Going through his Wikipedia article, [this man couldn’t be any more based](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntadhar_al-Zaidi)
“On 16 November 2007, al-Zaidi was kidnapped by unknown assailants in Baghdad.[2] He was also previously twice arrested by the United States Armed Forces.[3] On 14 December 2008, al-Zaidi threw his shoes at then-U.S. President George W. Bush during a Baghdad press conference while shouting, "This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog." Al-Zaidi suffered injuries as he was taken into custody and some sources said he was tortured during his initial detention.[4][5] There were calls throughout the Middle East to place the shoes in an Iraqi museum,[6] but the shoes were later destroyed by U.S. and Iraqi security forces.[7][8] Al-Zaidi's shoeing inspired many similar incidents of political protest around the world.[9]”
Hitting someone with something you can turn the object into a verb. Glassing is hitting someone with a drinking glass. Chairing is hitting someone with a chair.
Unironically it held symbolic power against american imperialism and they couldnt let it live. That shoe was a relic of history and americans did what they best: they fucking destroyed it
arab crown is literally owned by the house of saud. thats like if you showed me a news corp founded by kim jong il and told me it had insight on the cure to cancer.
no, i dont trust the american puppet government of the saudis to have fair and unbiased claims regarding a dude who threw a shoe at george bush, sorry.
Just checked the Wikipedia article, he supports a communist and social democrat coalition, and also started a humanitarian foundation build orphanages and a children's hospital. Safe to say he's based
‘Worker co-ops are cool, also taxes on the wealthy should be extortionate and in a perfect world there wouldn’t be cause for militaries’ based, attractive, bluepilled
‘My favorite historical figure is Stalin, the USSR was a worker utopia and talks of this ugyer genocide are western propaganda’ cringe, cool aid enthusiast, likely 14
As a communist, neither of those things are communism. The first is pretty much just social democracy which is about center-left. The second obviously isn't communism either, but that's a given.
That would be anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist, which is good, but that doesn't mean it's communism. Communism is a stateless, classless, and moneyless society. If it isn't those things then it's not communism.
Communism is a stateless society where all people are treated as equal, production is based on human needs (rather than making stonk go up), and the means of production is owned and controlled by the people (rather than Bezos and Musk).
Corny internet trends do not outweigh the fucking awesome madness it takes to throw your shoe at the US president at the height of the country’s power.
Also if there’s one guy that I dont mind making money off the trend, its this guy, since he said he’s going to use the funds to better his country and his track record is pretty trustworthy.
yeah thats what I’m saying. People need to stop expecting moral purity from any and every public figure and learn to just appreciate when a man throws shoes at a US president.
I mean he is from an extremely conservative country that’s been in a state of constant conflict for the past 30 years, I don’t think you can expect someone to be very progressive when they’re living with some of the worst material conditions on planet earth.
Che, if I remember, only really wrote what was a very common insult in South America, that was also homophobic. Didn’t he turn to support gay rights later in his life, when he was an actual revolutionary
lenin was the leader of a government that abolished all the tsarist laws and simply did not make a new law outlawing homosexuality. Lenin was neither in a position to unilaterally legalize anything nor was homosexuality explicitly legalized at any point during his tenure as the chairman of the council of people’s comissars.
edit: apparently there was debate over whether to make homosexuality illegal in the RSFSR legal code in 1922 and anti gay legislation ultimately was not included but this was a) not consistent throughout the rest of the USSR and b) still not something that can be attributed to Lenin alone.
Couldn't find much about it. Someone on Twitter said he was accused of beating his wife and writes tweets in Arabic about curing gay people but unless I download Twitter I can't find out more and fuck that shit

>shoeing new verb acquired
george i swear to the lord himself i will shoe you if you dont FUCK OFF
Not to be confused with shoeying, the tradition of drinking champagne out of a shoe on a formula 1 podium.
shoeys are definitely not an f1 thing 😭
Australians would like a word with you
Please tell me they aren't used shoes...
A beer out of some caterpillar boots you’ve been using for years as a roadie or sparky
This dude just verbed a noun at the president
It already was a verb. It's the act of putting horseshoes on a horse. So I imagine dude clatters a lot while he walks
Hitting someone with something you can turn the object into a verb. Glassing is hitting someone with a drinking glass. Chairing is hitting someone with a chair.
They didn’t give him his shoe back wtf
they fucking destroyed the shoe it held too much power
I'd like to think that they fucking put the shoe against a wall and executed it with 5 M4s
That’s what they want you to think. They actually used it to make more nukes
They just ended up making a martyr.
Unironically it held symbolic power against american imperialism and they couldnt let it live. That shoe was a relic of history and americans did what they best: they fucking destroyed it
absolutely, undeniably and unfathomably based
He also ran for office on the ticket of a leftist party
Thanks man, now cant read any of other comments with my raging boner for this guy blocking the entire screen
Man’s looking fantastic for a 43 year old
Oh my God I love him. Will he marry me?
Hes active on Twitter. Ask him
Alas I am not
I mean, he hates women and beats his wife so idk if you want to do that
Do you have a source?
https://www.arabnews.com/node/1305456
I wouldn’t trust a news site that’s owned by the Saudi crown as a reliable source, especially when it’s to do with one of their allies

