A Harsh Text on the Land of Contradictions<\/p>\n
I. REJECTION OF ARTIFICIAL DISTINCTIONS
\n\u201cIf you are leftist, you are irreligious.\u201d
\n\u201cIf you are religious, you are right-wing.\u201d<\/p>\n
These two judgments are not the truth;
\nis the product of mental laziness.<\/p>\n
Human beings cannot be reduced to a single identity.
\nIntellect is not an enemy of faith; faith is not an enemy of reason.<\/p>\n
This manifesto is a manifesto that
\nrejects every understanding.<\/p>\n
II. MENTAL OCCUPATION AND PERCEPTION ENGINEERING
\nIn this country, ideas did not take shape naturally.
\nPerceptions were produced, stereotypes were imposed.<\/p>\n
Society has been accustomed to being labeled, not to think.<\/p>\n
Instead of the questioning individual, the ready answer carries memorization
\nthe masses were wanted.<\/p>\n
This is not a coincidence and there is a lot of room for manipulation
\nin the case of everyone!<\/p>\n
III. THE COMMON DISEASE OF RIGHT AND LEFT
\nThe right excluded the left. The left despised the right.
\nBut they both made the same mistake:
\nJudging without understanding.<\/p>\n
One side monopolized faith,
\nthe other side thought they monopolized the mind.
\nYet neither is faith the property of a group,
\nnor is reason the monopoly of an ideology.<\/p>\n
IV. LABELING: THE EASIEST WAY OUT
\nLabeling is easy. Understanding is difficult.
\nThat's why most people chose the easy option.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is who you are\u201d, \u201cI'm trying to understand you\u201d
\nthan to say, \"I'm not a man!<\/p>\n
But this convenience corrupts society.
\nBecause human beings do not fit into labels.<\/p>\n
V. THE FALSE WAR BETWEEN FAITH AND OPINION
\nOne can be both a believer and a questioner.
\nA person can be both a worshipper and a seeker of justice.<\/p>\n
Whoever denies this is defending his own mold, not the human being.<\/p>\n
The one who despises those who pray, the one who questions faith
\nIt is the same narrow minds that exclude...<\/p>\n
VI. CLIMATE OF FEAR AND SOCIAL PRESSURE
\nPeople are still afraid in this country:<\/p>\n
\u201cTo say \u201dI am a Muslim but I am leftist\"...
\n\u201cTo say \u201dI am a nationalist but I question\"...<\/p>\n
This fear is not natural!<\/p>\n
This fear, your judgmental gaze,
\nthe product of stigmatizing languages...<\/p>\n
VII. IDENTITY CRISIS AND CONSTITUTIONAL REALITY
\nThe Republic of Turkey clearly defines it:
\n\u201cEveryone bound by the bond of citizenship is a Turk.\u201d<\/p>\n
With such an inclusive framework
\nstill divided by identity debates,
\nnot consciousness, the drift is obvious!<\/p>\n
Those who divide over identity cannot have a common future!<\/p>\n
VIII. SELF-INTEREST, LACK OF PRINCIPLE AND HYPOCRISY
\nThe principled stand firm.
\nWhoever has a vested interest changes direction.<\/p>\n
He who shouts today will be silent tomorrow.
\nWhoever defends today will sell tomorrow.<\/p>\n
This is the biggest contradiction of the order,
\nNormalization of unprincipledness!<\/p>\n
IX. THE REALITY OF THE LANTERN: ECHO CHAMBERS
\nEveryone is right in their own neighborhood. Everyone is right in their own
\napplauded by the masses. But truth is not measured by applause.<\/p>\n
He who lives in his mortar thinks his echo is real.
\nThis manifesto is not a call to echo, but to truth.<\/p>\n
X. JUDGMENT OF HISTORY
\nHistory does not write about those who take refuge in molds.
\nHistory remembers those who crossed borders.<\/p>\n
Those who take sides without thinking are forgotten over time.
\nBut those who question, leave a mark.<\/p>\n
XI. FINAL NOTICE
\nNot every fish is a piranha. Not every leaper is saved.
\nHe who acts before his time is always prey.<\/p>\n
Haste is often disastrous.<\/p>\n
XII. END WORD
\nReality:
\nIt is neither the monopoly of the right nor the left.<\/p>\n
The truth is too big to fit into narrow molds!<\/p>\n
And here is the biggest contradiction!
\nWhen one judges another
\ndoes not see its own limits.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
