They Are ALL Nazis!
Before some witless dolt throws the Godwin Law at me for this post….I say read it then make your goddamn comment.
It appears that Turkey’s dictator has news for the world but especially Europe
The Turkish president lashed out at criticisms against him and his government’s actions on Wednesday, calling Europe the “real Nazis.” He warned European leaders to abandon their double standards or risk losing Turkey.
“Without any shame, ignoring their own blood-stained hands and without considering their own callous hearts, they draw comparisons between us and the Nazis,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a business conference in Istanbul. “If there are any Nazis, it is you who are the Nazis.
“The Nazi mentality emerged in the West, not the East. It was our ancestors who reached out and saved the lives of those they chased away,” he said. “It can only be a result of delirium to compare Turkey to the Nazis, when neo Nazism is at a peak in Europe.”
This douche is a piece of work……so according to him, Erdogan, this is what Europe looks like……
hahahaha! I love this map! Looks like indeed the Nazi’s conquered the world. I guess I can kick back now. 🙂
It does make the point, huh? chuq
Britain Tea Drinking Nazis – funny. But not so funny for their empire of subjects. I have often taken issue on the glorification of Churchill by US. Oh of course key to winning WW II but his “British Empire this” and “British Empire that”, he was a Nazi with respect to his amoral colonialism and imperialism in subjugation of millions of people. At least the Germans and Japanese did break the strangle hold by European powers over much of the world. .
I agree about Churchill and also the statement about colonialism….good observation….chuq
The map graphic is very amusing. Turkey is not so amusing though. They may well have completely scuppered their EU application for good now!
Best wishes, Pete.
Erdogan thinks he is the new Ataturk….he wishes….he is nothing but a dictator….chuq
He’s going to ruin their tourist industry too. Pretty much their best asset.
That and American bases like Incrilik….it is called “crapping in your chili”…LOL chuq
I keep trying to point out one simple fact about humans, which very few people seem to find palatable (reality doesn’t care one way or another, but, I do…), to wit: as soon as one applies a label (Nazi, imperialist, nationalist, or any other defining one as part of any group, as opposed to any other group), any ‘connection’ to that person is devalued, and forgotten, in the eternal game humans play, of ‘Us vs.Them’. This, naturally, dumps a big ol’ pile of crap right into that pot of chili….
SIGH… Until people give up nationalism, or socialism, or any other kind of ‘ism’, & learn to just identify with LIFE, and being human, then, conflict will happen, as nobody who is part of “Us” wants to be considered as one of “Them”….
I guess humans just like their conflict; they don’t seem to like to do those things which lead to understanding each other, rather than fighting each other….
gigoid, the dubious
It is human nature and surprising I will write about that a little later….chuq
