Nothing screams "RESPECT!" as loud as the fear of physical violence.

    Kissing the hand of an elder is a traditional sign of respect in Turkey - notes the Duvar portal.

    That is fair (although weird). Now lets talk about slapping children in the face and giving them money for kissing you!

    Slapping children in the face is traditionally considered disrespectful in many cultures.

    Here is a picture of Erdogan falling off a horse and then getting kicked in the dick by said horse.

    Actually if something like that did permanent physical damage, to someone already in that mindset, that could have serious psychological consequences. When was this, has he behaved notably worse since?

    after a little googling, I found the video on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/6gadar/turkish_president_erdogan_falling_off_a_horse/

    It was posted 7 years ago and by then it was said that it was 10 years old, so 17 years ago...that would place this ball-busting incident in 2007, he only became presidont in 2014...idk...maybe it's his origin story (become president to censor the whole internet to hide his 3rd degree ball-trouncing event), like Trump's correspondents' dinner or Orban's being mocked by Juncker or putin's whole life since 1989.

    He was prime minister from 2003 to 2014 before initiating a constitutional referendum, creating a presidential system for him in 2014. Ball slapping happened 4 years into his prime minister government.

    I think it's safe to assume his nuts got so damaged he needed a ballectomy -- Erdogan has not had balls for over a decade.

    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.

    The cookie selections and the general cookie rejection process of this site is ridiculous

    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.

    Slap him back.

    If you can't reach his face, then it's nutz slappers.

    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
