President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan slapped a child who did not kiss his hand. In Turkey, it is customary to kiss …
Nothing screams "RESPECT!" as loud as the fear of physical violence.
Here is a picture of Erdogan falling off a horse and then getting kicked in the dick by said horse.
I like that horse
That website had a huge list to scroll down to opt out of cookies. At the very bottom was a highlighted button to toggle everything on and undo all your hard work.
But I'm sure everything else they do is trustworthy.
All for a 2 paragraph article, i spent longer unchecking the fucking boxes
I have my client (voyager) set to default to reader mode, so I didn’t even see any cookie options. Does this mean I accepted them all or none or what?!
Reader mode kinda just leaves the cookie popup in limbo. The website is still waiting for you to answer.
Same as not accepting I guess.You can text this by toggling reading mode on/off and the pop-up will appear*edit: I dunno if it just replaced the cookies now that I think about it....
No problems with AdAway.
have you tried consent-o-matic? Admittedly, it didn't work on that site, but it works like a charm on > 90 % of sites I visit.
This is a good way to have that kid growing up disrespecting authority in general.
We can only hope. A healthy wariness of authority is never a bad thing.
That's not how it works. If the society tells him that he wrong and rightfully punished, kid will likely just accept that reality.
Edit: what the? Why am I downvoted? I suppose you guys haven't lived in middle-eastern countries.
The only thing my ultra-conservative father and grandfather managed to do to me was to never ever let them anywhere near their grandchildren.
I also might've let my father know how it feels to get thrown through a bookshelf by someone a lot stronger when I got old enough to do so. Suddenly he was a lot less enthusiastic about physical violence. I wonder why. He still managed to fuck up my spine for life when he did the same to me - when I was 12. Took me 6 years and a lot of physio but he'll never hurt anyone else ever again.
I think some of the downvotes might be from people that want it to not be true. I would also like beaten kids to rebel and break the cycle. That doesn't necessarily mean people don't understand your point. Some of them have a different experience (they did rebel), some of them agree with you but want the reality to be different and a downvote is a way to express that, and some of them have motivations I can't even imagine, I guess :)
The cookie selections and the general cookie rejection process of this site is ridiculous
That's the first thing I was going to mention. I just closed the page without reading the article.
Same, it was a pointless endeavor.
It does at least seem to follow the law, even if it does do the old "Toggle it all and go fuck yourself" button at the end.
The early ones had it all on by default. The Tumbler one was a sight to behold as you toggled off all their 1000 trusted data partners.
Funny, the more I learn about right wing political strongmen and dictators the even less I like them, in fact, I strongly feel disliking.
They are the ultimate posers, every single one of them. They can't take the slightest appearance of criticism, even if it is coming from an old lady or a child but act #sobrave and #galaxybrain because they think that ignoring rules that make our society function makes them all powerful.
We just went through a global fucking pandemic. Maybe get rid of the idiotic traditions that contributed to the spread of disease.
Do you think we should get rid of shaking hands as a greeting?
Yes. Fist bumps work just fine.
Absolutely. Double finger guns is the way.
Erdogan threatens Israel
Posts like this about Erdogan starts showing up
In fear of losing my Arab card, I don't want to defend him, but it is suspicious
yes, I'm hasbara, you got me.
PS: but ok, I sourced this from an odd newspiece somewhere on worldnews on reddit, I can't prove you're wrong, but if he did it in the last few days, it is not just a media campaign, it coincided.
Well, I posted here a ridiculous story about angry far right protesters storming military bases in Israel for daring to punish soldiers for rape and the story got summarily removed for not being oniony enough, so I start to understand your suspicions.
it all makes sense why trump loves erdogan
that's the equanimity you expect from a head of state these days :/
I love how this is front page news while the fact that Turkey is a totalitarian dictatorship, openly committing war crimes is a topic about as well-covered by the US mainsteam media as Isreal committing a genocide.
It reminds me that if a ruler is brutal enough, eliminating ALL of their enemies, they are free to rewrite history.
