I do think there are double standards, with Qatar receiving far more criticism than Russia, China and Saudi Arabia, which isn't really fair.
The tournament should never have been held in Qatar (for obvious political and infrastructural reasons), but now it is, people shouldn't be hated for doing a job they weren't criticised for doing in the last World Cup.
Those countries have also been smeared, vilified and demonised unlike England, France and so on because of the monopoly anglo-saxon/western media has. The fact you think this way shows how normalised it is in western societies, if only to build public consensus for wars and conflict. I've read comments suggesting that imperialism and colonialism is a thing of the past, or overblown, which is a shocking take to say the least.
Qatar deserve many of the criticisms they've received but the programming and narrative especially in the British media is truly nauseating. This whole thing is mostly political. No one or country is perfect, so there will always be something to magnify and demonise, just like how it is in real life. I think the West (especially Europe) is struggling to come to terms that their moral and political lectures are not gaining much traction these days.
If we breakdown the criticisms:
1. Corruption - It takes 2 hands to clap. The corruption is between Qataris and many Europeans in the West (not just FIFA). I'd be more concerned about the Western culture of allowing corruption to be commonplace, where liberal democracy is really just a facade for oligarchs and private donors to hijack the common people's interests.
2. Safety and treatment of low-skilled foreign workers - There was worldwide condemnation for this and I see that Qatar have begun to make improvements to this in terms of SOPs, laws and cultural mindsets. Europe taking the high-ground on this issue though, while continuously passing the buck and causing millions to flee their land due to wars, political interference, malevolent NGOs and looting of natural resources such as oil, gold and so on, is very hypocritical to say the least.
3. LGBT rights - Even in Western countries this is a hotly debated issue, where dissenters face the wrath of cancel culture and soft censorship. Leaders of many Asian countries would lose public support if they go along with this very divisive agenda, even if some are empathetic to the 1%. They also have no interest in tearing their society apart over a foreign, political agenda.
