Let’s go Türkiye 🇹🇷 🐺🤘

👮‍♂️👮‍♂️🚔

Yeah, three starters out because of suspensions, and fans getting arrested because they’re throwing up militant far-right Nationalist hand signs in Germany of all places. Good luck I guess, but it was a wrap before the first whistle.

I’m not gonna discuss my nationality symbol. Here I am; a non right wing (even hater) Turkish.

And there’s also you, a hidden fascist.

  • Is being nationalist banned in Germany? No.
  • Is 🤘 symbol banned in Germany? No. (even tho it is in 🇦🇹)
  • Having a fucking far-right parties banned in Germany? If we look at 🇩🇪, NO!

Even the fact that BILD announced Merih’s suspension 1 day before our defense approves how “free” is UEFA and how “justice” Germany is.

I just want to say this truth: even though a right wing party trying to internalize this (they always do because they need a mainstay), %80 of Turkish people use it for pure Turkish symbol. Do whatever you want with this info.

the fact that "80% of Turkish people use it for pure Turkish symbol", when it is clearly associated with a paramilitary fascist group, should really make you think about why Turkey isn't looked upon nicely by the EU in general. And I'm frankly surprised that even as a "non right wing Turkish", you still think it's fine to use the symbols that are now widely associated with that political group. I can't think of a world where I, an Italian, would use the Roman salute because it's a "patriotic" salute and because "everyone does it here" (even if a large majority of Italians don't, thank god).

We didn’t have Hitler in our history though. You can’t compare roman salute with wolf gesture. It’s like “we should ban knives because some minorities can kill people with it”.

We can’t beg Europe to like us either. Europeans are uncomfortable with the fact that we just exist. Should we also disappear? Just to make them pleasant?

As I know, Italia also symbolizes wolfs. What if one day Germany says “wolf is fascist Turkish symbol, you will not use it”, what would you think?

I’m pretty sure you would say “yes daddy Germany uWu I won’t 🙏🙏”

Turks committed genocide towards Armenians (and are still perpetrating one against Kurds).

Europeans are uncomfortable with the fact that we just exist.

It's not about existence, it's about extremism and authocracy making its way into Europe. I don't think any European looks at Hungary with respect, either.

Italy also symbolizes wolfs.

Wolves are not correlated, at least in Italy, to paramilitary fascist organisation responsible for war crimes. And, of course, there's always a degree of interpretation: a wolf is a wolf, a wolf salute is a reminder of the violent recent history of Turkey and its accommodation into the reality of "the normal".

I believe Turkey is a wonderful country, but there's definitely better ways to show patriotism than to resort to extremist political affiliation for doing it. Like, I don't know, a Turkish flag?

Flag, wolf and wolf salute are my symbols and I’ll use these no matter what. I won’t give up any of these even if an extremist group used it. Did EU banned the cross symbol for extremists like KKK? Then STFU.

Also extremism and autocracy are already exists in the EU.

There’s a far-right party in Germany, rising every year. Who won the fucking election in the Italy?! How hypocrite you can be?

Also everyone downvoting but no one answering this: Bild announced our footballers suspension 1 day before we did our defense. Is this justice? Is this democracy you guys so praise about? Isn’t this proves UEFA is highly influenced by Germany?

The hypocrisy of Europeans makes me more nationalist 🤘🤘

Yeah, it wasn't too hard to unmask you.

Your team lost. Get over it. Now, can moderation do something about this clown?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You said you weren’t going to discuss your nationality symbol, then went on to discuss your nationality symbol. I am confused.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I explained the unfair and hypocritical decisions of Germany and UEFA. Not the symbol. You’re just a unsuccessful troll, aren’t you? 1 day old account. Just deal with someone else.
