HAhaha...you tried to pull this on PN about how Hazaras are persecuted in Afghanistan because he is the ethnic majority... You automaticly assumed we deny there is ethnic persecution in our countries and apply Western exceptionalism.
I know my country, my people, my history better than you. So refrain from using these 3 things -which i will always strive for their sake- against me.
Trust me I'm loling too - that reply was intentional trolling except I made it verbose just to annoy you since you complained about my typing too much before but if you want to debate then sure, I will be happy to entertain you.
You disclaim western exceptionalism and yet in that previous thread "German government admits: over half a million asylum seeker missing," you went on about how 'xenophobia' and 'racism' have made "Europe what it is today."
So tell me what is it, is tribalism and associated phenomena (e.g. xenophobia and racism) ubiquitous as you strangely also said in that thread, or is the west unique in being shaped by these things? I can't see how those two views are reconcilable, to be honest, but please explain.
And If you don't want me to talk about your history, which I never claimed to know more than yourself, then please stop talking about my history like you did in that thread.
I am not Iraqi.
I know you are Turkish; the point is that I don't see what there is to mock about that quote when there is due context.
Because my country is not perfect..?
When did i ever blamed Brits or whites or whatever collectively? There are good and bad in every race and no one needs a picture perfect history of their people for talking about human rights. If that would be the case, nobody's people has a clean past.
I am not my ancestors, neither i gave Hitler inspiration.
My ancestors were from Balkans and present day Armenia, fyi.
They will not have a complete control over their resources if they gain independence.
Do you know zlich about mid east?
But that is just the point after-all, isn't it?
Do you think the majority of the German people under Nazi rule just suddenly changed their moral outlook to life over-night and became evil incarnate?
How about that the Soviet Union was certainly not established via the will of the Russian people as a whole.
History is often made by determined, cooperative and aggressive minorities, and not atomized majorities who often have no clue as to what they want.
That is why ISIS isn't just a 'bunch of extremists.'
The Nazis and the Soviet Communists too started as 'a few radicals,' and yet established the most brutal and consequential empires of the last century.
Do you know what the origin of the word 'Hazara' is? The word actually means one thousand and is reputed to have referred to the unit of 1000 soldiered Mongol horde that decimated Afghanistan - pillaging, raping, destroying irrigation systems, and all the other typical activities associated with the expanding Mongols, when they invaded that country.
And yet not too long ago, the Hazara were the ones raped and enslaved in the masses by their neighbours.
Ebbs and flows, do you see what I mean now?
Such is the over-all pattern of human behaviour that results from the reality that resources are scarce, that humans live in groups, and that those groups compete over those resources in zero-sum games.
Ethnic nation states like Japan don't have this problem because there is just one relevant group in that country.
Even in the Muslim world, the most peaceful countries today are the ones that are the most homogeneous and have the least diversity. Kyrgyzstan might be a poor third world country but there is almost no tribal conflict there because the Kyrgyz people constitute an absolute majority. If I was a Syrian, Iraqi or whatever, I'd prefer to be poor and safe than live in the diverse tribal hell that is those nations as they are now.
Does that solve the problem of militant expansionism? No, but it does ameliorate a lot of civil strife.
I don't want to make this too long so I won't say anything on your remark about the prospects of control over resources but whatever you believe, do you really think independence in that regard is possible while Sunnis, Shia and Kurds are at each other's throats over who gets this or that share of oil wealth?
We call it terrorism because innocent people have been died because of them, they use underage soldiers, there is a massive amount of drug trafficking, they use suicide bombs as a mean to attack.
Oh how the millions of Kurds who live in İstanbul, İzmir, Adana would like to be free of Turks to live in Şırnak and Diyarbakır of everywhere.
Just to make it clear; i am not against seperation completely. I am against autonomy; i stand for either complete seperation of Kurdish and Turkish states or seeking a future in current borders.
That is the way of the asymmetric warfare of the relatively powerless.
The native African resistance to the various European colonial powers was far, far worse in respect to the things you described than the Kurdish resistance, and yet I doubt you would hold similar feelings for their cause. Ethnic resistance is terrorism only to the group at which it is directed.
And you would be very wise then in that view, suzerainty would probably exacerbate that problem. Kurds in Iraq live in many Arab cities but whenever a poll or referendum is issued that asks about independence, a vast majority of them say they would prefer independence.
My point in discussing all of this, however, is this: would you call those Iraqi Kurds 'racist' or 'xenophobic' because they are separatist? I am not even a separatist in the strict sense of that term, I simply want to preserve the demographics of Whites in Europe at the very least, but people always call me a racist because of that view.
I am not impressed by tokenization. I have seen what you wrote about many groups of people.
