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?

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.

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

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.

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!
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.

We just went through a global fucking pandemic. Maybe get rid of the idiotic traditions that contributed to the spread of disease.

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 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".
You say "even the headlines from the NYT" like the NYT is representative of the whole of the US news media, which it is not. The NYT has been skewing conservative for some time now
I mention the NYT because they are ubiquitous. They are literally called, "the paper of record" in the US because they are the most well-respected news organization here by many (not me but many). I could point to THOUSANDS of other US papers and news organizations presenting even more egregious propaganda as well if you need.
Are you seriously trying to defend the batshit-crazy notion that the US mainsteam media ISN'T biased in Israel's favour?

Slap him back.
If you can't reach his face, then it's nutz slappers.
I will praise anyone who slaps him in retribution.
That was ... weird.
