Also they build with what is almost slave labor.

  Blame the nearby countries providing no jobs, no education, and no future for these laborers instead. Also don’t forget the hundreds of thousands of people from the exact same countries who gain respectable middle class, stable jobs in UAE that their home countries don’t provide. I’m not here to defend every decision that UAE has made but they’ve done a lot of good for people who come from countries with unspeakably shitty governments that deserve a lot more condemnation.

    In the Roman Empire if you found a child that would otherwise die you could adopt it into your household as a slave since that was certainly better. Your logic is absolutely sound if you dispute the concept of human rights entirely. The problem is you create a permanent underclass in the country since you take literally almost all rights from them. Including by the way the right to return where they came from.

    You don't just get to do human rights abuse because someone was born into poverty or conflict.

    What you are saying is that slavery is not bad because they get to eat now.
