Kurtofan posted:do turkish people really believe their presidents poo poo yes, even people supporting the opposing party, when it comes to the Kurds (more so, even, for the secular Kemalists). there are also a lot of Turks online, always have been (see Internet Mahir). combined with near constant propaganda of nationalism and religion, and you get a population that’s stupid and insane (me) being a citizen of USA and turkey I am extremely ashamed and mad atm.

Dreylad posted:you're in the middle east thread and you don't understand sectarianism? I was raised Sunni in the Middle East. really doubt it would have bearing on my decisions re world politics had I adhered to it and introducing the idea is feeding into a racist narrative that suggests she can only form her positions based on the part of her identity that is being a Muslim woman.

it’s meant to be perceived as an absurd moon shot that only Erdogan could propose. a “crazy project” founded on a public-private partnership (build-operate-transfer) that enriches his cronies. these projects usually include stipulations that if the operation is insufficiently profitable to the company then the government has to pay them the difference. in practice you have toll bridges with huge fees that lead to nobody using them, BUT the government has to cover any lost revenues according to some bullshit projection.

Atrocious Joe posted:https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1391798961871237122?s=20 we aren’t building an ontology of the world and the things that matter; we’re grouping topics based on how people here generally want to discuss them, which is informed primarily by the English-language publications reporting on these regions. there is also some overlap, like in Egypt and Yemen, and actors in the Middle East regularly interfere in African affairs and maintain military, political , and commercial ties too (Turkey in Libya, Somalia, etc.). if all the topics were organized into trees of knowledge that are actually proportionate to other commonly understood measures of importance and worldwide relevance, like landmass, population, culture, etc., people here would not have the attention span to follow and post in such a heterogenous collection of topics.

Turkish can overlap with a pretty wide range of other ethnic identities, and certainly with political stances that oppose the national ideology in Turkey.

PawParole posted:sounding kinda like a gbs China poster mate everything in the post you quoted is fact. I am from Turkey and have been through its school system and know way too much about Ataturk and had a couple posters around the house until my 20s, and it’s not at all out of place for anyone to have several hanging in their homes. I and millions of other children are made to bleat out poems in the rain commemorating his death in November Most of us embrace it fully. I still feel sadness because as a child the things you were told about him made him seem like some kind of superhero who embodies all these virtues etc. will I ever replace this great man-shaped hole in my heart

Zedhe Khoja posted:beef mostly these days. mix of beef and lamb sometimes, like kofte. kebab is actually a fairly recent thing, the steam jacks were basically rotisserie’s, it would be a big goat haunch originally I’m sure. to this day, if you’re involved with the right family, they’ll send you some of the latest goat kill by airmail from Van. beef is pedestrian and boring next to lamb and goat. also in cheese.
