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.
In Utah, it's the traditional greeting with which you start any municipal proceedings!
Thank Mormon Jesus I moved.

Here is a picture of Erdogan falling off a horse and then getting kicked in the dick by said horse.
haha, "and he was never the same again..."
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.

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.
There are rumours that Hitler had just one ball and did everything he did just to compensate. If that's true, what can we expect from Erdogan now?

I like that horse
That poor horse is glue now
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

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.

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.

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.
In EU it needs to be as easy to reject cookies as it is to accept. Having to scroll to the bottom makes it much more annoying so I don’t think it’s legal. What can we do about it anyways?

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.
It has much to do with deep rooted family culture and sexism, the man is stronk, the man do stuff, the man pays, the man hits. Other men look at political stronk man and say, There, look, a Stronk man!

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
Posts like this showed up before too. He's an unlikable dictator. It just so happens that he recently threatened Israel, so you noticed this more.

Welp this did it. I'm going to need you to go turn in your Arab card down at the Department of Arabic and Islamic Civilizations. Otherwise we're gonna have to send Akbar and Ahmed over.

I will praise anyone who slaps him in retribution.
That was ... weird.
