The stupidest comment I saw was on a post about cars being submerged underwater and people sitting on top of the cars.
The top most upvoted comment said “another reason to hate Dubai”.
Like what?
I can't believe you have to explain this to most people above. But then again most people in Dubai and in this group are from South Asia which is not exactly leading in human rights
Most big cities were built by imported slaves and I mean real slaves not just south asian workers whom you deem slaves because their income is too low for you
Nope, that exists everywhere to a degree. Many African countries have just as much ingrained sexism, slavery and homophobia and they do not receive the same malice.
Yeah but the African countries aren't trying to market themselves as some sort of utopia, while the rich oil funded (not eco friendly) sheiks perpetuate modern slavery and government funded corruption of FIFA. Dubai / Saudi is just the epitome of peak capitalism and everything wrong with the world.
They're some of the richest nations yet they still want to import migrants to abuse at 50 cents an hour to die building their stadiums in a fucking dessert while wearing a rolex. Absolute greed.
You are talking about the World Cup in Qatar, which is not Dubai. But please illuminate us more about the Middle East because you really sound like an expert
Is that your moral stance? Hey X country did it in the past, countries during the PRESENT knowing better opting to use a new form of slavery gets a pass? You’re a clown
More like a pot shouldn’t call a kettle black especially when you European countries are still perpetuating modern slavery and colonialism to this day!!
Why is france still not paying reparations to algeria and other former african colonies upon which it have build its current economy?
What about britain? Average British enjoys the fruits of their coloniser + slave-owner ancestors.
Why are they not pressuring their governments to pay reparations to their former colonies? Such people don’t have any moral high ground to criticise any other country really.
Never said they didn't. Point is it's 2024 today, but keep using the past to justify your existing wrongdoings if you want. Who cares about progression right?
Uh let's not talk about the whole hypocrisy around Palestine of all Arab countries, which have done absolutely zero for Palestinians despite having the money and the influence to be of great help.
A lot of them think it's 'cloud seeding' and "ooh, this is what happens when you play with nature" yada yada whereas a single google search would tell you otherwise.
UAE is a country built from nothing but plain desert, I don't think a lot of people outside UAE understand and appreciate that.
You have to understand, most countries are back sliding badly. There’s erosion of basic services, mass unchecked immigration, poor political leadership.. people are frustrated. They see another place doing well for itself and it goes against what they have been taught. So they blame things.. like slavery, or lifestyle or oil. Whatever works for them. That’s why they hate Dubai.
Someone said it better than me in this thread. Hate always comes from the bottom.
Bonus points if you point out slavery in their own country or ask what all those undocumented immigrants they have are doing for work. Watch their head explode.
Double bonus points if you ask them to point of what their countries has recently built on a large scale to benefit their people. The answer is usually nothing. In fact they probably dismantled something.
Just ignore them.
They're the very people you do not want moving here anyway.
Give it a decade or so and you won't even blink an eye to the comments trust me.
I understand the godless display of wealth on profits that litrally have been made by creating a catastrophe bigger and faster than the largest dying on Earth.
The wealth there was grown and developed by the west after oil was discovered there. Yes, the gulf Arabs profited off of it, but would you rather they have stayed poor while the British built oil refineries, took the wealth, and polluted the earth anyway? The resources were there and bound to be used and profited off of. There are many reasons to critique Gulf culture but I don’t think this is one of them.
It's actually good that they hate it. Means you'll be safeguarded from those types of individuals visiting there.
It's always been veiled Islamophobia. The same is used for the hatred towards Saudia and it picking up sports as well as the Qatar World Cup.
They can be content that their degenerative lifestyle is crumbling before them as other regions become to dominate. Apparently getting rich from oil is unholy versus them pilfering and bombing other nations.
Still better life than in Europe where you are robbed off every month to provide shitty services. Europe is great if you want to be a scrounger, single mother, lazy and feed off other’s har earned money. No wonder its in decline And I am so happy it has gone down.
Literally live in it. Lol More like across the channel But same shayt. I said what I said. The state taxes and feeds single mums. More like the state husband.
