We are now the 2nd world countries

Life in the stable middle eastern countries has made me realize that we are living in caves comparatively.

Western society peaked in 1950's Detroit.

Dubai for comparison:

It's not our fault they keep knocking ours down.

The West stopped with their penis towers because they serve no purpose. They are all designed by Western architects and built by Indian slave labor, anyway.

It's mostly just Dubai constantly building more and wasting all their Oil money.

In 2040 or so when their oil dries up, Saudi Arabia takes them over, and/or the 1st world all goes full renewable/electric/solar, Dubai will become a much more spectacular looking version of Detroit, or possibly artistic direction for Crysis 4.

>yfw building a skyscraper any bigger than that is impossible because anyone on the upper floors will succumb to oxygen starvation from the altitude

Dubai's economy is only 1% reliant on oil.

>The West stopped with their penis towers because they serve no purpose.
The West stopped building anything. We're pretty fucked.

So what happens to the middle-east when the oil runs out?

Africa 2.0?

Wow impressive list of cities that I never want to live in

Can y'all stop using the terms 1st, 2nd, and 3rd worlds incorrectly. Ty.

There is no correct way.
Unless you mean referring to countries that were aligned with NATO or Comintern.

RETARD OF THE DAY

...

That Saudi clock tower makes Atlantic City look classy. Holy fuck is that shit tacky

Except for now it's nearly a quarter real estate, which is always unstable and highly prone to creating a bubble, and the rest of the UAE is still heavily reliant on oil and gas, like 80-90% of the economy. And the UAE has had to bail out Dubai before. What happens when the real estate bubble bursts?

you cant be second world if you never stopped being a socialist shithole, leaf poster

4/10

Pointless dick waving contest. Having parks and bikeways are the new scyscrapers

doesn't dubai not even have a functioning sewerage system?

FPBP

They have a sewage system, the postal system is non-existant though, they dont have numbers or proper streets

Exactly. Pissing contests don't prove anything. I hope jihadists fly a plane into the tower in Dubai.

Wow such pious and charitable Muslims using their material wealth for good deeds. I am sure this will benefit their brothers and sisters fleeing death and destruction in Syria or economic stagnation in Africa.

Have you ever heard of the Tower of Babel?

Looks like Big Ben had a baby with some Las Vegas hotel build by Sauron.

Their buildings might look nice but their people are still the ripe color of shit

wow such tech savyy
raely maed me thenks

You're correct. The towers mean nothing for economic indicators, are tacky to look at, literally are symbols of massive hubris. Just hideous monuments to money. Nothing more.

Calm yourself. What is the matter?

you two are cute together.

9/11 showed the shortcomings of dickwaving contests using buildings.

k video
fps
yeah fuck that shit

kek

>yfw building a wall on the mexican border is impossible because (((engineers))) said so

Yea totally, building massive towers means anything about civilization...dumb leaf

dubai is floated on oil,it will bankrupt over night if the states buy elsewhere or invent some green energy shit

the west will prevail!

I'm sure the West could be great again if we got rid of all the third world trash and the intelligentsia. Also, having a tiny country rich in oil and banking understandably makes for a nicer city than a giant nation. I'm sure their culture is rather barbaric as well.

Looks nice though. Must be good to be the elite.

>energy efficiency serves no purpose

Go back to Africa, nigger.

>tall buildings mean better societies
The day of the rake cannot come soon enough

Dubai went broke years ago and was bought out by Abu Dhabi, and a couple other emirates

good quality bait. prime cut bait.

how the fuck was this made
