For those who are not clued into the intricacies of turkish (ethno-)nationalism, turanism is kind of like the odin-flavored racism in germany. They hate arabs so much they reject Islam (which is otherwise pretty core to turkish nationalism) because it’s an “arab religion”. It’s in a (not so coincidentally) similar vein to the odin-racists hating jews so much that they reject christianity due to it being a “semitic religion”. I could get into it more if needed but if you also browse the articles about the grey wolves (why are they called that 🤔) it should be fairly clear why that comm is a fascist op that is now being spread on lemmy

    It’s he/him, my pronouns are RIGHT‌ THERE.

    This post was made with obscene levels of bad faith.

    Why do you think I made this post? What’s baffling to me is that you’re so ready to think bad faith, why do you think I would have it in for this community?

      That is completely on me. I wasn’t sure of pronouns and defaulted to they/them. I honestly have no fucking idea how I missed the pronouns in the name. Genuinely sorry about that and I’ll edit the comments.

      Why do you think I made this post?

      No clue. I do not presume to understand everyone.

      What’s baffling to me is that you’re so ready to think bad faith

      Because I have asked you for the bare minimum of a single link from this community that backs your claim and you outright refused.

      It really isn’t that baffling. I have asked, repeatedly, for literally any evidence of this community being guilty of what you claim. Any comments. Any posts. Anything. You have not. You have, however, added links to reddit and other websites. You are arguing against Turanism. I am arguing against your claim of THIS COMMUNITY being what you claim. You simply have not even attempted to reach the bare minimum bar of evidence. What else am I supposed to think?