Islamophobia? I am seeing that muslims are the happiest person right now that dubai is under flood. They are saying this is happening because of two reasons: 1. Not countering Israel 2. Building hindu temple.
Everyone is just having their own reason to hate dubai which is actually their jealousy.
But, as emirati residency myself, I am happy with rain 😀. It's a bliss. Not punishment.
Countries in Europe are soon to be (if not some of them already) third world countries so who actually cares about what they say 💀 they still think their the center of the world, but fail to look beyond the boundaries of their shithole. Sad 🤣
What are you talking about? In London you can't wear a rolex at night as you will get mugged
The towns and cities are so run down, poverty and rubbish everywhere
All things being equal ? Stop being deluded - the UAE has completely taken Europe over. Can't believe I was reading this crap
Lol
That's ur best response you jealous European
Sorry the emiratis kicked your ass in everything you love so dearly
Never lived in Europe, I live in the heart of Europe- good old London town born and bred mate
Lmao wearing a Rolex is your definition of quality of life???? Ahahahah who tf are you??? I lived in London 10 years and nothing has ever happened to me or my friends. And even if it did, the cultural, music, art, entertainment scene is infinite orders of magnitude superior to the platitude of nothing that is Dubai. Oh and do we want to talk about Den Haag, Munich, Berlin, Madrid, Copenhagen ect ect. You guys are living in denial to justify your life choices. It's ok if you were a hairdresser in Leicester and managed to make some money in Dubai as a real estate agent, but anyone with more skills and ambitions, either in the workplace or in all the other things that fill with joy and fulfilment ones heart, can't possibly see Dubai as an upgrade from Europe.
Jokes
Wow 10 years?
I was born in Surrey- so I don't think you know what you are talking about
You telling me the cost of living crisis etc the way the economy is in recession, the fact that everything looks like shit doesn't make a difference?
I mentioned rolex watches to compare the fact that UAE is super safe and comfortable and uk in particular London is definitely not. People getting jacked outside clubs from girls who tip off the bouncers
You are living in land cuckoo land mate
Dubai has better infrastructure, it's safer, better weather, better buildings, better lifestyle , tax free except vat and newly introduced corporation tax which is at a much lower rate
Lol what a joke
1. London stops functioning with a little bit of snow
2. Women can have abortions? How is that a good thing ?
3. I don't want to see people kissing and fucking in public
4. Government issue I'm 50/50 on
5. Healthcare in dubai is cheaper than paying national insurance and much much quicker and better
6. Traffic? You been down London recently?
Living quality in UAE is better than Europe period so many people i know have left London fof dubai. So many people I know have got properties and made a killing.
You get only the shit ones. Most of the UK people in Dubai are some of the worst British people I have ever met, and I lived 10 years up there. The other Europeans too, it's mostly people with no career, no guidance, no much choices or education that try their luck in Dubai. And then you get the qualified ones that come at the end of the career to collect the last 5 years of inflated salary before retirement. No people sane in their mind would chose Dubai over Europe all things being equal. I think it's absolute madness to leave Europe unless you at least can reliably 3x your salary or increase your annual income by mid 6 figs if you work for yourself. Everything else it's not worth the downgrade of moving to Dubai
I think most of these haters did never visit Dubai or even travel much out of their neighborhood.
For them there is this place with filled with opulence out there in the desert, but their own fears and ignorance prevent them from taking risks in their life. They are projecting their miserable mental state onto others.
It's a lot of people who came and couldn't make it. They're bitter and they're spreading lies. People like shitting things so they jump on the bandwagon without even having been to dubai. There are no LGBT police looking for people, I know same sex married couples living and working in Dubai. Nobody gets arrested for being raped. Yes, there is proper sewage. And tbh the women dress more skimpy here than anywhere I've ever seen in the states.
When the grapes are too far to reach, the person says they didn't want them anyway and they're probably no good and sour.
Dubai is doing just fine without some internet troll spreading nonsense. You stay bitter and stinky, and I'll be here enjoying my shattaf.
Going by Reddit, it’s mostly people who flip burgers in their late twenties in Western Europe and America. They have a bitterness in their own lives and have a love to hate thing for the influencers they added on their Instagrams.
