Is that hand on the left doing the Grey Wolves thing?
You go, Turkey! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
They are using a far right symbol. No better then the islamist regime
We could do it, so can you!
Things are going swimmingly in Turkey I see
To all the ones calling his raised fist fascist, etc.
Not everything is universal or means the same everywhere.
Japanese temples aren’t nazi hideouts just because they are represented by swasticas on a map, as an example (to those that say the manji is not the same because orientation, feel free to go make a sign with it outside and show it to the public and say you think it’s ok, see what happens).
BLM also used this raised fist thing on their logo.
Mind you, Erdogan isn’t the biggest fan of democracy himself and many turks come to Europe to seek a better life and Özgür Özel has in the past criticised the undermining of democracy in Turkey and been harassed and investigated by authorities for criticism of Erdogan and the lack of democracy.
Edit: There is also “raised fist of solidarity” which has been used countless times throughout history to protest and go against fascist regimes, such as against the nazis and pre-modern Spain.
Shades of Yeltsin climbing the tank.
Circumstances kinda similar but also not really I guess?
definitely organic 🤡
Lets hope turkey’s gonna push through this time and bring back the democracy they once created for themselves.
someone’s hailing Satan in the left corner🤘
Even implying that Turkey has any chance to (re)turn to democracy without some sort of revolution is blatantly ignoring reality. Comparing it to Hungary is fundamentally idiotic, as one is a stable democracy that was controlled by an illiberal leader while the other one is a dictatorship that sends political opponents straight to jail…
