    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.

      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.

        In fairness, this is Not The unserious community 😀

        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.

          Erdogan is perfectly capable of denigrating himselfеlf, he’s a grown boy who says stupid things all the time, like saying he’s going to invade Israel. I have to admit I’d like to see the bastard try now :D

      Mesut Özil! I’d never have you down for being this good at English! You’re using an AI, right?
