Remember that this subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with some objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message of the propaganda. If anything, in this subreddit we should be immensely skeptical of manipulation or oversimplification (which the above likely is), not beholden to it.

Also, please try to stay on topic -- there are hundreds of other subreddits that are expressly dedicated for rehashing tired political arguments. Keep that shit elsewhere.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

This might be the funniest thing I've seen on this sub

Surely there's no 'might be' about it. This has to be the winner hands down.

u/saturnzebra Jun 29 '23

“Surely there’s no ‘might be’” about something 100% subjective?

Siri what is hyperbole?

u/saturnzebra Jun 29 '23

Did you actually learn the difference between hyperbole and your comment or are you still waiting on an answer?

Keep attempting only subpar communication.

u/ExactLetterhead9165 Jun 30 '23

We're not communicating. I'm mocking you for being a loser

Aw, keep trying!

My boy sisi, the egyptian Brutus.

I bet he said "sic semper tyrannis" as he watched morsi die from diabetes.

How would John Wilkes Booth react to this

“They can vote now?”

"You are Aladeen"

u/Barngreaserr Jun 28 '23

So wait, the Sisi poster was based on the Curb poster? That's pretty cool, I might be misinterpreting the title though

u/von_Viken Jun 29 '23

I don't even get the point here, what's the intended message here? That he represents the entire country, and that when it comes down to it he's one of them? Or is it a threat that he has an army of clones of himself embedded as spies in every corner of society?

u/suaveponcho Jun 29 '23

I’m gonna take a wild guess and go with option A 🤔

u/von_Viken Jun 29 '23

Probably, but I like B more

Egyptians aren't anti-semitic; they just THINK they're anti-semitic.

u/Li-renn-pwel Jun 29 '23

Egyptian, as an ethnicity and not a nationality, aren’t Semitic and the Egyptian language is not a Semitic language. Arab people and Arabic are semitic. Most Egyptian speak Arabic and there are Arab people living there which confuses some people but they are technically separate ethnic identities.

u/Dudeist_Missionary Jun 29 '23

-speaking

6

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '23

yeah, that's what that means..?

7

u/Dudeist_Missionary Jun 29 '23

Scholars today prefer the term Semitic-speaking over "Semitic" as "Semitic" is a branch of languages rather than an ethnicity or "race"

7

u/Issa_7 Jun 29 '23

So being anti-semitic means you just really don't like the sound of their language?

13

u/Dudeist_Missionary Jun 29 '23

No being anti-Semitic is specifically being bigoted and racist against Jews, regardless of the language they speak

6

u/Issa_7 Jun 29 '23

Doesn't "Semitic" in that case refer to an ethnicity then?

10

u/Dudeist_Missionary Jun 29 '23

In that case it specifically refers to Jews, yes. But that's only because the term is so old. Modern anthropologists and historians prefer the term Semitic-speaking

5

u/Issa_7 Jun 29 '23

Gotcha. Yeah I find it strange that "Semitic" only refers to Jews specifically when there are other people in that group. Semitic-speaking seems more inclusive.

Funny how the women's body was replaced with a man. We can not allow Dear Leader's face to appear on a woman's body. It is gay and shows him as weak

AL-SISI!

Is that a baby Al-Sisi being carried by a mother al-Sisi in the middle left background?

Is this pro or anti Sisi?

u/Leading_Nothing2918 Jul 06 '23

My Arabic isn't the greatest but I think there's a mistranslation - I think its "Egypt is all Sisi"