Israel's attacks on Palestinian civilians are in the mainstream news every day bro
Edit: Here are just a few from the top of the news this morning:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-airstrike-gaza-deir-al-balah-girls-school-hospital/
Bro.....I live in the US where even the headlines from the NYT are heavily editorialized to act as pro-Israel propaganda. They might report Isreal attacking Palestinians but they'll make sure to reword any (war crimes) violence inflicted (bombing refugee camps and actual, working hospitals) by Israel forces as "defense" and any violence perpetrated by Palestian-friendly forces as "terrorist attacks".
Slap him back.
If you can't reach his face, then it's nutz slappers.
How can she slap!
Get your filthy reddit reference out of here
How can she slap is a video that had its own viral success without the other site.
I will praise anyone who slaps him in retribution.
That was ... weird.
eww. I can spit on it if you want the saliva.
Oh, missed Rize in the title. Basically my ancestral homeland occupied by Turks.
I don't have stats on how many times his hand was refused that kiss in which area, but I'm proud preventively.
ERDOGAN BAD HURR DURR
Such a great comment section as always. Sometimes I genuinely feel (or rather hope) that most people commenting are 14 years old or younger, but I know they're probably not.
Not that anyone not hyper-propagandized needed to see the obvious reality of this "infamous" slap for themselves, but it says a lot that no one even bothered to look it up before circlejerking to this article which was written exactly for the great minds that would fall for it. I picked a BILD link for you because you share the same level of intelligence with their audience.
Is it impossible to disagree, oppose, hate, or even fight people, without falling for propaganda-produced stereotype-infused cartoonish characterizations relayed via such silly stories?
And the best part is the complete lack of self-awareness among those circlejerking themselves to these stories.
That Israel is anti-Erdogan now angel was quite the addition to the collective retardation though. lmao.
It was a gentle slap, but it was a slap. Most of us get through the day without slapping kids who we think are cheeky. Mr Erdogan clearly thinks he's way too important to keep his hands off other people's kids. He could have just told the kid what he was supposed to do, but he just lashed out. Guy needs to take his self importance down a peg or two. It was undignified and shows he doesn't have any self moderation. Surrounded by people who always say yes to him no matter what he says, I reckon. He loses respect if he can't deal with other people in a calm and sane manner. Which other world leaders slap children? None of them. This brings shame on Turkiye because their president can't moderate his behaviour. The little kid showed more emotional maturity and self control in public than Mr Erdogan.
Can't tell if jerk. 10/10 comment.
There are better ways to inform people and correct the record if you think that this is propaganda than coming out the gate insulting everyone and being belligerent
In fairness, given that this is a small unserious community with the objective of making fun of things, I didn't expect this much of a response, that was a bit odd, but neither did I expect an inflamed comment like yours. Chill out, dude, you can post too about other things, you know. Why get so egregiously offended?
And if there is indeed a campaign by Israel to denigrate Erdogan...this post would just be an infinitesimal proportion of it. Just go on reddit and find lots more in more serious communities and discussions of Erdogan, it's all there... 🙃 and you can find the same making fun of Xi, putin, Biden, Trump, Orban, Zelensky, Modi and lots of other sacred cows.
“Sacred cows” got a chortle out of me
In fairness, given that this is a small unserious community with the objective of making fun of things, I didn't expect this much of a response
In fairness, this is Not The unserious community 😀
And if there is indeed a campaign by Israel to denigrate Erdogan
I was laughing at that notion. Erdogan only started to get loud (only verbals, no actions) against Israel after losing some local elections due to Turkey providing materialistic (actual actions) support for Israel, mainly through one of the ports in the Mediterranean. Israel is happy to play along of course since they are used to this (it happened before). The same goes for some "Arab" states (all British-made client feudalisms) who provide support through land (The gulf => Jordan => Israel) to break the partial blockage in the Red Sea.
Mesut Özil! I’d never have you down for being this good at English! You’re using an AI, right?
I wonder what kind of parents that kid has
Normal, a child shouldn't be forced to kiss elders.
Y'all want to make this your thing you stew over this Wednesday?
Like I get it. Backwards culture and shit but man it must be a slow news day.
Look, I posted this casually to make fun of it...and it got upvoted way more than I expected. End of story. Post what you want to see, I guess, instead of yelling at a cloud.
having (another) bad day?
