She's now the definition of a narcissist.

The emirate Dubai of the UAE, unlike other oil-funded regions in the middle east, is funded almost exclusively on tourism. Tourism is why Dubai exists in all its marble and glass glory. Tourists are funding their skyscrapers, but they're also funding their regime, and that's why they're so obsessed with keeping their borders open, even in the face of a global pandemic.

In the UAE it's legal to hit your wife, but illegal to be gay. Freedom of expression is non-existent and human rights groups are not allowed entry. Labourers are often treated as slaves. Women who report rape, often risk going to prison themselves for "having sex outside of marriage". And let's not forget Yemen.

Outsiders visiting Dubai hasn't seemed to have helped in the human rights department. That would have been the only good reason to visit, i my opinion. Instead, people like Dinara are funding a regime that imprisions gay people. You might as well just send Maktoum money on PayPal. Or maybe he should start his own Patreon like a certain someone.

What really bothers me is that she's playing this "woke" persona who cares about women's rights and she's voiced her concern about the Russian government. But here she is, in Dubai, just another influencer pretending as if she's not in an amusement park built on human rights violations. And she doesn't even question any of the criticism, like she's this perfect being incapable of wrongdoings. I'm so f*cking mad.

I was looking Dinara's travel footprint and from what she's shared on social media, she's been to 9 countries in the last 12 months (counting from March 2020 - March 2021) DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC WHERE TRAVEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE AS LIMITED AS POSSIBLE

She truly could not give less fucks.

Her calling all these governments authoritarian really confuses me... shes from Russia lol ...very authoritarian country. These so-called authoritarian governments like Taiwan are trying to protect the vulnerable and not let the situation get out of control. Most of them are suffering economically but are doing the measures for public health and safety reasons

Taiwan has just celebrated 200 days with no covid cases, so surely once you complete your quarantine life is pretty normal? Wouldn't that be better that the current UK restrictions? I guess she is living her life pretty much normally here anyway so it doesn't make a difference to her

Her latest story rant is insufferable. Her talk about how people approach issues from a “Eurocentric” point of view made me laugh.

There’s a difference between coming at an issue from a western/democratic perspective without acknowledging the history and culture of a place vs calling out racism/sexism/slave labour for what it is.

Also what “work” requires her to be in Dubai?! There’s a pandemic and unnecessary travel isn’t suddenly ok because you’re getting tested. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Not buying it.

I quickly plugged in those flights into a carbon emissions calculator - the emissions come to about 3.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide just from these journeys (this is probably conservative, assuming she travelled economy for every journey and assuming there weren't additional flights in between). For context, the average carbon emissions from flying in the UK is 400kg per year per person - and we're frequent fliers. And to put it into even more context, the total carbon footprint (not just including flights - everything) of the average person from Kenya is ~350kg per year.

But I'm sure Dinara and other Minerva students will be sure to lecture us all about overconsumption and the climate crisis.

Her latest stories about getting free coffee, I don't get how she doesn't see it is not about "manifesting good things" or whatever, it is that she is an attractive young woman and the man in the coffee shop is probably just bored. Hardly unusual to get free stuff in those circumstances. She may as well start using Jade's phrase of "casual magic"

On Dinara's story now where she's being called out about something, she says she's no longer going to waste time on people criticising her and focus on the ones who are on the same frequency as her who she "meets in person every day" 😅 Who are you meeting?? We're not supposed to be meeting all the time 😂 these influencers mannnn

“Nice Dinara is gone” sounds a lot like “you questioned my actions and I didn’t like that so I’m gonna quit treating you with respect” and sounds so gaslight-y????

Is this mumbo jumbo code for "I'm a selfish prick who cares more about the travel-goals lifestyle than being respectful and considerate of public safety guidelines"??? or am I interpreting it wrong🤪

Also when people choose "not to share their political opinions", yet mention them in passing a lot, you can usually assume they hold some unsavoury views, but choose not to publicise them for self-serving reasons ( like fear of backlash from their own followers *cough cough Dinara)

dinara received comments in the past about how she should have quarantined when she arrived to london but instead she went for walks, and went shopping like twice and she criticised those comments saying people were behaving like the police and they should stop messaging her...i'm 100% sure she received these sort of comments again now that she went to Scotland but instead she's not posting them because they would make her look bad🤬
also, she talks about how she doesn't want to be stressed by uni, how assignments shouldn't manage her life and stuff like that...she comes across (at least, in my honest opinion) as a very lazy person. tons of people on this website have one or maybe two part time jobs, study full time and run societies or have a bit of volunteer work to boost their future applications for graduate jobs. and what does dinara do? have a trip after another, postpone her deadlines with Minerva's magical 4 available extensions and don't worry about her actions
she's wasting her years at uni doing nothing while spending thousands of US dollars on education, and you know what? after all, she'll probably get a better paid job than most of us at a Silicon Valley big company linked to minerva, which makes me incredibly angry
I hate this attitude of "not policing" people, we are in the midst of a pandemic and if you are not following rules anyone who is following them has every right to criticise. We are all making sacrifices which are being undermined by people like her who are just prolonging this situation. She (and most other influencers) are just so selfish, what would it take for them to follow the rules? for themselves or someone they know ti get ill?

not a good look but not a total surprise.. tthat Taiwan commment is so odd, maybe we are somehow interpreting it wrong but it 100% sounds like she didn't want to go, which I think is very insulting to Taiwan tbh
Honestly I think Taiwan will be grateful that they won't be getting an influx of Minerva superspreaders in January.

Here's the post I was talking about before!
And with no surprises jade liked it:rolleyes:

This post and this kind of views in general make me think about that college humour sketch with a spoiled rich girl who doesn't need to work so she can travel all she wants and talks about it as a need, saying that everyone should do as she does!

damn she's repulsive. She's saying on her stories that she's not letting herself respond nicely to these judgements about her travel because she has high self worth.

So basically, "piss off unless you are going to talk about how pretty I am and how lucky I am and glorify my travel lifestyle"
Yuck yuck yuck.
She makes me wanna spew. I'd hate to know someone like her in real life.

Her followers bringing up how Homosexuality is illegal in the UAE on her picture of the beach in Dubai with the caption "Hello from paradise.🤍 pinch me!!!!", is not them being Eurocentric... it's to let you know that travel porn pictures are in super bad taste, both in context of the pandemic and also in terms of being a compassionate world citizen.

Why is she still in Aberdeen. Scotland's restrictions stated even before English lockdown that you shouldn't travel if it's not absolutely necessary. I moved to Scotland for my studies few months ago but still haven't seen my boyfriend who lives in England BC of the restrictions. I haven't seen him since January. Before I came here Aberdeen was in a lockdown BC of one superspreader. Dinara is exactly that type that would manage to make that happen again.

If she wants to keep travelling she needs to learn to respect the countries she goes into. Following their rules and laws is a damn good starting point.

This sounds bad but I hope she gets the virus just so she can face reality a bit. If anyone "deserves" it its people like her, people who are still travelling like nothing is wrong and putting others at risk.
