I wanna rant a bit here, I’d like to say this first though I know no one cares, this has nothing to do with race (I really don’t care about the color of ones skin but rather the beliefs they hold to their hearts) but rather the culture of the Turkish peoples primarily in the ottoman-modern Turkish State. This is mostly brought up about the current Turkish offensive in Afrin Syria.
wtf have they ever done to contribute to the advancement of the human race. Literally since their start back in the late 1200s all they have done as a culture isn’t kill and bring destruction to the rest of the world. Whether that’s the destruction of Constantinople, the numerous invasions of the Safavid empire (which I’m not a big fan of either but I don’t despise them to the same extent as the ottomans) the numerous attacks and invasions of Europe. The constant harassment of shipping lanes. The endless destruction of buildings, technology, literature, and culture as a whole, the persecution of all minorities under their control since their start as a ruling state, the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides which they still deny to this day though they are on a similar scale to the holocause. All the way into modern times proving it’s not just the ottoman government creating so much death and destruction but the Turkish culture to with their modern persecution of Kurdish and numerous other people’s. And even into this very day in which they are launching unwarranted and uncalled for attacks on US and NATO (the very same alliance they are a member of) backed troops and militias, mostly Kurds which they have historically persecuted. Like so many others. It just disgusts me how destructive, backwards, and death bringing a society can be while contributing almost NOTHING towards the world, only leeching off of everyone else while bringing death to this day almost entirely due the sentiment of the turkish peoples of the region that they are superior over all. Opinions?
