Politics in Turkey has long ceased to be a race to solve problems.
\nThe race is now about who is more victimized.<\/p>\n
Here's what's interesting:
\nNot only the opposition but also the government portrays itself as a victim.
\nEveryone is under pressure, everyone is targeted, everyone feels wronged.<\/p>\n
Because in this new order, being right is not enough.
\nIt is necessary to appear victimized.<\/p>\n
How is victimization manufactured?<\/strong><\/p>\n When an incident happens, the incident itself is no longer the first thing anyone looks at. \u201cFrom whom?\u201d<\/p>\n If it is \u201cours\u201d, it is defended. So the crime disappears, Parties are being talked about, not facts.<\/p>\n At this point, victimization ceases to be an emotion, Victimization is no longer an issue; Power's Game of Victimization<\/strong><\/p>\n A system in which the government produces victimization has been established in this country.<\/p>\n The opposition's victimization is understandable, because if there is victimization, there is a force that produces it. So where does the government's victimization come from?<\/p>\n How can a power that holds its own power, sets the rules, draws the boundaries of the game be victimized? We don't know yet.<\/p>\n But there is one thing we know: Because victimization of the government is not a quest for rights; At one point, this language even tried to rewrite economic reality.<\/p>\n As the cause of unabated inflation and the cost of living, Onion farmers were suddenly turned into \u201ccriminals\u201d and even \u201cterrorists\u201d who victimized the public. But the nature of this work is clear: But it was not the economy, it was the narrative.<\/p>\n Because when a \u201cresponsible\u201d is produced instead of the real cause of a problem, And so a country, not with facts; All this, accompanied by the rhetoric of \u201cI am a victim and I am a victim\u201d, This is precisely the kind of political language that has been established.<\/p>\n And here's the irony: But whoever has the power is also responsible.<\/p>\n Silenced from the Inside<\/strong><\/p>\n But I think the real victims are the opposition within the opposition. Anyone who says something different, who objects, who questions; So the controversy disappears, Yet the essence of democracy is precisely the existence of that objection.<\/p>\n Who is the real victim?<\/strong><\/p>\n At the end of the day, if we do an accounting:<\/p>\n The real victim of this system is neither the government nor the political institution itself.<\/p>\n The real victims are those trapped in the bubble of poverty, Because they are neither the subject of the narrative nor the owner of the decision. And perhaps the most painful thing is this:<\/p>\n Their voice is the least heard where it is most spoken.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the next article, we will look at why this language has resonated and why society has remained silent.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cSiyaset art\u0131k \u00e7\u00f6z\u00fcm \u00fcretmiyor; ma\u011fduriyet \u00fcretip onu y\u00f6netiyor.\u201d<\/p>\n Bu yaz\u0131, \u201cGer\u00e7e\u011fin Yerine Ge\u00e7enler\u201d ba\u015fl\u0131kl\u0131 yaz\u0131 dizisinin ikinci b\u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fcd\u00fcr.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":285124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[289],"class_list":{"0":"post-285123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-yazarlar","8":"tag-manset"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285125,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285123\/revisions\/285125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nEveryone is asking the same question:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOf them\u201d is condemned.<\/p>\n
\nis replaced by identity.<\/p>\n
\nit becomes a strategy.<\/p>\n
\nIt becomes a tool that is produced, nurtured and managed.<\/p>\n
\nThis is one of the most basic facts of politics:
\nIf you remove equal conditions, the race ceases to be a competition and turns into domination.<\/p>\n
\nIs there a democratic equivalent of a government that victimizes itself?<\/p>\n
\nThis language is not used to explain the truth; it is used to cover up the truth.<\/p>\n
\nit becomes the safest armor to escape responsibility.<\/p>\n
\npeasants producing potatoes and onions were shown.<\/p>\n
\nAlmost every day with a language of operation,
\nonion warehouses and potato silos were raided.<\/p>\n
\nPotatoes and onions are harvested, stored and released at the appropriate time.<\/p>\n
\nthe real debate disappears.<\/p>\n
\nwith manufactured stories.<\/p>\n
\nover time it became absurd enough to be the subject of sketches.<\/p>\n
\nToday, the government speaks almost as if it is victimizing the opposition.<\/p>\n
\nBecause they are left alone twice:
\nUnder the pressure of the government and the intolerance of his own neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\nSuddenly he is labeled a \u201ctraitor\u201d or a \u201ccollaborator\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nreplaced by labels.<\/p>\n
\nIt is the people who are lulled by stories of victimization and ruled by these stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nOnly those who live the consequences.<\/p>\n
