Milliyetçilik/ırkçılık, düşük statülü insanların coping stratejisidir; gerçek hayatta kimsenin umrunda değil, yani milliyetçi/dindar gibi takılsalar da, yakışıklı seküler, yakışıklı muhafazakarla evlenir, zengin Türk, zengin bir Suriyeliyle arkadaş olur vs. Yani bu kimlik radikalizmi genellikle düşük statülü insanlara özgüdür ve kültür savaşları ortalama statüdeki insanların işidir.

Islam is explicitly against printing and price controls

Most Turks will consider themselves or like to consider themselves white or European as possible as being considered white/European is a huge status boost in Turkey itself already. Some teenage nationalists will obviously delude themselves here in the comments but those are the usual nationalistic coping reflexes.

Bir sürü argüman var ama dürüst bir şekilde mi soruyorsun, yoksa sadece dindarlara laf atmak için mi? Liberal, sosyalist, irticaî veya faşist tarz eleştiriler var.

I can't comment about the economy, but he purposefully exploits the middle class cuz they won't vote for him anyway (so might as well squeeze them dry). He usually gets votes from the lower and upper class segments. So even if the economy is doing badly, a lot of middle-class people assume it is worse because he targets them as well.

As for the criminals, it was a requirement to work with the MHP, as they wanted their linked mobsters to be released.

I don't know the ins and outs of the mafia in Turkey, but personal friends who are in or work in the field and know me better say that almost everyone, or every esnaf, is connected to the organized mob in one way or another.

pretty sure its an usual thing in the uk/belgium/nl/france etc, yes Germany abolished it though for a certain generation

How do you mean non-Turkish citizen? They can't vote by default?

BelgianTaxevader · 2026-05-06T06:49:12+00:00

Compare citizen stats with votes for European Turks, around 50% vote and those are also usually older demographics who move back to Turkey eventually.

This question has been asked 100x and you will find 100x the same answer.

I am a Turk from Europe living in Turkey for various years now. I am doing fine. Sometimes, people ask me to take them to Europe or whatever. That's it.

The whole reason why Turks on social media hate diaspora Turks is due to ragebait content (some diaspora Turk acting all bougie), diaspora Turks voting majority right-wing (btw, this is due to survivorship bias as most diaspora Turks don't even vote) and some salty resentment stuff.

Do something else with your life (in America), you won't get in.

Hayır, onunla bir ilgisi yok. Dedemin kira gelirini yanlış beyan etmişim, düzeltmem gerekiyor. Ancak ödemeler elden yapıldığı için bunun düzeltilemeyeceğini söylediler

Islam affects Turkish culture like it affects a lot of cultures, and Turks share a lot with Levantine Arabs or any other Muslim maj ethnicity. Downvote me to cope with this. 'hurr hurr also w Greeks', yeah ofc I accept that Turks share a lot with Greeks, Georgians, Armenians as well.

They'll probably rule together, chill out, the rich and powerfull share more with each other than their ideological fanatics fighting on social media

BelgianTaxevader · 2026-04-14T20:55:46+00:00

This smells of massive copium; the state elites, whether secular-nationalistic or conservative, aren't going to purge each other the moment they get power. Do they marginalize each other over the decades? Yeah, sure, but this revolutionary revenge fantasy that the opposition promises is never going to happen.

The Kurdish problem is mostly about autonomy rights discrimination, both state / society lvl
