You started with attacking a random person (not a politician, not someone with power, but a regular tourist) who made a very mild critique of the abhorent treatment of LGBT-people in a slave-state. It looks a lot like obfuscating. For all intends and purpuses, you're defending them.
Second: Since when has the US cared about partnerships between foreign policy enemies?
That's correct in theory, but it won't happen in Qatar, given their vital function in the US imperial machine and their groveling behavior towards US foreign policy.
Nations will be forced to confront their own internal antagonisms regarding production and society and will only progress that way.
I certainly agree with that take, but that doesn't mean we should stop showing solidarity with repressed and exploited people in the Global South. The LGBT-community in a slave state like Qatar is helped by foreign press writing about their situation.
I’m for LGBTQ rights but dude, don’t fucking ally yourself with the CIA of all fucking people.
I'm not allying with the CIA, and I'm pretty sure the tourists wearing rainbow colors aren't either. You're strawmanning.
BTW, it's hard to take your support for LGBT-rights seriously when you start of with the following quote “no, I don’t care about your so-called rights, fuck off.”.

Didn't realise that. That's also why I said it was a "defense" of Qatar. Apologies.

I do stand by the fact that I think it's incorrect to invoke the "don't ally with the CIA"-argument in this context.
