A Harsh Text on the Land of Contradictions
I. REJECTION OF ARTIFICIAL DISTINCTIONS
“If you are leftist, you are irreligious.”
“If you are religious, you are right-wing.”
These two judgments are not the truth;
is the product of mental laziness.
Human beings cannot be reduced to a single identity.
Intellect is not an enemy of faith; faith is not an enemy of reason.
This manifesto is a manifesto that
rejects every understanding.
II. MENTAL OCCUPATION AND PERCEPTION ENGINEERING
In this country, ideas did not take shape naturally.
Perceptions were produced, stereotypes were imposed.
Society has been accustomed to being labeled, not to think.
Instead of the questioning individual, the ready answer carries memorization
the masses were wanted.
This is not a coincidence and there is a lot of room for manipulation
in the case of everyone!
III. THE COMMON DISEASE OF RIGHT AND LEFT
The right excluded the left. The left despised the right.
But they both made the same mistake:
Judging without understanding.
One side monopolized faith,
the other side thought they monopolized the mind.
Yet neither is faith the property of a group,
nor is reason the monopoly of an ideology.
IV. LABELING: THE EASIEST WAY OUT
Labeling is easy. Understanding is difficult.
That's why most people chose the easy option.
“This is who you are”, “I'm trying to understand you”
than to say, "I'm not a man!
But this convenience corrupts society.
Because human beings do not fit into labels.
V. THE FALSE WAR BETWEEN FAITH AND OPINION
One can be both a believer and a questioner.
A person can be both a worshipper and a seeker of justice.
Whoever denies this is defending his own mold, not the human being.
The one who despises those who pray, the one who questions faith
It is the same narrow minds that exclude...
VI. CLIMATE OF FEAR AND SOCIAL PRESSURE
People are still afraid in this country:
“To say ”I am a Muslim but I am leftist"...
“To say ”I am a nationalist but I question"...
This fear is not natural!
This fear, your judgmental gaze,
the product of stigmatizing languages...
VII. IDENTITY CRISIS AND CONSTITUTIONAL REALITY
The Republic of Turkey clearly defines it:
“Everyone bound by the bond of citizenship is a Turk.”
With such an inclusive framework
still divided by identity debates,
not consciousness, the drift is obvious!
Those who divide over identity cannot have a common future!
VIII. SELF-INTEREST, LACK OF PRINCIPLE AND HYPOCRISY
The principled stand firm.
Whoever has a vested interest changes direction.
He who shouts today will be silent tomorrow.
Whoever defends today will sell tomorrow.
This is the biggest contradiction of the order,
Normalization of unprincipledness!
IX. THE REALITY OF THE LANTERN: ECHO CHAMBERS
Everyone is right in their own neighborhood. Everyone is right in their own
applauded by the masses. But truth is not measured by applause.
He who lives in his mortar thinks his echo is real.
This manifesto is not a call to echo, but to truth.
X. JUDGMENT OF HISTORY
History does not write about those who take refuge in molds.
History remembers those who crossed borders.
Those who take sides without thinking are forgotten over time.
But those who question, leave a mark.
XI. FINAL NOTICE
Not every fish is a piranha. Not every leaper is saved.
He who acts before his time is always prey.
Haste is often disastrous.
XII. END WORD
Reality:
It is neither the monopoly of the right nor the left.
The truth is too big to fit into narrow molds!
And here is the biggest contradiction!
When one judges another
does not see its own limits.
In this regard, I sincerely congratulate your Eid al-Fitr, which we will realize tomorrow, with the hope that it will bring enlightenment to our country in this manner, and I wish you health and prosperity.
