Turkey is placed 149th out of 180 countries when it comes to the liberty of the press. Almost as bad as Russia, which is 152nd to make a comparison.
You and Flockula should get the hell out of Turkey as fast as possible before you get arrested for being terrorists according to Erdogan's glorious sense of respect of democracy & human rights.
Every single good person around me has been thinking of getting the fuck out of this shithole for more than a decade. The time is actually ripe now and those people are considering it gravely at the moment. Me? I am reluctant as ever. For some reason, I still cannot bring myself to consider leaving. On the other hand, I do realize that it is the only option left.
We have believed in the myth of the "good, kind-hearted, virtuous people of Anatolia". It has always been a myth. It didn't turn into one overnight. It is just that the information age has allowed us to see how rotten, foul, unintelligent, mean, corrupted, undesirable and unbearable the average Turk is. It takes a log-headed caveman to be still voting for a monster like Tardogan and they seem to persist in doing that no matter what.
I don't know. I am truly broken. As are all my friends around me. Can't even think clearly. What little half-assed democracy we used to have is lost forever now.
