Just Lmfao. So during this whole episode with Jamal Khashoggi, some on the left were championing Turkey as some sort of good guy. Turkey became a hero. Turns out, it’s still a dictatorship and although they aren’t killing journalists, jailing them is still stifling the press.

What do leftists do now????

LOL, WTF does this have to do with leftists? The right wing religious authoritarian leader of Turkey had someone thrown in prison for insulting him. Aspiring autocrat Trump praises "strong leaders" like this and wishes he had the same sort of power.

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

Before I do something I think to myself "would a dictator do that thing?"

If the answer is yes, I sometimes do that thing anyway. Because fuck it.

Why do "some on the left" have to do anything about this? WTF does Turkey have to do with American citizens and their politics?

 

[spin]

So TS drops a point about Leftists with no evidence, and never returns to the thread.

Dump.



And at some point, it's time to start carding people for trolling.

Erdogan is a piece of shit

Turkey heading back into the dark ages

No, no, you don’t understand. Leftists criticized the murder of Khashoggi by the Saudi royal family. Turkey exposed these crimes. Trump is buddies with Saudi Arabia and defended them at first, then he criticized their amateur methods.

This leads to the enevitable conclusion that leftists love Erdogan.

What do the leftists do? Act like an non duality projecting idiot and hate both dictatorial regimes. Dipshit.

The journo shouldn't have called Erdogan 'dictator,' he should have called him 'dog.' That's his name, amirite?