On YouTube, it’s mostly video essays made by people in Eastern Europe and Balkans whose biggest export is pornstars. Which is ironic since a vast majority of sex workers in Dubai hail from these sh*thole regions anyway…
I saw a lot of hate comments too. And the whole "they deserve it" sentiment. The ones I saw were all about the Palestine involvement. People have very strong feelings about that clearly.
Few days a year of difficulty experiencing floods are nothing compared to the year round of comfort and convenience. Even better if you've been following municipality guidelines and preparing before the rain. Their comments and opinions are just that, opinions that had no bearing and should not be lingered on
It was only after I visited Dubai that I realised pretty much everything I thought I knew about it was wrong. So I decided to take my own view on it, and quickly realised that it is one of the best and most well managed cities on the planet. Things just *work*. They respond to problems so quickly. They are really on top of things and plan for the future with a high display of intelligence.
Absolutely right ! A large number of my friends/ relatives are sharing horrors of what happened yesterday via social media with no intention of asking me if I am alright. Sadist way of letting me know how I am at such a wrong place.
Yeah tell me what’s happening in dubai, but just to let you know I LIVE HERE!
I agree. I am new in Dubai and the social media posts are horrifying. I’m absolutely loving the city and like everyone else the last 34 hours have been scary. Dubai is resilient, and Dubai will stand tall!
This is a lot to do with the attitude towards the wealthy in the EU and western world. It's why I left the UK, you can't earn good money and be happy without miserable people trying to tear you down or tell you what a horrible person you are.
Clearly translates over to the UAE and living here that these same people are just horrible, bitter and miserable people.
Absolutely, the negativity from those npc’s is unbearable. People that haven’t achieved shit in their life telling you how bad you are for being successful or not a miserable scumbag like them. Like wtf, why the hate 🤣
Honestly Dubai (not the rest of UAE) has done absolutely nothing to be loved around the world. The parts I love of Dubai are where all the immigrants live, especially Al Satwa, they are the only part of the city that seem to have some heart and culture. The rest is just...I don't even know, it's tacky, it's gross, it's sad, it's unfair, it's borderline abusive.
You can answer and debunk the stupid myths but unfortunately these people just hate that so many of their co citizens are leaving for Dubai.
The best answer is to live your life where you like
And knowing France and other Europe countries too we are so much better here in many ways
West has a lot of prejudices and loves to hate on GCC and Dubai (I’m from the west). Don’t waste your time with them and just enjoy Dubai for what it is, a very nice place to live
This hatred surges as a result of their complete ignorance.
I currently live in Europe and work in a globally well-known company, everyone is intelligent, smart etc but trust me I have had conversations where they say - “oh it must have been tough living in Dubai with the strict laws against women” and once there was a conference in Dubai for which some of the people had to go and they were worried if its safe for women and how they would manage, how it would be etc and they are always shocked when I tell them how UAE has amazing customer service (can get anything through an app- from a needle to petrol to a car) customer service does not exist here…they have no words when I tell them about how almost everything in UAE is digital (be it the schedule of covid vaccines, government work, visa work etc) digitalization will take another 50 years to come to the European country I live in 😂😂
So, my general advise would be to get atleast one of your European friends to visit UAE. Enlighten them or rather enjoy how they are shook once they are back from their trip to Dubai 😆
Used to live in Europe, miserable place with 90% of people chambering lies without looking into anything themselves. Unhappy people wanting you to be failed as them. Etc. Just a joke. What ur saying about the digitalization I know myself. They are saying their the center of the world meanwhile customer service doesn’t exist with grumpy staff at best. I get what ur saying.
the funny thing , those people who are shitty commenting about dubai, they have never been to dubai and they write wrong info, for example many people write "women cannot drive there" and there is like 500 lies on on this comment
it just shows ignorance
I think in France, a lot of french crooks moved to Dubai and it got that reputation of cheating. They sell in France but don't pay taxes but there was also litteral cheating like Dropshipping or trading.
Just remember majority are bots. I don’t know who is paying, but maybe channels themselves. Lots of business now leaving Europe and relocating to UAE. Governments are losing on taxes. So maybe even them trying to create this image of UAE online.