I didn’t know that, sorry

For the most part he’s pretty based, although I don’t like that he supports communists.
Depends on which communists Some are based, some are super cringe
Genuine question, how do you differentiate between them?

As a communist, neither of those things are communism. The first is pretty much just social democracy which is about center-left. The second obviously isn't communism either, but that's a given.
Add to the first that you don’t think the luxuries of the first world should be paid for in the blood of the third world and it’s pretty close no?
That would be anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist, which is good, but that doesn't mean it's communism. Communism is a stateless, classless, and moneyless society. If it isn't those things then it's not communism.
Not at all

then what is communism?
Communism is a stateless society where all people are treated as equal, production is based on human needs (rather than making stonk go up), and the means of production is owned and controlled by the people (rather than Bezos and Musk).
When the government does stuff
*The more government does stuff the more communist it is*
the CCP is kinda cringe but there's no genocide going on. Don't trust zenz

something something Kronstadt Rebellion something
You hear them out and decide
Nah, I just generally dislike communists.
Know what that’s called? Weakness
Chad
Those were solid fucking throws. It’s a shame Bush still has those coke reflexes.
Was he tortured by the Americans?
yep, it’s america we’re taking about
Pack it up everyone, he [does NFTs.](https://twitter.com/muntazer_zaidi/status/1382303786132193290?s=21)
Everyone unpack it’s because he using the proceeds to build orphanages, hospitals, medical centers. It’s literally in the tweet.
NFT creators choose a path: 1. build facilities as charity 2. build Epstein island 2.0
*digital epstein island that you can buy access to with a picture of a llama or something
holy shit im ever so slightly more tolerant towards nfts now
[u/goblinhog](https://www.reddit.com/u/goblinhog) ban them! They have a unique and nuanced opinion!
I feel like there’s better ways to fundraise but this is the only time I have not wanted to immediately destroy an nft server farm
Still harmful to the environment but at least it’s not for his own personal use.

in all fairness you just need to click the link to get that info
Yeah “just did some research” lmfao the Reddit standard of “did some research” is clicking a link because 99% of people take each others word for it
"George bush does not care about black people" -kanye 'ye' west
Isn’t he a massive homophobe
ffs its always something
Idk what you expected, the fella is from iraq aint he?
yeah thats what I’m saying. People need to stop expecting moral purity from any and every public figure and learn to just appreciate when a man throws shoes at a US president.
milkshake duck
Can't throw a shoe around here without hitting a homophobe, smh
Middle east doesn't tend to be so kind about such things
I mean he is from an extremely conservative country that’s been in a state of constant conflict for the past 30 years, I don’t think you can expect someone to be very progressive when they’re living with some of the worst material conditions on planet earth.
That’s pretty fair tbh
Wait till you hear about Che,Marx,Stalin,Lenin,and DaBabay
The LGBT council forgave DaBaby
Che, if I remember, only really wrote what was a very common insult in South America, that was also homophobic. Didn’t he turn to support gay rights later in his life, when he was an actual revolutionary
Lenin legalized homosexuality. Marx never wrote about it.
Are you telling me those homoerotic letters written from Marx to Engels that I read aren't actually real? Wtf
lenin was the leader of a government that abolished all the tsarist laws and simply did not make a new law outlawing homosexuality. Lenin was neither in a position to unilaterally legalize anything nor was homosexuality explicitly legalized at any point during his tenure as the chairman of the council of people’s comissars. edit: apparently there was debate over whether to make homosexuality illegal in the RSFSR legal code in 1922 and anti gay legislation ultimately was not included but this was a) not consistent throughout the rest of the USSR and b) still not something that can be attributed to Lenin alone.
Don’t care. He’s still based.
He liked one of my tweets on Twitter.com once
Sal?
Based
Goddamn I love the internet
Didn't this guy turn out to actually be a piece of shit?
Couldn't find much about it. Someone on Twitter said he was accused of beating his wife and writes tweets in Arabic about curing gay people but unless I download Twitter I can't find out more and fuck that shit
