There is some pretty inspirational shit coming out of Türkiye these days.
It has been reported that unarmed and peaceful students are being met with harsh force by the government police. The footage is very upsetting. For example, a young man with only a Turkish flag on his back is attacked by 8-9 officers using batons and tear gas, unable to escape. He is beaten and arrested. I feel very ashamed of what my country’s police are doing. I ask you to share this with others so they can see this cruelty and violence from a different view, which might make them feel guilty. These are not the people’s police but the government’s hired enforcers.
The situation is worsening as the protests spread and the number of participants grows, with police violence escalating even further. The most striking incident is happening in the eastern part of the country, where terrorists freely chant slogans about dividing the nation, while the police only “protect” them from the public(!?). Meanwhile, students are met with extreme levels of violence. The number of injured students is notably high.
What can I say..honour
People are tired of Erdogans islamic state. They want secularism back. Turkey is a western country and its people are fighting to have it back.
Thank you OP

Posing? Or did he read it all throughout the protest?
90 year old frail man won’t give up his power. He will arrest the next person, too. It all goes under terrorism.
Not a bad choice of book. Quite adequate.

Dont let them rob your rights.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (French philosopher, 1712 – 1778):
“Man is by nature good, peaceful and made to live in harmony with others.
But society is built on false values:
On lies,
the pursuit of fame,
and selfishness.
People who should be doing well are at the mercy of a despot’s will.
They are deprived of their power to decide with others how they want to live.
We need to change the way we live together.
Work out a social contract that gives us back the freedom of citizens.
So that we live according to laws that we ourselves have chosen.
Man is born free and everywhere he lies in chains.”
