No matter what you think of Dubai, this is cruel.

I think this is hilarious. People who help enable such a terrible country and actively promote it don’t get any sympathy. I’ll save that for the slaves unable to leave.

My schadenfreude does not extend to this type of suffering.

Go to the regional subreddits. They're dominated by expats, and I bet you'll rediscover your sense of schadenfreude right quick.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You were right I found it back for the pets these "expat" are letting behind.

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

These people had no problem living in a slave city or abandoning their pets to die of thirst, as exemplified by that post.

Which proves my point...

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ho boy... I though you were defending them... My bad

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You right, can you link me to the reddit where the slaves used to build and maintain Dubai are speaking about their evacuations ?

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's my point.....

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't understand, that was sarcasm ?

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

No, I'm saying they're pieces of shit who chose to live in a slave city, and have no problem abandoning their pets.

So no matter how many bombs fall, I will never feel sorry for those expats.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 1 points 2 weeks ago

Same. My bad, I misunderstood you.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This endangers civilians.