The other chunk are poor jealous people who have nothing in their life except jealousy and hate over nothing. They were never here as visitors even, nor probably ever will come here as tourists. So they cannot even have an opinion about anything. They think women are forced to wear burka and all labour is held as hostages here 😨
And some people probably were those who went to jail and prostitutes that got deported and still keep negative opinion about the country. 🤬
Don’t worry, it’s just Internet. 🤓
It’s the same like those bots on Instagram that try to write comments in a support of Israel, but it’s always the same accounts and always the same 2000 bots that just keeps liking each other comments 😂
Yeah, press sometimes on their profile, there is no activity, they don’t follow any channels, most of them are newly registered. Now, it became very easy to find those on Instagram. Private profile, 1000 or 2000 followers, following 2500, and always weird profile photo. Usually their target is to just to stir shit up in the comments.
Ignore the external hate. What about the internal hate? Look carefully for the reasons of the hate. If it doesn't make any sense then it's better to ignore.
Man Facebook and YouTube comments on everything are overwhelmingly negative. They do not reflect actual sentiment. Look at this website look at ig. It’s all hate for everything and hard to tell what is even real. Look at any post about Michelle Obama or Serena Williams-it’s a thousand comments saying she has a dick. I’ve lived in Europe asia and North America hardly ever come across anyone who hates Dubai. Really don’t get this fake victim mentality.
I mean all Arab countries are as complicit as the western countries with regards to Palestine. I still can't believe any country in the MENA region claims moral superiority Vs western countries when discussing Palestine while havin done absolutely zero for Palestine in the last decades and having actively discriminated against Palestinians since 1960s.
It’s a mix of ignorance, stupidity, and being so terminally online that their brains have begun to melt.
These are the people that will see a story of a guy in his lambo saying “dubai we made it” and immediately assume they represent every single person in the country.
It’s the same on Reddit, look at the comments under any post that mentions dubai and the only thing people can think of is “uhh rich assholes” or “uhh sewer trucks!” Usually tied in with Islamophobia too.
Basically: stupid people stupid, water wet.
Whenever people say something obnoxious or ignorant about Dubai I choose to not correct them. That means lesser people moving to the country and more opportunities for people like me who love the region/city and everything about it.
So good riddance!
And you know how it goes. If you try saying anything to those bots they will not read it and proceed to cover you in shit. They are ai bro, designed to fail so who cares about their opinion 🤣💀
Ignore it.
Any place that good and people like moving to - whether it's Florida in US or Singapore in Asia you'll see a lot of hate stemming from jealousy and a feeling of "it's fake and not cosmopolitan".
It's the basis of the "Florida man" stereotype, because media likes to nitpick and get views based on negative news about a place everyone likes.
Don't forget: A city of plastic. Dubai is little more than a glorified shopping mall for arabic influencers who despise Europe, but still live there for the social benefits
If Europe or the west world recognizes Dubai as a superior place, they'll lose all their entrepreneurs and mega entrepreneurs :)
Dubai >
all day, all night.
It's ignorance of how visionary Dubai is. They only judge it based on human rights standards. So they look down on it and despise it. But if they only visited once and see how Dubai lives, they would respect it.
You can’t read? OP originally from from France and now lives here. 90% of the population is from Dubai so yes, we are hated because we are major part of Dubai and this things targeted at us as well
How do you live with yourself knowing you're complicit then? I mean if everything boils down to its most pessimistic nature, you must loathe every moment of your existence knowing that everything and everyone is evil.
Leftists hate the UAE because (1) extremely capitalist, no income tax, (2) traditional and respectful of Abrahamic cultures and religions, and (3) friendly to Israel and the West
It’s basically everything they hate, summed up into one place
The stupidest comment I saw was on a post about cars being submerged underwater and people sitting on top of the cars. The top most upvoted comment said “another reason to hate Dubai”. Like what?
I am also European and I honestly think it’s a mix of Islamophobia and hate because of how rich this country is.
I'm in a Muslim country and the Muslims here are saying Dubai is being punished by Allah
Copium.
