“Highest hypocrisy per capita” lmao. This video was actually really informative about things I was ignorant about thanks Geo.

[SrPequen]

I think Dubai is the perfect example of a dystopian city controlled by huge companies that dont care with the workers, while the city is inhabited by the richest people in the world who dont care about the workers too

[magnusdamkier]

Geopold cannot contain his actual disgust and hatred for Dubai behind his usual immense layer of irony, love to see it.

[aashibahuguna]

the fact i got a dubai tourism ad in this video LMAO

[prettybueno]

The very fact that, to call out Dubai and injustice in general, almost half of the video needs to be censored to avoid demonetization is ridiculous and disgusting on Youtube’s part.

[SirotanParkHanedaGarden]

Ah yes, rich western influencers living in their luxurious highrise apartment penthouses while Nepalese and Pakistani slaves build their 170ft swimming pool, truly a developed and globalized country at its finest.

[ALaughingWolf]

Dubai is essentially “we have so much money so that means everything will work”

[Kangaroo]

I went to Dubai on vacation once and a mall worker told me "Dubai is hell coated in Gold", damn shit was deep

[Skynet_]

As a person born and raised for 16 years in Dubai, and lived in Sharjah. This cannot begin to scratch the surface on the dystopia that is that fucking corporate hell hole. No birth right citizenship, no attainable process of gaining citizenship either. From day 1 of my birth until I left, the government treated me as a guest, going so far as to not allowing my family to be even considered permanent residents, but temporary residents. This applies to every single Arab, Nepali, Bengali, Indian, just everyone who isn't Emarati. You need to continuously renew your residency or risk deportation to whatever hellhole you tried escaping from to raise a family.
This is but 1 example of human rights abuses, how about Emaar and other Khaleeji companies building recruitment offices in impoverished nations, signing contracts with workers some up to 30 years of labor, only to confiscate your passport when you arrive, even though its not "legal". This country is simply built on the backs of slaves who deserve to be freed. The fact they are viewed as lesser is genuinely disgusting, as they're human and without them, this sandcastle of a nation would literally grind to a halt.

[xkumanekox]

I know the term 'dystopia' is thrown around a lot these days, but if anything, Dubai really is the purest definition of dystopia.

[Jim]

It's actually physically painful to listen to celebrities lecture you about human rights whilst promoting places with appalling human rights.

[chrism]

99% or people in Dubai can be classified into one of 3 groups. Just 3.
1) People with a UAE passport. Rich and powerful.
2) Rich expats working for corporations based in Dubai because there is no income tax, who cozy up to the local authorities.
3) Poor, foreign workers that have no rights, live in deplorable conditions, and are at the mercy of the other two.

The nobles, the aristocrats, and the peasants.
Modern Feudalism.
And trust me, each one of those behaves exactly how you'd expect them to behave towards the others. It's fucking depressing.

[saturnodevorou]

They had infinite money to build a country for the future and then did a cardboard version of the USA, but even more soulless, car dependent and brutal for the poor.
Amazing feat ngl, it's like trolling in cities: skylines with mods.

[IAmSuyogJadhav]

I went to Dubai last year. Did not have to utter a single word of English. Everyone spoke fluent hindi. Talking with the cab drivers made my heart break. They basically send back home as much as they can and can only afford to visit their family like once a year.

[TheTrueVirus]

I am from Germany and there was also a story in one late night show during the pandemic where the host made fun of the same topic.
There were quite a few German influencers who decided to go to Dubai, they also made tons of videos emphasizing how great Dubai is.
They talk about how in Germany you are so restricted, nothing is allowed and the profession of "influencer" is not taken seriously etc.
Then they compared it to Dubai there it is so much better because you actually get a "license" which makes being an influencer so much more professional.
However, that license is basically just an agreement to a set of rules of what you are allowed to say and do, but apparently for them that is not restricting at all.
(The guy who said that Germany is so restricting btw. made a prank where he paid with fake money and got into trouble. Try that shit in Dubai my guy)

A female influencer also made a prank video in Dubai and immediatly got into trouble because she was spotted via CCTV. She then uploaded a video apologizing
for what she did, she praised the police for intervening and how those levels of "security" actually make her feel safe.
Dude if that happened to her in Germany, there would be no apology, she would be pissed that she was monitored, she would have called Germany a "Surveillance state" and trashed the police.

Most influencers are braindead and/or have no morals, they do what is required to get sponsorships and brand deals the rest does not matter to them. Most of them probably do not see their own hypocrisy.

[dennisndirangu]

Imagine jailing migrant workers all because they were fighting for their rights for you to pay them their salaries. These people are so evil

[Ashish-rkpk]

As a Nepali myself i have heard about countless experience of our Nepali brothers and sisters being treated as slaves, living in deplorable conditions, facing overwork, having their visas and passports confiscated, experiencing delayed salary payments, and being subjected to sexual abuse. These are deeply troubling and unacceptable violations of human rights and dignity.

[novat]

Will Smith is not even a poor man. It's at least understandable that a poor person would sacrifice their morals for a payday, which would benefit his or her children.
But Will Smith is RICH. He could have said no to promote the slave state and he would have enough money for the rest of his life, or he could have said yes and still have enough money for the rest of his life. It literally makes no difference to him as a person, or his children. Even if managed poorly, his line will live in abundance for the next 75-150 years.

[geeg]

I was born and raised in Dubai and it’s sad how dystopian it is. Nothing there is real and they can say whatever they like in the media. They will lie about how hot it is so that builders cannot stop despite the fact it is over 50 degrees c. They cover up murders to make the crime rate lower and they put people in prison for minor charges for one person but not the other. It’s a horrible place and I would never go back despite it being my ‘home’. I am not proud of that or that place.

[nytoaddis]

I spoke to a driver from Afghanistan, he has lived most of his life in Dubai, he said when he reaches 60, he has to leave. What a heartless place, using people and discarding them when they get old.
