Logic or Halay?
A sentence from the textbook:
“Logic takes you from point A to point B.
Halay everywhere.”
- Mahmut Tuncer
Sometimes a single sentence says more than pages of analysis.
It is hard to find a better summation of the state of our education system and even our politics today.
This is exactly what happens when spectacle, perception and the reflex to save the day prevail in areas where logic, science and reason should be the guides.
A drift that extends from education to politics...
What is wrong in politics today is not just bad decisions.
It is also part of a communication strategy that plays with voter perceptions and resembles psychological warfare techniques.
The direction of the debate is constantly being changed.
The agenda is constantly being shifted.
Yes...
Politics is really polluted.
Because of vested interests, self-interest and the love of seats.
You know that happy minority in politics...
That structure is now moving towards its end.
But as he leaves, he seems to be preparing to send the country off with the famous ballad of those who are leaving.
For nearly two and a half years, the country's agenda has been strangely locked on a single point:
Ekrem Imamoglu.
As if the main agenda of politics is not the country's economic problems...
As if there is no inflation.
As if there is no unemployment, no livelihood problems, no rent crisis...
Every debate comes full circle
What Ekrem Imamoglu did
or
It depends on what Özgür Özel cannot do.
However, the real agenda of this country is very different.
People have a livelihood problem.
Tradesmen are struggling to survive.
The civil servant's salary is eroding.
Pensioners are fighting for survival.
And most importantly...
There is a section that has been left to be forgotten:
People.
I mean you...
I am...
Those of us who are trying to live in this country.
Looking at the picture ahead, it seems that the processes running through the trials will remain at the center of politics for at least two more years.
Agenda management, court proceedings and perception operations will be used to prolong this process.
But this is not the way things should be.
The fate of a country;
prolonged court processes to protect the government's comfort zone,
to the files held on the opposition
and should not be sacrificed to the pamphlets kept on the shelves of the Parliament.
As justice is delayed, trust erodes.
As trust erodes, the state weakens.
So what needs to be done is actually very simple but vital:
The trial must be quick.
It must be transparent.
And it should be equal for everyone.
Only then can trust be restored in society.
Because where logic is lost, politics turns into a hala.
But a country...
It cannot be ruled by an aunt.
