MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I don’t think he will have the intended outcome. Jail or Join my party isn’t a particulary convincing strategy. 100
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Why does he look fresh out of ülkü ocakları? Did he meet Bahçeli in the summer break? 😁 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Hope your training of election disappointment in Turkey helps in the end hocam 😬😁 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 03/09/2026These are like early CHP reactions, looking for consistency in the right. Honestly, just plain stupid and says nothing while pretending to ostentatiously reveal their hypocrisy. 001
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I think this is a direct result of lowered quotas at state universities, which has been going on for some time now. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Being shunned because of leaving the group is a little exaggerated. There might be some cases but I doubt it is generally the case. One thing is true, that is, the group hasn’t been eager to increase the number of its followers. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 13/08/2026One correction the fallout started in 2007, when Istanbul Municipality razed their dormitory in Kasimpasa. Before one of the important figures was elected from AKP. On the other hand, the brand of AKP’s islamism never appealed the group. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 13/08/2026They have been at best lukewarm to AKP since they came to power. Erdoğan tried to get control of the group through one of MPs who is also a grandson of the founder of the group. This is probably their new strategy to take them under control. They don’t challenge the government openly. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 10/08/2026That’s the one thing they have left that is convincing enough to continue their narrative of competence. For everything else the reality is in stark contrast to what they say.  011
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I think Turkish judicial system has always been much more centralized than that of the US. Multilayered and decentralized nature of the system protects the US and also the incompetence and arrogance on Trump and Co. play an important role. RTE was a grassroots politician compared to them as well. 020
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Then bought S4 missile system (for $10b) leading to getting kicked out of F35 project. It was unnecessary aggression against a country we weren’t in war. It has been a very costly stupid move no one in Turkey owns it. 000

MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Erdoğan started as a grassroots politician. During his mayoral campaign, he even visited brothels. He’d have been called as a hard left politician by US standards. That’s been the core of his personality cult. Trump is a reality star, still treats his presidency inherently a show. 020
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I wouldn’t say informed bad intent. Malicious “omnipotence” is more like it. They do it because they can. They don’t believe the merit of it and don’t deign to understand. They are too arrogant to accept we’re at the mercy of the nature in the end. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Let’s call it a dictatorship dependent many factors to work. As long as a country doesn’t have petrol or extremely isolated, Turkey could be as authoritarian as it gets. Only similar country with a similar westernization experience is Russia and it has a much shorter democratic experience. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Turkish economic structure doesn’t allow for creating another Iran or Russia as it is simply impossible to fund the system. Thus, it is a fragile autocracy with a future tied to its autocrat. What will come after that is the scariest part for us. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 22/05/2026He's not naive, just an old man with a hunger for power even if it's only being the leader of the main opposition party. It's not the first time he happily seized the opportunity. His rise to the top at RPP/CHP was as a result of Baykal's affair. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 21/05/2026That’s mainly because of a lack of coherent strategy. Democrats need to come up with a new concrete offer to people. It should be radical and left-leaning as they need to take on “American Oligarchs”. Currently, they remind me of CHP extolling rule of law w/o having a tangible strategy. 010

MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 07/05/2026The basis for confidence on Erdoğan’s part is misplaced as it still leans on the assumption of Turkey being a young country. Best case scenario for Turkey wo Europe is being Iran wo petrol. The need is mutual tho both sides want a partnership inherently excluding the other. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 02/05/2026A version of Not Erdoğan but those around him argument hocam. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 02/05/2026At a time when they needed a TV station, not when they can produce a show with minimal equipment. They’ll be fine in a context where TV viewership is mostly older generation. 110
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Will they be ruthless enough to match a power-hungry strongman’s will and cunning to hold on to power when push comes to shove? They are ultimately replaceable as CEOs and owners. The example of China shows you don’t need oligarchs to develop technology. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 09/04/2026technically she's right by the way. How it can be framed as an insult legally even in Turkish courts at the end of the process is beyond me. It's not 90s anymore and most people doesn't care about the "ecdad" the way these wackos did and do. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 14/03/2026probably yes but the extent of this one's influence beats all the stupid and mad kings combined. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Remember the “kelle” blunder hocam? They are all of the same ilk. 021
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 04/03/2026The remedy is to read and mimic Hemingway. Understatement as the much needed style of the era of AI. 011
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Besides, he continues to wield power by disruption not construction, which in the end amount to no legacy. Erdoğan has always wanted to supplant Atatürk and his legacy, which is out of question now. He could have power as long as he lives and that is the best he could get, far from what he desires. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Susmazdı hiç o zaman. Trump gibi ne büyük bir insan olduğundan bahsederdi. Bir askerliği bir ömür anlatanların doğum yapsa ne yapabileceklerini hafife alıyorsunuz 😁 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Hitting her head. Too ominous. Reminding me of journalists dying in custody in Turkey. 000

MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 10/02/2026This shows the limit of ruling bloc and it is a bleak picture for the country really. Incompetent governing, hamstringing the alternatives, hence a country forcefully kept in an untenable position. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Do not underestimate the increase in “Yes” in such a polarized society. This increase happened in the backdrop of judiciary war on opposition. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 02/02/2026He’s referring to Bunlar hocam. Bunlar doesn’t have to be specific though. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 01/02/2026And the plan to attract people is “come and be our slaves with a salary”, I suppose. It is a tough sell for future immigrant Nobel laureates. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Turkey was dubbed 51st state by anti-americans in conversations some time ago. I don’t know if it appeared on the internet though. So now the tables have turned 😬 I’m really worried as trickle-down effect will be even worse for us. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Chobani is a sponsor, not an owner. Turkish football teams are not companies so they cannot be sold. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Erdoğan’s rhetoric doesn’t mobilize people except for the very loyal base now. I suppose MAGA will get there much sooner. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 23/01/2026When the masses face the consequences of ineffective economical policies, symbolism won’t work anymore. For symbolism to work there should be money and not just for the rich it should trickle down to the base. 000
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Especially at a time when the majority seem to take solace in being more nationalistic in response to their woes. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Well no surprise there. Building a new identity is beyond the current politicians. There’s a clear lack intellectual discussion on an acceptable definition. Türkiyeli doesn’t cut it. It is what you get after pushing racist-level nationalism for a century, I guess. 010
MMT @buzvesu.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Do you remember the dialogue between Soylu, then minister of the interior, and the governor who said that the perception of the public was really good after the earthquake in Elazığ? A nauseating Deja vu in a grander context unfortunately. 000
