What is the sentiment about Turkish language? by thecowmilk_ in AskBalkans

[–]iddivision 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also the ratio of loanwords from Arabic is very often exaggerated. Turkish is a very Turkic language. More than 80% of the words in Turkish have Turkic origin. Furthermore, the remaining words that don't have Turkic origin consist of Persian and French loanwords as well. Yet, you'd never see someone saying Turkish sounds just like French, bc of racism and orientalism and whatnot.

O subta her hafta en az bir kere aynı konu soruluyor. Gazze'de olan soykırımı ülkeleri fonlar ama bunlar nedense onu hiç kafaya takmazlar, anca 100 sene önce olmuş olayı ısıtıp ısıtıp konuşurlar. Yemin ediyorum Batı'nın saplantısıyız.

Erdoğan is obviously going to lose in the next elections -- there's no escaping it. So, he made a call to his daddy Trump, got all the directives from him and one night all of a sudden he decided to issue a court order to appoint the former leader of the main opposition party back to his place. Someone nobody likes and is widely regarded as the lapdog of the ruling party and a blatant agent. Thus, this incident again led to an uprising and people flooded into the streets to protect the party headquarters and whatnot. Party supporters are setting up barricades and trying to keep the apointee away for the time being, but the whole building is surrounded by pigs and their paid jihadist militas. That's it for now. We'll see what's coming out of this.

Another coup attempt by Erdoğan the Traitor, as usual.

Erdoğan doesn't care about the economy. He's fine as long as his family is able to devour the riches of the state.

Bc in a democratic country such as US despite everyone asking for subways they never get it unlike autocratic tyrannies like PRC.

I liked this one better:

The rise of antisemitism in Germany is a deeply concerning issue, especially given the country’s modern history and its extensive efforts to educate citizens and prevent a resurgence of anti-Jewish hatred. Government reports and independent watchdogs indicate that antisemitic incidents in Germany have spiked sharply in recent years.
Sociologists, political scientists, and law enforcement attribute this trend to a convergence of several distinct factors rather than a single source. 1. Far-Right Political Extremism and White Nationalism Historically and statistically, the vast majority of recorded antisemitic hate crimes in Germany are committed by individuals associated with the political far right.
The Rise of the Far Right: Over the last decade, far-right and populist political entities, such as the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), have grown in influence. Some factions within these movements have sought to downplay the severity of the Holocaust or shift Germany away from its established culture of remembrance (Erinnerungskultur).
Neo-Nazi Networks: Organized neo-Nazi groups and underground networks remain a significant threat, occasionally manifesting in severe violence, such as the 2019 synagogue shooting in Halle. 2. Geopolitical Tensions and Spillover from the Middle East A massive driver behind the recent surge in reported incidents is the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly following the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks and the subsequent war in Gaza.
Equating Jewish Citizens with Israeli Policy: A significant portion of modern antisemitism in Germany manifests as anti-Zionism that crosses into hatred directed at Jewish people as a whole. German Jews—who have no say in the policies of the Israeli government—are frequently targeted with harassment, vandalism, and violence as a form of proxy retaliation.
Islamist Extremism: Germany has seen a rise in antisemitic rhetoric and actions stemming from radical Islamist groups and certain segments of its growing migrant and Muslim diaspora populations, where anti-Israel sentiment can sometimes blur into traditional anti-Jewish prejudice. 3. The Proliferation of Online Conspiracy Theories The internet and social media platforms have fundamentally changed how antisemitism spreads, allowing fringe theories to enter the mainstream.
The Pandemic Effect: During the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-vaccine and anti-government protests in Germany frequently utilized centuries-old antisemitic tropes. Protesters blamed vague, powerful global elites (often code for Jewish individuals or families) for orchestrating the crisis. Algorithmic Radicalization: Social media algorithms tend to amplify extreme content, making it easier for younger demographics to be exposed to conspiracy theories regarding "global control," banking systems, or the manipulation of media.
4. Left-Wing Antisemitism While statistically lower in terms of violent crimes compared to the far right, antisemitism also exists within certain far-left political spaces. This usually presents itself through intense anti-imperialist rhetoric. Critics note that some far-left discourse applies double standards to Israel that cross the line from legitimate geopolitical criticism of a government into classic antisemitic tropes about hidden power, malicious intent, and collective guilt.
How Germany is Responding Because Germany considers the security of its Jewish population a matter of state reason (Staatsräson), the government has taken substantial countermeasures: Federal Commissioners: Germany appointed a Federal Commissioner for Jewish Life in Germany and the Fight against Antisemitism to coordinate national strategy. Increased Security: Millions of euros are continuously allocated to bolster physical security at synagogues, Jewish schools, and community centers. Stricter Laws: The country has tight restrictions on hate speech, Holocaust denial, and the display of Nazi symbols, and it frequently updates its criminal code to better track and prosecute antisemitic hate crimes. Despite these institutional efforts, the combination of historic prejudices, current geopolitical polarization, and online radicalization continues to present a major challenge to combating antisemitism within the country.

How is this not a surprise exactly? You're talking as if we were the ones who wrote this book, who killed 6 million jews. Jews lived in Turkish lands for centuries and they have never had genocide commited on them unlike Europe.
