Türkiye's history with NATO

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Türkiye was formed under Mustafa Kemal 'Atatürk's vision for the country to become more westernized, secular and based on Turkish identity/nationalism. This gave rise to the Kurdish separatist organization PKK as a reaction to the oppressive assimilation policies such as the Kurmanci language ban during 1980s. Under current President Erdoğan's AK Party administration, the rights of Kurds has improved but there is still discrimination. Inflation, corruption and the economy's decline is causing a lot of frustration. The country is polarized between Liberal Kemalist CHP voters vs more religious AK Party voters. I hope this gives you guys a general idea of what Turkish politics is like.

Self-hating 'Femcel' thinks East Asian women cannot feel or be ugly

Let me know if this doesn't belong here but this weird ass thread posted by a self-hating Black woman is trying to start beef by saying East Asian women can't have struggles of being ugly and the comments are saying stuff like "East Asians have proximity to whiteness and they're a model minority". The comments come off as jealous and snarky. I don't like that they're trying to pin different ethnicities of women against each other. There are beautiful and ugly people of every ethnicity...

Why does WizardLiz have so many Muslim fans?

Has anyone seen her recent Twitch livestream? She jokingly said she's starting her own religion where women can have 5 husbands and beat them, complained about her Muslim upbringing, how men use religion to control women, she also mentioned Ali Dawah and EarthtoKhadija.

It's her choice if she wants to follow Islam or not, but I find it surprising to see so many Muslim girls look up to her. Even before all this drama with the father of her baby (who is a Christian), she was always promoting New Age spirituality like manifesting, karmic charts and astrology.

Only 3 times?!

How many times have you seen Donald Trump crying? For me, 0 times. He didn't even cry when he bombed those children in Iran.

USA woman says others should not feel entitled for her to speak about Palestine because both sides are anti-Black

She was a very controversial Muslim revert on YouTube during the 2010s. She eventually left Islam, tried converting to Judaism at one point but recently seems to be Christian again.

She deleted her YouTube channel years ago, has been selling Native American jewelry and hardly shows her face online anymore. Her profile bio says a different Native America tribe every time I see it. She said she was Choctaw, then Dine (Navajo) and now Lakota. She used to say she was Moroccan too. See slides for screenshots.

I have no hate towards this woman. She doesn't seem like a mean or hateful person, just mentally unwell with identity issues. The racefaking needs to be called out though, especially since she's making money off of it. Selling Native American jewelry if you aren't Native American is actually a crime in the United States too.
