For those of you not paying attention (because Middle Eastern country, amirite?), Turkey followed the neoliberalism to fascism pipeline (in this case Islamofascism) almost a quarter of a century before the US with Christofascism.
Lots to learn here and a glimpse into your future in the US unless you can do something about it. (Hint: appeasement and compliance do not work.)
Here’s a talk I gave at an event in Berlin eight years ago against Erdoğan’s representative and regime. I also haven’t been back to Turkey for eight years. This is not a coincidence.

(İmamoğlu’s people actually invited me to give a talk a few years ago and I asked them if they could guarantee my safety if I flew into Istanbul. Needless to say, the answer was no.)
