Erdoğan Juggles Too Many Balls At Once!
Sevgili arkadaşım, have you no sense of decency?
– #shorts upon request - objections on short- to long-term memory loss –
Those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable. We are against such a situation and will not allow it. Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people; it is against just such people that we have fought and will continue to fight. (Mustafa Kemal Atatürk)
Honourable Recep Tayyip Erdoğan!
Would you have a minute for sharing a couple of objections on your odd best practice methods?
Okay, here we go!
First Objection | HAMAS) Favouring[1] Hamas‘ Terrorism[2] against Israel.
Ain’t Turkey and Israel NATO members?
Second Objection | KURDS) Attacking Syrian Kurds[3], the United States' key affiliate in countering IS[4].
Ain’t the Kurds[5] figuratively Turkish Palestinians?
Third Objection | NATO) Having persistently frustrated Sweden's anticipated NATO membership[6] on having alleged the Scandinavians of permitting, if not supporting "terrorist efforts".
Could you imagine such an accusation on, e.g. "Bible, Prayer Wheel[7] or Japamala[8] burnings" to be voiced in any other developed country of the world?!
Fourth Objection | PUTIN) Substantiating commendable mediation between Russia‘s and Ukraine‘s counterparties on negotiating grain import and export agreements, alongside continuing odd trade efforts with Putin, Russia’s President and globally undisputed war perpetrator[9] against the Ukrainian population.
Could you imagine any other Political King Pin of the developed and free world doing the splits of such kind?!
Fifth Objection | GERMANY) Major appearances and Political Campaigning[10] in Germany aversively framing resident Turks‘ mindset against fellow[11] Turkish citizens, German Policy Makers and the German population altogether; instrumentalising Germany's democratic freedom, publicly voicing despotic slogans proving non-compatible with her Liberal Democratic Order.
My people are going to learn the principles of democracy the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will, every man can follow his own conscience provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him act against the liberty of his fellow men. (Mustafa Kemal Atatürk)
Could you imagine that taking place in Turkey?!
By the way, how many nationalities[12] do Turkish people require for cherry-picking?!
Last Objection on a Quote | AGGRESSION)[13]
The pioneer of ethology, Niko Tinbergen, called man an unhinged killer. By this, he meant, man lacked those inbuilt instinctive inhibitions preventing animals from killing their fellow species. Those animic inhibitions, inherited instincts had to be emulated by man through reasoning and socialising. [...]
Aggression derives from the Latin term "aggredior" – "aggredi ", originally meaning "to approach" (in the sense of "approaching"), "to touch/attack" in the sense of "touching"/"attacking" [...].
Only in our times, "aggression" has become notorious as manifest or tacit "aggressive behaviour", sometimes having been distinguished from "aggressiveness" by means of "hostile characteristic" or "ill intentions". [...]
"Rationalisation" is the unconscious justification of an action by pronouncing a "good" ("understandable") matter rather than the "true" (often "enigmatic") reason. Providing this "bending into shape" is intendedly rigged, it is may no longer be considered/called "rationalisation", but a "lie". [...]
Every "rationalisation" contains a piece of "reason" and "ratio". Rationalisation of an unreasonable "desire" requires "reasoning", just as the "justification" of "injustice" requires sheating itself to appear as "justice". [...]
"Rationalisation" per se bears deliberations of "self-justification" in terms of "making something reasonable", "making something right", and above all, tends to suspend all intents but those proving conducive to "manufacturing consent", eventually debunking the "originator" as his own source of "self-deception" and "public deceit". [...]
There is an uncountable variety of worshippers' "expressions of violence" feeding on a "sanctuary mission". Having been voiced in all global languages and dialects at all times, communist, fascist, left- and right-wing, as well as revolutionary and counter-revolutionary mindsets, have justified their own violence, having glorified and celebrated such as the "principle of creation", as the "essence of man", as the one and only "heroic challenge" and as the "only means of fulfilling the human mission", having served "history", "freedom", "equality" and "brotherhood".
Violence is labelled "fortitude", "courage", "determination", "strength", "masculinity", touted as the best means of "refining to becoming human", "gaining identity", suitable to "asserting oneself", as an "epitome of pure, unvarnished, real, human truth" – as much as a "commodity serving entertainment" and "killing time".
