Anti-Salafist Uprising in Turkey

[Leonardo17]

 
   The video above is about students who were detained during the protests last week who were released this Wednesday. The video has a subtitle option but I’m going to translate the slogans they are shouting about our Salafist sympathizer government.
 
1) “Shoulder to shoulder against fascism” (This is a left-Wing Slogan from the 1970’s)
 
2) “This is only the beginning. We’ll keep on struggling.” (I don’t know the origin of this one but it has been around since the Gezi Protests of 2013)
 
3) “There is no liberation on your own. It’s all of us or it’s none of us” (A bit like “If we burn, you will burn with us” but this one is more local )

   Just from the protests that are erupting in Turkey since the Islamo-conservative government was able to seize power in August 2001 you can tell (from it’s opponents) that the islamo-fascist ideology has little to do with spirituality. In fact it is safe to say that their N-1 ally (other than religious sects with all forms of twisted Islamic ideology) is the Kurdish insurrectionist movement called the PKK (to which they are making regular compromises while appearing to be fighting them very decisively on the battlefield).
 
   On the other side of the spectrum. The opposition is being led by the secular social democrat party (The CHP). They too are working with the Kurdish opposition party (the DEM Party). + There is a group of conservative Islamist party in their alliances (I don’t really care about them). Then there is a group of nationalist parties (I don’t really care about them either). Then there is the Turkish Worker’s Party and a few other left-wing group who don’t have many seats in the parliament but are popular among young people (the Guys in the video).
 
   So what is happening (according to me), is that no one even cares about identities or adjectives any more. Very plainly and simply put: There are people who are confused with the modern world, who do not understand progress, who don’t know where they really belong in this Western Capitalist society, to whom governance by representation does not make any sense, who simply would be happier if none of the social changes that shook our societies in its core during the last 500 years had never happened. So they come in the form of extreme liberals, liberal conservatives, racists, anti-immigration activists, Anti-Western post-communist dictators (Belarus and Russia), political Islamists or even secularists (The opposite situation is happening in places like Egypt and Tunisia with strong, aging and corrupt leaders of some sort posing as secular progressive leaders – a bit like Bashar al Assad).

   On the other hand you have communists, anarchists, socialists, liberals, LGBTQ+ people, students, retirees, ordinary workers, educated people, peasants, farmers, ecologists, feminists, left-wing people, right wing people, conservatives even (as I have said) nationalists + conservative nationalists with atheists, spiritual people, non-spiritual people, people with some religious affiliation and people with no religious affiliation.
 
   So all that I see here is energy. There is the old energy. The energy that has been around for several millennia now. That’s the energy of feudalism and the rule of the strongest (really at its core that is exactly what Mr. Trump is promoting and I think he would confirm that is you ask it in private).
 
   Then there is the energy of change. The energy of risk takers. Those who believe that new stuff will bring more good than more evil to the world.
 
   At its core, this is a very personal choice. And this struggle has been with us at least since the 1700’s or so. But in our time the winning side is becoming more obvious every day. So these “old energy” people are getting angrier. Which is why Things like Hitler, Putin or even D. Trump and modern China are happening now in this 20th and/or 21st century.
 
   If you look at Mussolini or Hitler, you can see that it’s all about the past. Like everything that makes the modern era is actually “Jewish” and the New Russian Empire and their allies are actually there to liberate us from this nonsense for our own good. Even if it means causing the dead of tens of thousands of people in meaningless wars or putting entire fractions of society in reeducation camps etc.

   So there are those who expect positivity as a result of change and are therefore readily accepting it. And there is this Tamasic (stagnant) energy that rejects it and believes that mankind simply does not change.n