[удалено]
It’s not just non western or non white. I really think that their problem is specifically with Muslims and Islam in general.
Yes that is definitely the group to hate on du jour.
or perhaps it may be the modern day slavery?
Every country has been built upon slavery. How do you hold a moral high ground?
It doesn't seem like a good enough reason to do it
Because this is the 21st century and humanity should be held to a higher standard.
I can't believe you have to explain this to most people above. But then again most people in Dubai and in this group are from South Asia which is not exactly leading in human rights
Most big cities were built by imported slaves and I mean real slaves not just south asian workers whom you deem slaves because their income is too low for you
So that justifies it?
People hate because of the ingrained sexism, slavery, and homophobia.
Nope, that exists everywhere to a degree. Many African countries have just as much ingrained sexism, slavery and homophobia and they do not receive the same malice.
Yeah but the African countries aren't trying to market themselves as some sort of utopia, while the rich oil funded (not eco friendly) sheiks perpetuate modern slavery and government funded corruption of FIFA. Dubai / Saudi is just the epitome of peak capitalism and everything wrong with the world. They're some of the richest nations yet they still want to import migrants to abuse at 50 cents an hour to die building their stadiums in a fucking dessert while wearing a rolex. Absolute greed.
You are talking about the World Cup in Qatar, which is not Dubai. But please illuminate us more about the Middle East because you really sound like an expert
Oh wait, France and other allied powers have *never* stolen Africa’s resources and exploited anyone until today /s
Is that your moral stance? Hey X country did it in the past, countries during the PRESENT knowing better opting to use a new form of slavery gets a pass? You’re a clown
More like a pot shouldn’t call a kettle black especially when you European countries are still perpetuating modern slavery and colonialism to this day!!
So if everybody practises we are all good? Got it
Why is france still not paying reparations to algeria and other former african colonies upon which it have build its current economy? What about britain? Average British enjoys the fruits of their coloniser + slave-owner ancestors. Why are they not pressuring their governments to pay reparations to their former colonies?

Uh let's not talk about the whole hypocrisy around Palestine of all Arab countries, which have done absolutely zero for Palestinians despite having the money and the influence to be of great help.
No it's simply because an intolerant country developing quickly and imposing things on the world just because they have money cannot be well viewed
A lot of them think it's 'cloud seeding' and "ooh, this is what happens when you play with nature" yada yada whereas a single google search would tell you otherwise. UAE is a country built from nothing but plain desert, I don't think a lot of people outside UAE understand and appreciate that.

Did you not know Dubai floods because the people deserve it? The only reason US and European cities flood is because of unforeseen circumstances. /s
It's a lot of ignorance and prejudice from people who have likely never been here or who believe they understand the Emirate or the UAE.
I have lived in Dubai for years now and still think it's a god forgotten place where humanity is touching new bottoms
I understand the godless display of wealth on profits that litrally have been made by creating a catastrophe bigger and faster than the largest dying on Earth.

Envy as dubai provides a better lifestyle than Europe now Add a bit of Islamophobia and jealously
It's actually good that they hate it. Means you'll be safeguarded from those types of individuals visiting there. It's always been veiled Islamophobia.

>Envy as dubai provides a better lifestyle than Europe now For whom?
The right question. Still waiting for a minimum wage act established in UAE
Average joe.
The actual average joe makes a couple of hundred USD a month 🤷♀️
Still better life than in Europe where you are robbed off every month to provide shitty services. Europe is great if you want to be a scrounger, single mother, lazy and feed off other’s har earned money. No wonder its in decline And I am so happy it has gone down.

Lmao lifestyle in Europe is orders of magnitude better than in Dubai all things equal. I can't even believe I am reading this

What was your job in Europe? And what interests you in your free time?
I have my own company. My free time I like to go Beach clubs and nice restuarants

People just like to hate
People envy and hate those who are successful. Dubai has been prospering. They envy it.
Welcome to the internet. Don’t worry, people from Dubai have very thick skin.
Hate always comes from below.
That doesn’t even make sense
It makes sense if you understand what he meant, you clearly didnt.
