Trump's political takeover feels like a 1-to-1 to Erdoğan's 20 year reign as the eventual dictator

I'm Turkish as well and I wouldn't say its early Erdoğan, but Trump is more like Erdoğan post-2012-2016, ditching the people who were his supporters early on (some neocons, moderate Republicans) and building the cult of personality while brainwashing his core base and purging anyone not loyal enough.

The stumbles are even similar, the Turkish economy starting tanking similarly to what Trump is doing now when Erdoğan started to go down this route - that's the silver lining really, authoritarians really really suck as managing healthy economies unless they're literal petrostates like Russia.

The only thing I'm worried about, besides anything else, is Trump trying a false flag of some sort or a failed coup to become even more of a dictator when his policies and actions start to destroy Americans' every day life.

Some context here: I think it was sort of crazy seeing this girl and her views on Jubilee, and I don't know if this is like the boosting of new "conservative" influencers or what, but since this Sam Seder episode dropped, this white nationalist girl has been getting massively boosted by Nazi accounts and others, further attempting (or succeeding) to normalize Nazi talking points and propaganda, and seemingly succeeding because crazy, but NOT Nazi conservative accounts are also non-critically boosting this stuff.

None of the studies have anything to do with transgenics

It does and it doesn't because the right wingers are mentally disabled.

Transgenic (in this case, the mice):

relating to or denoting an organism that contains genetic material into which DNA from an unrelated organism has been artificially introduced.

The MICE used in these studies were genetically altered in order to test hormone therapy and other medications like vaccine resistance - which is done all the time anyway.

So the studies DO have to do with 'transgenics' the same way it has to do with 'beakers' or 'syringes'. These are tools that just happened to have the name 'trans' in it and the right wing ran with it.

I love Ruzzia simps like you posting this nonsense while completely ignoring Azov was integrated into the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the invasion, most of its already extremist members either excised (or killed in fighting) early on, only had less than 1000 members anyway out of NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND active military.

While Ruzzia ACTIVELY has Nazis in leadership.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism_in_Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Milchakov

Many neo-Nazi sympathizers from abroad joined the militias of the self-proclaimed, unrecognized Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics at that time. According to an analysis by the French Institute of International Relations referenced by the Czech iDNES.cz server, members of far-right groups have played a much larger role on the Russian side of the war than they have on the Ukrainian side.

They left this morning (local European time) and it was mostly a shock to pretty much every news outlet because it was out of the blue and nonsensical due to their legal issues.

The only way they could leave Romania and go to the US (and only the US) is for the Trump administration to have personally applied pressure or a deal to have the Tates come to the US for some reason.

This isn't for a podcast or any leisure trip on its face, they couldn't leave Romania and two sex traffickers are now possibly meeting with government officials if not the President himself.

Honestly, watching the full video of the 'meeting' (in a public venue) she didn't even speak out of turn.

She literally said 'Is this public forum or private lectern' to a representative, and had these fat fucks drag her out while the rest of them cheered.

Who resisted the Nazis in Germany?

The Social Democrats (SPD)—with its paramilitary group the Iron Front and activists such as Julius Leber—Communists (KPD), and the anarcho-syndicalist group the Freie Arbeiter Union (FAUD), that distributed anti-Nazi propaganda and assisted people in fleeing the country.

I mean you could make propaganda, put up flyers, stickers, memes, etc etc in public places, work places. That gets the ball rolling and is at least something.

I had this thought as well before posting that people might not understand the viewpoint.

I don't think I am reaching at all, because Hasan to you all (non-Turks) seems non-traditional but his behavior is.

He could be called a 'Beyaz yaka zorba' in Turkey. A white collar bully. It means on his face, he's liberal (as in progressive, anti-conservative), drinks, isn't religious etc. etc.

But his behavior of bullying, insulting people personally, projecting his own insecurity, the...misogynistic comments that come out sometimes is 100% PURE traditional Turkish male prince of the family behavior.

Turkey is, unfortunately, FULL of Hasan's and we can smell them a mile away which is why he had a pretty sizeable Turkish audience when he started and they have kind of dwindled over time.

Its more Turkish imo - Turks and Arabs don't really overlap in this. In my experience Arabs would be more strict/judgemental and controlling AND open/hostile about it, whereas Turkish parents are more 'expecting' that you 'do your duty' and deviating from that would bring shame (as silly as it sounds).

So there is expectations to fulfill, and pressure even if they do not say it. Obviously varies from family to family, but overall I think Arabs are more open with their emotions (even hostile emotions) while Turks with their kids are less open and expect their kids to just understand their role/duty.

Not really, if you know more about where Hasan came from you can kind of understand his...viewpoints.

The old secular upper class were VERY well educated, but would not support anything like socialism/communism for example, that is contrary to their ideology of a strictly militant meritocracy (that is the ideal at least, in reality its so-so).

His takes are more a toxic combination of wealth privilege, anti-westernism/liberalism and Marxist ideals.

Yes I am, and thank you! My English is pretty good I'll say, but Its hard to translate your thoughts from Turkish -> English and then have it have the same effect writing it into English.

Yes, I do agree with that opinion but in a lot of Eastern cultures, while the son/daughter does have the child and is supposed to raise it, there is also a social responsibility on the grandparents and extended family to also help as much as they can.

So while it can be seen as shameful to not "provide" grandkids, its also shameful not to help raise the grandchildren as well, sort of a two-way street.

It depends on what you mean by right-wing politics, as far as US politics.

For example, back in 2012 when GW2 launched, right-wing discussion online could be like 'low taxes, small government, individual liberty, rights over the majority, business stuff'.

Now its 100% hyper-focused on conspiracy theories, LGBTQ issues, focused on a one-man cult (Trump) instead of policies or real political discussion and constant demonizing on the opposing side.

I consider myself very liberal, but I think older MMO's (or inactive ones) tend to have what you're describing.

OSRS (Runescape) I think is more older players, but as far as stories in MMO's, SWTOR isn't as overt as GW2.

I'll just echo the same with my own sentiment.

Of course I can (and do) report them but with stuff like this its whack-a-mole which goes with the territory of an MMO.

I didn't even consider the accounts being bots for example - but the question was more why GW2 of all games (or MMO's even) that this is so prevalent in.

I never understood FF14's pricing model and how to purchase it.

So you start with F2P? But then like you buy a xpac like you do with HoT/PoF? But there's a sub too? So its F2P/B2P AND a sub?

Like...what.
