If it has a better human rights record than Russia, who hosted the previous tournament?

Is it because of their temperatures, football history, the fact that Qatar had made many slaves build the stadiums and dozens of them died from the abuse, or what?

That was also a problem.

Like, a big one.

Acting like Russia didn't have people complaining about it is chud behavior.

Their own government says 400-500 people died making the stadium. Others estimate thousands.

Does it though? Don't get me wrong, Putin is shit, and LGBT rights in Russia are non existent, but up until the war started, most regular Russian citizens pretty much lived how we do in North America.

In Qatar you could go to jail just for filming a Qatari citizen. Even by the standards of the middle east Qatar is a shithole.

Besides the human rights stuff, the vote to give it to Qatar was tainted. It was later found out everyone got bribed to vote for Qatar. Some of the FIFA people even went to prison on corruption charges

Not exactly. Russia did a mass slaughter of all stray dogs, which moved well into inhumane territory.