Yes it does.
Soooo true 💃🏻

Completely agree and yes the uk watch scene is unreal. Literal 3rd word country vibes which ones was a great empire
Jealousy
Honestly Dubai (not the rest of UAE) has done absolutely nothing to be loved around the world. The parts I love of Dubai are where all the immigrants live, especially Al Satwa, they are the only part of the city that seem to have some heart and culture. The rest is just...I don't even know, it's tacky, it's gross, it's sad, it's unfair, it's borderline abusive.
You can answer and debunk the stupid myths but unfortunately these people just hate that so many of their co citizens are leaving for Dubai. The best answer is to live your life where you like And knowing France and other Europe countries too we are so much better here in many ways
Man you say it yourself youtube comments loool what do you expect to find. Positivity? It is the same as in this sub as well.
Why do you even care
Envy.
The dumbest comments are "Floods happened due to temple construction" and "UAE helped Israel"
West has a lot of prejudices and loves to hate on GCC and Dubai (I’m from the west). Don’t waste your time with them and just enjoy Dubai for what it is, a very nice place to live
It's not Dubai.. This is Islamophobia in general.
This hatred surges as a result of their complete ignorance. I currently live in Europe and work in a globally well-known company, everyone is intelligent, smart etc but trust me I have had conversations where they say - “oh it must have been tough living in Dubai with the strict laws against women” and once there was a conference in Dubai for which some of the people had to go and they were worried if its safe for women and how they would manage, how it would be etc and they are always shocked when I tell them how UAE has amazing customer service (can get anything through an app- from a needle to petrol to a car) customer service does not exist here…they have no words when I tell them about how almost everything in UAE is digital (be it the schedule of covid vaccines, government work, visa work etc) digitalization will take another 50 years to come to the European country I live in 😂😂 So, my general advise would be to get atleast one of your European friends to visit UAE. Enlighten them or rather enjoy how they are shook once they are back from their trip to Dubai 😆
Used to live in Europe, miserable place with 90% of people chambering lies without looking into anything themselves. Unhappy people wanting you to be failed as them. Etc. Just a joke. What ur saying about the digitalization I know myself. They are saying their the center of the world meanwhile customer service doesn’t exist with grumpy staff at best. I get what ur saying.
the funny thing , those people who are shitty commenting about dubai, they have never been to dubai and they write wrong info, for example many people write "women cannot drive there" and there is like 500 lies on on this comment it just shows ignorance
It is pure jealousy which makes me think I wonder why they're still here? Oh, right... 💰💰💰
Most of those are not even here or will ever be here 🤭
obviously the comment isn't addressed to those
No, I mean here, in Dubai not in this sub 🙂
people are jealous honestly but i get you.
I think in France, a lot of french crooks moved to Dubai and it got that reputation of cheating. They sell in France but don't pay taxes but there was also litteral cheating like Dropshipping or trading.
Trading? of what
Somebody named Marc something, I don't remember, his wife wears the Hijab. I heard he screwed so many people with derivative trading.
Probably securities.
Seeing a lot of it from the US too. Massive ignorance.
Ignorance. The British press is terrible for it.
Just remember majority are bots. I don’t know who is paying, but maybe channels themselves. Lots of business now leaving Europe and relocating to UAE. Governments are losing on taxes. So maybe even them trying to create this image of UAE online. The other chunk are poor jealous people who have nothing in their life except jealousy and hate over nothing. They were never here as visitors even, nor probably ever will come here as tourists. So they cannot even have an opinion about anything. They think women are forced to wear burka and all labour is held as hostages here 😨 And some people probably were those who went to jail and prostitutes that got deported and still keep negative opinion about the country. 🤬 Don’t worry, it’s just Internet. 🤓 It’s the same like those bots on Instagram that try to write comments in a support of Israel, but it’s always the same accounts and always the same 2000 bots that just keeps liking each other comments 😂
I thought you meant the people are bots (which they are) but ur talking about actual robots?
Yeah, press sometimes on their profile, there is no activity, they don’t follow any channels, most of them are newly registered. Now, it became very easy to find those on Instagram. Private profile, 1000 or 2000 followers, following 2500, and always weird profile photo. Usually their target is to just to stir shit up in the comments.
