants from South and South-East Asia) are basically in slave conditions. Dubai was built on almost slave labour.

Shame it takes this to get the media to actually notice and talk about it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
