Jason Jones from 3addedminutes unpicks some of the cultural differences at play during this World Cup | Artwork by Talenthouse
Debate simmers over the cultural fissures that have rendered this World Cup unapologetically monstrous. Many have been appalled by Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers and members of the LGBTQ community alike. Both demographics are endangered daily at the behest of the petrostate’s gluttonous ruling class. Others have been affronted by a lack of alcohol and an insistence on public decency. But these indignations, it hopefully goes without saying, are not created equal.
Nobody with an inkling of decency would suggest that Qatar as a nation should forego its societal practices on frivolous things like affordable pints and topless bald men to appease the gaze of the Western world. If you genuinely believe that sort of thing is a human right, I don’t know what to tell you. Get yourself down the Bigg Market in Newcastle on any given Saturday and you’ll satiate your craving in twenty minutes, max.
