Dubai pretends to be a city that imitates capitalism countries around the world but in reality, they're so repressed.

Mostly facade, what you see outside is not what it is inside...

Not that I know better, but have seen how that kind of propaganda works

Haven't been there, not sure what the issue was with that incident... But the punishment was severe for not a really good reason...
