Since the Gezi Resistance, in almost every period of resistance, the most tiring and frustrating thing for patriots has been neither the disproportionate violence of law enforcement officers nor the threat of prosecution. To be fair to some of them, at least they participated in the protests. Afterwards, there were groups on social media who chewed the same gum. These were the “woke” culture spokespersons who repeated what they had memorized from three or five translation books without question at every meeting, making it impossible to get results. You know, the types who are eager to do permaculture in parks, who can't do anything without bringing up gender issues, who can't help but belittle the republic in some way... They are still everywhere! I could list many more of their fantasies, but these irrationalities are endless.
Another one is the members of the community who pretend to be ‘the most genuine revolutionaries’, who strive to be represented everywhere with their organization of 50 people... These people had the potential to talk nonsense at the Taksim Solidarity meetings with such a persistence that they were able to take the minds of even people who could use their minds, and they still are!
And then there are the self-proclaimed ecologists who come to initiatives such as ‘Either Canal or Istanbul’ and make every press statement endlessly ambiguous until everything they say is accepted... After a while, they also manage to divide the initiatives into two or three. It is these delusional ‘activists’ who prevent the numerical expansion of these initiatives and platforms every time... Nothing much has changed now, the only difference is that no one listens to them like before.
GERMANY IS THE LOOSE HOMELAND!
After making all these criticisms, it is important to add that these people are still valuable because they take part in the protests, even if they break the will to struggle of an ‘ordinary’ patriot and wear down their patience. They disappear for a while, but then they reappear.
However, there is a group that is incorrigible, shameless and ignorant of what is going on in the country, and we need the patience of a saint to tolerate them.
Many of them are in Germany, many of them chose to settle in that country years ago when there was no obstacle for them to return home, and some of them are now clawing for a political career in the Green Party, green on the outside and Nazi black on the inside. They sit at the keyboard in Berlin, Essen, Munich, drinking beer or ‘Lion's Milk’ in the evenings, either ranting like ‘super fearless revolutionaries’ or ‘woke woke’ with their nonsensical ‘awareness’ rhetoric!
And then there are the self-proclaimed Kurdish political spokespersons, who are divided into two; some are strained nationalists, some are radical democracy tinned...
‘THOSE WHO REJOICE WITH 'LION'S MILK'
Let me start with these ‘revolutionaries“, because they are the most brazen! They go and sit in a tavern, they start telling revolutionary tales from the time of Noah Noah, most of them shave half the time! And when someone plays the saz or a Ferhat Tunç song, they get carried away. They start with ”Would it be like this if it were us?‘ and then they rant and rant on their cell phones. From the ones quoting Lenin to the bully ’revolutionary' gossip, you name it!
These are the ones who prefer the songs from the 70s to today, and then there are the ’Europeanized‘, ’refined‘, ’greened‘, ’pinked up‘ versions of them. You know, the ones who hang out in the Grünen, Die Linke... Strangely enough, they have no problem with the Grünen's warmongering and being the sister party of the Ukronazis, but they accuse Bundis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) of racism. They are just that dull! Fortunately Die Linke seems to be coming to its senses a little bit these days, just a little bit! You don't hear much class talk from them, but they jump on all kinds of identity issues, which they have only half internalized. Without exception, they are obliged to be heard from Europe to Turkey!
SELF-PROCLAIMED ‘SEROK’
Let's talk about those who spew out statements on social media with the air of ‘Kurdish politician’... These are also of various kinds. Some of them have been living abroad for a long time, so they are a bit left behind, whether they are leftists, nationalists or a mix of the two, they leave a slurry of whatever. Some find the DEM Party passive and rant about it. Some have become Barzanites, almost beyond nationalists, but racists of the oppressed nation! There are also those who are Ikhwanists if you scrape the paint off. There were even some who burned henna while HTS terrorists were massacring Arab Alawites! Of course, what would Kurdish politics be without the pedants who try to dictate to Kurdish politics what it should do?... They are also in abundance!
And then there are those who curse the republic, enlightenment and Mustafa Kemal morning and night with the sauce of radical democracy, but only with sauce and hearsay. They are something like misguided quarter intellectuals. If they start a sentence without saying ‘fascist CHP’, something swells. This is a mass even more ignorant than the Woke culture memorizers...
KNOW YOURSELF IS IT THAT HARD?
Of course, whether in the UK, Germany or Australia, there are thousands of expat democrats who read, who try to understand, who do not claim that they ‘see everything much more clearly from afar than those living in Turkey’. They should take no offense.
As for what I am talking about... “Here you go, pasha, come to your country”... Insult me here if you want, but come and put your hand under the stone for the land you claim to be your country! Or go to a psychologist to be treated for megalomania. Relax, make peace with yourself, try to be honest with yourself! Look, you've tired me out, there's a march in the evening, I'm still going there... Then there are lawsuits, we're visiting the courts by the way... If I'm not clear; ‘Erkenne dich selbst’!