Because you are a racist.
Don't assume things was my point. I am not politically correct, I do not deny it. Though I treat any individual I interact with in the real world without regard for creed or ethnicity, I do not believe that cultures and peoples are equal.
I don't want Islam in my society, I could care less what Muslims do in their own lands but I do not want sharia trash where I live - if you think that is 'hateful' then so be it. On the other hand, I admire Chinese culture more than I do what has become of my own these days. So again, don't assume things.
Well, you need to learn a lot.
It does not mean people should strive for better. People, throughout history have developed many thing they did not use to have. People of different ethnicities can live peacefully, unless your relation with that Chinese lady is an outlier..?
People of different ethnicities can live together peacefully only when one ethnicity remains an absolute majority in that society, and when the minority is alien and is not separated from its kin by artificial borders.
Wherever there are diverse peoples in an artificial circumscribed border, there is recurring tribal strife and conflict. This holds true for the world over and is a theme of history.
Have you ever considered that all these moral platitudes about getting along does not matter in the face of that reality?
Nope, whites are majority, and they always held power in USA. Kurds did not hold most power in Turkey, even during Ottoman Empire they were equal to other anatolian Sunni Muslim folk. And Kurds' numbers are increasing higher rate than Turks. So in you fallacious scenario they should be the majority.
This is a false equivalency, whites in USA and Kurds in Turkey can not parallel.
That was not my point, I was not attempting to construe any parallels - merely suggesting that when Whites become a minority, they will become the vulnerable and the powerless, just like minorities everywhere else on this planet.
Whites made up over 90% of the US population less than a century ago and now they make up 60%. They will become a minority if current demographic trends continue.
From Al-Jazeera:

"The nation’s demographics are on a clear trajectory: White people are dying faster than they are being born, which means they are on target to become a minority in the United States in 30 years.
For the third year in a row, deaths of non-Hispanic whites outnumbered births, according to detailed population estimates for states and counties released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
“This is without historical precedent,” said Kenneth Johnson, the senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey School of Public Policy. “The minority population is growing, and the non-Hispanic white population is not.”
Whites currently account for 62 percent of the population but 78 percent of deaths, according to Johnson’s analysis."
When they become a minority in a country ruled by people who hold historical grudges against them, as many Blacks and Hispanics do for historical crimes perpetrated by the US, what do you think will be their fate there?
It will likely be worse than that of the Kurds in Turkey.
Try making better working anaoligies for your people then.
I did not call Kurdish people terrorists either.
Here is the difference between how can i say me "calling you out" and you "calling me out":
I did not accuse you of racism based on your ethnicity. You did so because of my ethnicity.
You assumed that since i was a Turk, i was responsible for the crimes of other Turks, i am racist as them and i ignore my country's problems within its past and present.
That is when all your supposed "gotcha" have fell down. I am a majority Turk, whose family has a Sunni background. Like i am the majority in my country and i heavily critisize out current government who panders into its mostly Sunni-Turk voterbase.
Expelling you down, wth? I have no relation with Britain nor my country has much of it.
There are no seperate ways. Humans can not ignore their past with its bad and its good. There are millions of Kurdish/Turkish mixed people. There are millions of Turks in East and Kurds in West. There are Armenians living in Istanbul. Neither your 2edgy4u neo-fascism or imaginary borders will change that; if they do there will be bigger pains along the way such as forced population exchanges almost no one wants.
PS: Your mindset was the thing that carried the Armenian genocide and persecuted the Kurds. These things happened because the "other" was threat and other must be held down. You should not use these people and their struggles for your own petty agenda.
For the purpose of writing better prose, I have always tried to minimize the amount I write these days but I see that conciseness makes it difficult for people to understand me.
I never claimed you called the Kurds terrorists, my argument in a nutshell is that I am no more 'racist' and 'hateful' than the Kurds who want to separate from their Arab, Persian and Turkish neighbours.
Nor did I accuse you of racism - though I suspect that deep down, you have something against White people. And you would be hardly special in that regard, most Blacks and Muslim derived folk don't like the west and its native peoples.
Sorry about the rhetoric, I meant that Trump and his supporters aren't going away. On the contrary, populism is on the rise in the west, and has reached unprecedented influence since the end of the second world war.
Trump and other populist political platforms like the National Front, UKIP, the Danish People's Party, Norwegian Progress Party etc and virtually every conservative party in Eastern Europe are a growing pattern. And they are here to stay.
You can believe that all you want but I'm telling you, the Europeans, like most other people out there in the world already believe in their living even if not in principle, are once again starting to realize that separation is the only lasting solution to the problem of human tribalism.
