pkk is short for partiya karkeren kurdistan, which in kurdish means kurdistan workers party. they're definitely not liberal, not in the name and not in practice. but the ways they operate is always "icky". their actions regularly align with the us hegemony. "kurdish problem" has always been an important issue in turkey, and for the last 40 years pkk has been the dominant force to agitate that.

everytime i see this man, it reminds me of the time when he was splashed at guantanamo bay. splashing was an act of defiance by the prisoners, gathering their only weapon, their shit, and throwing at the people they hated the most. and everytime it is clear that he deserved every bit of it. horrible monster.
that noisy minority still occupies the land, destroys buildings indicriminately, slaughters everyone left and right, checks every item in the genocide and war crime longlist.
hospital bombing is a revered pastime of the zionist government. why would you doubt THIS one?

how are they similar atrocities?
did hamas lock 2.5 million people in the worlds most dense open air prison?
did hamas systematically crushed their buildings and not let concrete inside?
did hamas shoot little kids just for throwing rocks?
did hamas systematically murdered press, medics on the field?
did hamas control israelis food intake?
did hamas very deliberately snipe the knees of people peacefully protesting?
did hamas cut electricity, water, food?
did hamas bombed places that palestinian prisoners stayed?
did hamas tell people to leave the city and bomb the only way out?
what did hamas do? the only thing left to do when you do all of those things to a people.
As a leftist I guess I might have the most ridiculous getting fired story for politics.
We had a social uprising some years ago, and had a coup attempt some fewer years ago. After that attempt they tried to get rid of some people to "calm things down".
They were trying to get rid of me because of my "left leanings" and this was the perfect smoke screen. First they accused me of being a coup sympathizer, that didn't stick. Then they said I was a proponent of that social uprising (which was true) but they couldn't find any proof. So they went with the second best thing, which is:
A photograph of my wife, when she was a student (at that time, we didn't even know each other), drinking sourcherry juice out of a wine glass (which they thought was wine).
You might be saying "how the fuck is that even remotely related to anything?", to which I say "you are 100% right" but I guess drinking wine means being leftist and consequently possible social upriser (is that a word?).
All great points, and i'm really privilaged to be able to say no to all of them.
BUT (and it's a big but)
Not everyone is lucky to be able to speak their minds and receive no ill for it. Most of us are living in a hypercapitalist society and one of the milestones of capitalism is obedience. For being docile we are rewarded with the chance to live another day.
I have always spoken my mind about everything, and i have mostly been hurt by it. My privilage is, I guess, that the work I'm doing is efficient enough that some people choose to tolerate me. Not everyone is in that position and we certainly shouldn't ostracize people for it.
up until roger's departure most of their albums were like symphonies. after that it all turned into guitar music. that is a tastement to roger's talent.
