Yeah. :|

But I guess this thread was about Erdogan once; not even about Turkey or the Turkish people, much less the Russian people and the oscillating extent of the slab of land they were accidentally born on.

But, heck, this thread now perpetually seems to be about random Russian state propaganda deemed unfit for one particular country that has, in the past, been occupied by then Russian governments at the drop of a hat, and is watching the undeniably imperialist efforts of Russia's present leader with justly growing concern. :|

I love the Russian and Turkish people, and in particular the two dozen freelancers I have the honor of working with; and of course, Pussy Riot. Who doesn't love Pussy Riot?

For this love, I'll take the downvotes, with pride.

Having such a high vote baricade is indeed a certain sign that a big party tries to silence opposition. Together with controling the media and arresting journalists and many other things I'm currently inclined to say that Turkey isn't a democracy anymore or maybe a dysfunctional democracy. In this case, what do numbers say anymore? Who knows how much percent he would get if the press was free, if the general climate of suppression wouldn't exist, if the vote baricade would be much lower? Nobody knows.

So one cannot really give much on these numbers, unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against any Turkish citizen. But I think the country is currently rather going down the drain. More freedom, more democracy and more secularity would do much good but unlikely to happen soon, I guess.

It's always the same old story:
The dictators of the world don't like it if one laughs about them.

have you been in Turkey at least once in your life?

a) The series of articles on "Troll factory" was part of discrimination campaign that rolled out at Ukraine events. The "suddenly" factor is huge indicator about absence of its neutrality and validity (Saddam also had "suddenly" used the C weapons, exactly before war; Kadaffi & Assad also were "suddenly" evil and so on).

b) US government have likewise issued publically available applications to own equivalent "troll army", which were available to download from official US websites. In 2011, I was able to actually read the official application forms for "spreading democracy and supporting homeland" - no idea if they are available now.

On behalf of this, please answer a rhetorical question wither the US govt "media" agents (trolls) are anti-obama?

On the table which I posted earlier, the russian "troll army" - in case its not be product of yellow liberast fake factory (alternative press) fun-fiction (see modern Ukraine press for a bold example), the troll army would belong to (D) "puppet".

Personally, I believe this russian "troll army" is a huge fake. Its utterly unprofessional and leaking for any secret operation - and such leakage cost would be very reputation damaging, especially in the background of political conflicts at precisely the time point.

I would start such a thing like USA does - on some closed down location, to begin with. I hope logic is your friend.

Please don't edit posts once I responded, because this is a very low conversation method.
Also, I am neither Alexander Litvinenko, nor I consider people like him to be any good.

Litvinenko was USSR run-over ex-KGB/FSB agent, who was very similar to Snowden, but differed in several aspects. From what I was able to collect the days he was liquidated:

1) He wanted to sell information to the highest bidder - to representatives of the highest power group cycles.
2) The information was not to be given out to generic public, as such he was a running over agent and not whistleblower.
3) Information was highly political and probably discrimiinating against individual persons.

I want to remind you, that in current USA someone like Litvinentko wouldve been poisoned, then shot, then poisoned again and jailed for 1400 years - with controlled media immediately calling him canibal, pedophile, bank robber, weapon and drug dealer - all at once. With Guantanamo, stone-age information extraction methods are likewise not a problem.

I am not a big fan of current USA, but indeed there are countries much worse.
Current Russia is not on this list, but probably also not on the "better" list. Russia is under constant massive informational attack since Putin came to power and reversed exteranally-issued decomposition into country development.

If I were within circles of the foreign power clan, I would do exactly this against Russia, because its independent development would be not in my interest. Thats reality, unfortunately.

That pretty much constites my viewpoint. I find Turkey very progressive and independent for islamic country in good sense of this word; but Erdogan's public image and his actual policy are quite different and ... evil to the extent that they might very well endanger existance of EU, both political and physical.

I think he is trying to build an islamistic empire, which will bring a lot of casualties at same time brainwashing public using media to "heroize" them. Such an empire would contrast with modern values of personal freedoms, would contrast with US and Israel policy and would follow in steps of ISIS.

yup.

Me.

Bravo GOG staff, bravo for the title change! Racism? That's ok. Russian propaganda? No problem. Saying that Hitler did nothing wrong? Fine. But "fuck Erdogan"? Now that's just going too far! We do have some standards here you know!

You forgot American propaganda. :(

Also, multiple references to "faggots" on the Russian forum, among other things. It's an excellent place for a reality check when I feel an overabundance of love for humanity.

Dude, its their place, their server & politics are a dirty topic. Lets not put off flame with kerosine.
Fagot is a russian anti-tank rocket, which is similar to Javelin.
Fagot is russian word and means "basson".

Last time f**k became Flower XD

Don't need to go to the Russian forum. Licurg was happy to call me that right here.

I just hope this thread gets closed.

Oh, and that GOG disables writing "ERDOGAN" in capital letters. Just to be on the safe side.

He called you an anti-tank weapon? :P
