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 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?
… Goering has both but very small, Himmler has something simmler, but poor Goebbels has no bels at all …
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.
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.
At the very least if there was physical trauma, the mental trauma from it going untreated could definitely lead to trying to compensate for how he feels about it by “trying to be more manly” to prove it didn’t affect him…
That poor horse is glue now
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.

This is a good way to have that kid growing up disrespecting authority in general.
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!
Yea, it’s Pleasantville all over again. I just thought we were over that, but ultraneoliberals have a way of fucking over people and making them lash out in predictable ways that sometimes they try to harness to impose their agenda. Then we fix it e.g. New Deal, WW2, EU…then we forget why we had those protections…liberalize everything again…and back to strongmen at the gates to save us from ourselves by enslaving us. It’s like every hundred years we need a mass human sacrifice to appease the gods of chaos and relearn how to keep societies balanced.
…then we forget why we had those protections…
… because of remembering why we had other protections which were torn down to make these protections …
That’s how this works. You go to God, get hit by lightning a few times, learn not to approach that guy, then by not approaching that guy get kinda close to Satan, get boiled in oil for some time by bald imps, run away, and at some point forget that there’s another danger, et cetera ad infinitum.
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.
Shouldve kicked him in the nuts
then the kid would go to max security prison
Kick him hard enough and erdogans genes die with him
Oh, I read it as “instead of slapping the kid”
Inane comment. He’s got three kids.
Kick harder then.
I thought slapping the kid was an insane reaction, damn, I didn’t know it was that bad
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
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.

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.
I will praise anyone who slaps him in retribution.
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.
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?
