The guy "giving it order" who the coup was literally against

Let's face it, if a country is in such a bad state that a military coup is needed, it is

not

a stable country.

I mean, Thailand is pretty stable and has had coups in 2006 and 2014.

Turkey's High Education Board on Tuesday ordered the resignation of 1,577 deans at all universities, state broadcaster TRT reported, part of a wide-ranging purge of dozens of state institutions following a failed coup attempt.

First they came for the generals and then for the judges, they've worked their way down to deans now. I'm curious to see who's next on the (sadly literal in some cases) chopping block.

Honest question - when has assassinating a world leader changed things for the better?

I honestly can't think of any off the top of my head, but Erdogan still needs to fucking die.

Turkey isn't the Middle East.

Also obligatory "fuck Turkey."

Fuck Erdogan supporting ISIS movement across the Turkish/Syrian border.

Fuck Turkish support of Azerbaijan.

Fuck Turkey massacring Kurds and not recognizing their right to self-determination.

Fuck Turkey adamantly denying that they genocided my ancestors.

It's a shitty state that needs to be replaced with one that is less shitty.

This will just lead to more hatred and anger. Let's calm down and discuss a reasonable solution to the problem rather than one motivated by hate.

Doesn't this imply that people here on the Internets have any means of implementing any reasonable solution?

No, it's beneficial for us to discuss the correct solution because it improves our critical thinking skills and allows us to compare the actual actions made to our proposed solution and thus judge the competence of the government. It is also very fun.

Turkey is now a great place for people into Medieval cosplay.

Accountant, just because you have the freedom of speech does not mean you should go spouting off each and every idiotic thought that enters your mind.

Your post seems to imply that you find my posts idiotic - can you explain why?

Accountant, it is all fine and dandy to brandish your extreme views on morality and obedience on the theoretical "law" thread. But here we are talking about real people who are suffering under a real world power grab of immense scale. I'd suggest that you show more compassion or lurk more if you can't. I would specially advise against calling the current situation "fun".

Going back to the topic at hand, it seems that since the "coup" ended, Edorgan has:

Spoiler: reported arrests/dismissals since coup

This is a crazy number, specially when you take into account that it all happened in a week. I have no words.

Accountant · Post Post #67 (ISO) » Wed Jul 20, 2016 5:09 am

I never called the current situation fun. Please re-read what I said. This has nothing to do with morality and obedience.
