Erdoğan slaps child for not kissing his hand - Lemmy.World

That wasn’t really a slap, that looked playful, it’s meaningless, like an uncle’s prank. Don’t know anything about the guy, but he just looks angry the entire video, not sure if people are overreacting here. Doesn’t seem like it was out of actual pure ego or something, is a little hard to tell if you don’t know the person
You are the dude. Nowadays ppl have zero common sense about human contact behaviour.
Because slapping kids for not kissing your hand is really emotionally mature?!
It’s not that. Western cityboys will never understand arabic culture.
Yeah, there are a lot of white people clutching pearls in here about non-white cultural norms.
I don’t think it’s abhorrent, I think it’s weak. How is he so insecure that he reacts this badly to a little kid? The kid responded rationally, the president responded like a toddler. Kids should learn not to just slap someone if they don’t get their way. Adults are supposed to be more in control of their emotions than that. It looks weak and insecure.
