I just learned we have an election this year.

90 minutes of standing in line and writing down some numbers just to see the damn douche remain in my local district where he's been for at least 15 years.

get with the biggest swing associated with the election, the pre-voters, simply nip in the prevote venue when your in the area, get ticked off the role, draw your flying dicks on the form, throw in bin and hit the road.

Sorry for the length, but I have a bit of knowledge on the region (not so much Turkey, more so Syria and the Arab-Israeli conflict).

Erdogan is not likely to do anything indirect or direct against foreigners, well except against Kurds*, a decent percentage of whom are considered terrorists in Turkey. Erdogan is a political strong man and a nationalist, with strong religious leanings, so it appears to me that he is running his mouth a bit and using it to further ground level support. If he acts harshly against Australian's, he risks a lot from an international perspective and it sets a dangerous precedent. We will be running straight to Washington if anything happens and I bet Scott Morrison already consulted the US administration on this issue before he issued any statement. In saying that, in terms of importance, Turkey is more important to the USA than Australia, as Turkey has long been used to check the progress of Russia, so Washington would want a peaceful resolution.

There is a strong theory floating around that Erdogan staged the 2016 failed military coup, in order to clean out the Turkish military that had some elements loyal to Gulen, an exiled political rival. Erdogan is a strong nationalist (which isn't new in Turkey), a religious conservative and has many autocratic tendencies. In addition to cleaning out and jailing opponents in the army, Erdogan has taken strong control of the media, violently cracked down on supporters and, as a consequence of Erdogen, Turkey is no longer considered a healthy democracy. Last year, he became head of state as well as head of the government (i.e. prime minister and president kind of thing). So, if you want an actual genuine example of fascism, then Erdogen is your man. He makes Trump look like a left-leaning pussy cat.

As for retaliation by individuals or groups, I would suggest that your friend still go to Turkey, but to take strong precautions and link in with the Australian embassy (which is a good policy in any country you visit). The Turks, as a general rule, are generally pretty friendly, proud of their nation's heritage (sometimes too much so, i.e. denial of the Armenian genocide), has strong secular elements (at least before Erdogan), despise terrorism (which Erdogen plays up big time, especially against the Kurds) and is largely stable (not as much as it used to be).


*I really hoped that the Kurds got their own nation out of the Syrian conflict as they have fought very hard against ISIS, but it doesn't look like happening now. Maybe they will get more of a political say in the Assad regime seem the Kurds and the Syrian Army (and its allies) have largely avoided each other on the battlefield and indirectly cooperated on a few military actions. Plus, Assad is going to have politically compromise as he has relied heavily on Iranian, Palestinian-Lebanese (Hezbollah) and Christian militias to help his struggling army; not to mention the port access he is going to have to give up to the Russians in the long-term.

Elections in Turkey on 31st. Could be a bit of electioneering for that. Sound tough for some votes.

Thanks . He’s the most well traveled person I know so he was pretty flippant about it. I reckon because this is the first time he’s responsible for someone else he actually thought about what could happen.

I dunno what all these lefty campaigners are going to do when the actual doers of this world all pack up and leave.

We're living in a time of psychological anemics.

Where are they going to go? The pillars of politics are Academia, Media and Technology. All three pillars have been swinging far to the left in the USA and the doers have sat by for decades allowing the status quo to eventuate despite repeated warnings. If the kids are being indoctrinated to a particular political ideology, if the media reinforces that ideology and if tech restricts the freedom of communication and mobility to finance opposing views then politically speaking you are dead in the water.

Most of the current doers are in tech, most of the old doers is old money, many of them just inherited fortunes from more actual doers, if they were half the people you think they are, they would never have allowed themselves to have been boxed into this position in the first place.

Shock and horror.

Scott Morrison and co are outraged that a politician (Erdogan) is finger pointing and posturing for the upcoming Turkish elections..is this a joke?

Isn't that how every successive liberal party gov since the early 2000's got elected...

Collectively, this crop of liberals is so narrow minded that I reckon they could see through a keyhole with both eyes...

AOC confirmed an actress...it all makes sense. They cast people and she got the gig. Explains the lack of knowledge and all the errors.

Knowles dropping truth bombs from Reagan.

 

[ferball]

I haven't changed a thing. I just have an ability to think rationally and apply logic in most situations.

Interesting word "most".

"I don't know those other people" -> "these people repeat ideas"

Its not that hard to listen to these campaigners for five minutes and get really bored and irritated. They don't write their ideas down and make use of text to build coherent arguments. That's not evolution in response to technology, its devolution. That comment about conspiracy theory being no longer literate doesn't just apply to that lot. As a society we are less literate than we were, which is why I won't be watching this:

Paul Joseph Watson explains his past and his relationship with Alex. As he explains he is given free reign to talk about what he wants and is independently funded. If AOC is she is the voice of the people etc. But independent content creators that discuss different topics are "airheads who can't write properly". Contradictions everywhere. The issue is people lump everyone together and don't even given them the time of day. I know you're different and actually do go back and watch/read things so have a look:

Who is AOC? I'm not that into seppo pollies. The people with power in the US own politicians. Most of the people who get presented as geniuses of the new right or whatever it is are actually airheads that can't write properly tho. I dunno what people on the other side of that political divide are like because I'm not constantly having people tell me to listen to whatever crap they've just spouted on youtube.

Of course it won't. Which is why I don't understand why people fall for their games when they suppress new or independent media. People are sick of MSM and the stranglehold they've had over the entire market for so long.

FFS Dude Alex Jones is the MSM.

Look at Kochie yesterday. He brought Pauline Hanson on a few days after the incident for his own benefit and ratings. It took 2 mins for MSM in the states to blame Trump. MSM is part of the problem and it's getting worse.

ou can't whinge about the MSM then ... take any bloody notice of them.

Who is Kochie? Why do you care what he did? That's how the MSM get power. Because they are still relevent enough to people like you for you to know what they did.

The MSM didn't really have a stranglehold over information for a period between 1990 and maybe 2010 to 2012, when info and opinion was a lot more decentralised but twitter and facebook are the new MSM and they've reinforced their power again.

 

[ferball]

Did this guy just notice the western media doesn't give a **** about what happens outside these walls. **** what a genius. Lets give him a round of applause.



Seriously this guy is a knob. He is still smearing his enemies and whatever else he said he wasn't doing. If campaigners can't write stuff they should shut up, or at least be funny and have good voices for radio. And all this video bullshit just promotes ego tripping w***ers whose obvious physical unattractiveness detracts from their messaging.

And I don't disagree with everything he said either. Maybe most of it but a few times I thought "well that's a good point". Can't remember them tho cos of all the other noise.

Another trouble with podcasts and videos is that when people talk their signal to noise ratio increases exponentially.

-AOC is an actress
-Jones is the leader of the resistance
-I know about the Kochie thing because work colleagues were talking about it. As a genuis that likes to be informed i watched it. Also i hate port and that adds to my trolling port file.
-"my time is so valuable so I'll continue spouting misinformation and being an ideologes"

Get familiar with his handsome mug ferball. 1.6 million subs. He's been in the game since early 2000's. He's spreading his wings and flying out from under the infowars banner to start his own platform. MSM is on its knees right now. The truth without agendas is coming. The truth backed up by facts. The Mark dices, crowders, rubins, paul joseph watson, owen schroyer, alex jones, david knight, daily wire...they are coming to put an end to dated agenda driven drivel. Brian Stelter is crying in a corner. Independent media is growing and it's spawning plenty of great new content creators on youtube, bitchute, etc. Soon i will join them. I won't be bought and i will bring facts, honour, and dignity back to the news.