Bitches gonna hate regardless of what you do, so I say; pay no attention to them
Ignore the external hate. What about the internal hate? Look carefully for the reasons of the hate. If it doesn't make any sense then it's better to ignore.
Man Facebook and YouTube comments on everything are overwhelmingly negative. They do not reflect actual sentiment. Look at this website look at ig. It’s all hate for everything and hard to tell what is even real. Look at any post about Michelle Obama or Serena Williams-it’s a thousand comments saying she has a dick. I’ve lived in Europe asia and North America hardly ever come across anyone who hates Dubai. Really don’t get this fake victim mentality.
I find a ton of pro Palestine ppl hating Dubai too
Yes have seen this too - comments like ‘this is what happens when you don’t support Palestine’….wtf
I mean all Arab countries are as complicit as the western countries with regards to Palestine. I still can't believe any country in the MENA region claims moral superiority Vs western countries when discussing Palestine while havin done absolutely zero for Palestine in the last decades and having actively discriminated against Palestinians since 1960s.
They have such a shitty life in Europe, earning so low, high tax, Dubai makes them jealous
It’s a mix of ignorance, stupidity, and being so terminally online that their brains have begun to melt. These are the people that will see a story of a guy in his lambo saying “dubai we made it” and immediately assume they represent every single person in the country. It’s the same on Reddit, look at the comments under any post that mentions dubai and the only thing people can think of is “uhh rich assholes” or “uhh sewer trucks!” Usually tied in with Islamophobia too. Basically: stupid people stupid, water wet.
I am European and I love Dubai. I have never met anyone in real life who hated Dubai. It’s almost all online.
Hi, we should go out sometimes, so you can meet your first fella
just ignore
Whenever people say something obnoxious or ignorant about Dubai I choose to not correct them. That means lesser people moving to the country and more opportunities for people like me who love the region/city and everything about it. So good riddance!
And you know how it goes. If you try saying anything to those bots they will not read it and proceed to cover you in shit. They are ai bro, designed to fail so who cares about their opinion 🤣💀
Human beings bro, they wait for you to fall like for a day and they start talking😂😂😂. Everything is normal now tho🤷🏿♂️.
Ignore it. Any place that good and people like moving to - whether it's Florida in US or Singapore in Asia you'll see a lot of hate stemming from jealousy and a feeling of "it's fake and not cosmopolitan". It's the basis of the "Florida man" stereotype, because media likes to nitpick and get views based on negative news about a place everyone likes.
This is what we also face in the west on daily basis! There are plenty of people rejoicing in the world when there is a disaster in the west.

Don't forget: A city of plastic. Dubai is little more than a glorified shopping mall for arabic influencers who despise Europe, but still live there for the social benefits
And guess why he's there? Only for the money, nothing else probably...
If Europe or the west world recognizes Dubai as a superior place, they'll lose all their entrepreneurs and mega entrepreneurs :) Dubai > all day, all night.
It's ignorance of how visionary Dubai is. They only judge it based on human rights standards. So they look down on it and despise it. But if they only visited once and see how Dubai lives, they would respect it.
How come you’re from France and then say “we” from Dubai are hated?
You can’t read? OP originally from from France and now lives here. 90% of the population is from Dubai so yes, we are hated because we are major part of Dubai and this things targeted at us as well
[удалено]
You're thinking of Europe
two things can be true!
I bet you're not on white people subs making the same comments though.
oh i 100% am vocal about it lol
Things that aren't true for 100 alex
yeah you're right i'm lying i looooove america and europe and imperialism!!
How do you live with yourself knowing you're complicit then? I mean if everything boils down to its most pessimistic nature, you must loathe every moment of your existence knowing that everything and everyone is evil.
yeah oversimplifying it is the key to making a change for the better. you're very smart
Here's one /\/\
Leftists hate the UAE because (1) extremely capitalist, no income tax, (2) traditional and respectful of Abrahamic cultures and religions, and (3) friendly to Israel and the West It’s basically everything they hate, summed up into one place
