LEGO being soft power is actually pretty awesome.

I think that for most grown adults, if you have them hold a box of Legos, feel its weight and hear the sound it makes when they shake it, it unlocks distant happy memories they forgot they had.
are the instructions in alien language?
The cost of LEGO is surely unsustainable based on the price of LEGO.
Either that, or LEGO is made from the people that create LEGO.

Smart idea, look how happy he is.
What do you get the dictator who already has an evil glowing orb?

Is the photo real?
yes. I don't think the egypt foreign minister is the one in the Trump photo though
That's his boss. General Sisi was Mubarak's second. He led a coup against the first democratically elected President and murdered him in jail. Egypt receives almost as much military aid as Israel, all to suppress their own people as an extension of the Israel occupation.
The longer you look at that globe, the worse it gets.
Why is Alaska a schlong?
A good glowing orb. And then a neutral glowing orb.
Ah, the found Woody Allen's orgasmatron device, what fun
Solid Epstein connection.
That's actually the Express of King Salman shitting himself, not cumming. They should have read the manual.
What a nice breath of fresh air. Goes to show that this is possible and preferable. Fuck trump and his gestapo regime.
Sweet summer child. Does the propaganda make you feel all cozy and warm?
God forbid we start spreading propaganda like "people being nice to each other" that would be a real shame.
... Are you angry that 2 countries who are not in any kind of conflict are being friendly toward eachother on a diplomatic level?
It's a Lego kit dude. I'd be excited too. Its no different to if someone invited you to stay at theirs, you would get them a gift. And, this is a very normal one
if it was Trump, he'd probably gift them a picture of himself, or expect the other party to give him a gold trophy or some bs like that.
Trump would expect the lego bricks to be pure gold.
This is a man who likes to play with his grandchildren.
Dude can't wait to get it home and build it up
Won't he have to contact the aliens to do it for him?
This would be funnier if Egypt was a democracy and not a horrifying dictatorship
Wait, when'd they become a dictatorship??
Edit: 2013?? How am I so far behind the times on this one?
Mubarak had been dominating the county since the 1980s. The 2011 to 2013 period was a brief period of not-dictatorship
I'm an Egyptian, and 2011-13 was 110% a dictatorship. We've always been under one, just different people in different ways
Morsi was elected, no?
So were Trumpp, Putin and Erdogan, no?
Morsi never had a chance to a peaceful transfer of power before the military staged their coup.
Military didnt stage shit, the citizens fought almost day and night, dont speak down of all the lives of thoss young adults that died fighting for their freedom of walking the streets without being killed, having basic human rights, but saying oh the military launched an attack, yes they did, it was the right thing, doesnt mean a country being under military dictatorship is what we wanted either, just transfered from one shitty guy to another
Morsi won office in a popular election, lasted barely two years, and then was couped and imprisoned.
I wouldn't call that interm period a dictatorship, if for no other reason than it stood in stark contrast to the periods immediately before and after. There was no well-defined national leader. Bureaucrats were still shuffling around and rebuilding a power base, before settling on el-Sisi.
No no, sisi was also elected and wanted very much so by everyone, two things can be true at once. Yes, we did elect morsi, yes, we did elect sisi (first time atleast). No, both were and are fucking horrible in their own ways. One caused major major MAJOR unsafety, Egypt was a fucking warzone somtimes, the amount of citizens that died was insane due to islamic extremists, we're a muslim majority country yet get along perfectly with christians and have done so for so long, Morsi, well the man pulling the strings behind the scenes wasnt him.. morsi was just a facade of who the leader is, were a bunch of religious extremists that did what 95% of shitty people do, promise so much. Sisi has done the same, Egypt has always been under dictatorship and will remain so until people stop being so ignorant and desperate.
sisi was also elected
With 97 percent of the vote.
Yes? Whats your point? Both Morsi and Sisi were picked by the people, both times they were promised so much, both lied in their own ways.
Both Morsi and Sisi were picked by the people
:-|
Well, now I'm sad.
I mean I was wondering what types of people both politicians were anyway, but still.
Later that night he sat on the floor, in a onezy in front of his fireplace while his family, glowed in the enjoyment there young president had putting it together, until he fell asleep and his son carried him to bed.
But seriously love this
Not when it's a despotic regime.
The elected President was murdered in jail by this stooge's boss.
Men are men.
my dude, my sister has the biggest lego collection of anyone i've ever met. she collected most of it as an adult.
"I'm gonna make SO many slaves build this!"
Pyramids weren't built by slaves
They didn’t have much other option, so what do you call that other than justified slavery?
They were paid, and rather well. It was a work program, like Roosevelt's New Deal.
So… they were free to move elsewhere and use that money for luxuries? They could go get another job?
Because being paid doesn’t mean you’re free. Or is the only type of legitimate slave the typical American kind? It’s not black and white, there’s nuances here. If the black slaves in America were paid, it wouldn’t have been slavery….? Because that’s the logic that’s being used.
It really just sounds like you’re trying to justify not calling people who aren’t free slaves when they still were by every other metric.
It sounds like you don't know very much about how the pyramids were built, and aren't interested in learning the truth. The workers who built the Pyramids engaged in some of the first labor actions in recorded history--they went on strike, multiple times, and were successful in securing higher pay and better working conditions. Many of the workers who worked on the tombs of kings were highly respected craftsmen in their own right, who often were given permission to build their own tombs nearby; in many cases, only a little bit less grand than the tombs built for the pharoahs themselves.
The Ancient Egyptians definitely practiced slavery, and also, they didn't use slaves to build the pyramids. The slaves were doing things like growing food for the people who built the pyramids.
Maybe type a few words into Google before spouting uninformed bullshit like it's fact.
It's only half a pyramid. (short in German: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4UIQstnZ9lo )
People need a kit to make a pyramid out of Lego?
You can easily make a good pyramid from scratch, but this one is a Great Pyramid. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/great-pyramid-of-giza-21058
Lego is becoming the Disney of Europe. All cozy-looking while perpetuating and supporting evil.
