No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I align more to the right, but in Turkey political leaning doesn't really matter, the thing that matters is whether you're siding with Erdogan or not. Like, Imamoglu is a president candidate supported by the left leaning party CHP, but I would absolutely vote for him against our current dictator.
CHP are Kemalists. idk how anyone worshipping that genocider could be called left-leaning (maybe if you're an ethno-nationalist?). I'd say the real left wing in Turkey would be the Kurdish people fighting for autonomy, the feminists and queers fighting the cops in the streets and the union movements.
Mustafa Kemal has absolutely nothing to do with any genocide when the whole thing occured under Ottoman Empire (specifically, under Enver Pasha's command), CHP is one of the parties that rallied the protests against Erdogan, and want better laws for all sorts of people like lgbtq, immigrants and kurds.
I personally disagree with giving more rights to immigrants and don't like the idea of negotiations with terrorist organizations to divide the country, but am in favor of improving any citizen's life overall regardless of their sex, religion or ethnicity.
I'd suggest you open a history book not written by Turkish nationalists for once. I found this NPR episode on his involvement in the Armenian and Kurdish genocides enlightening: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/26/1198908163/the-three-faces-of-ataturk
if you disagree with immigrants having human rights, that's just fascism my friend.
also you calling Kurds terrorists says a lot about how you're actually just a genocide denier cosplaying as "just an average person without a political position"
I'm not calling Kurds terrorists. I'm calling seperatist groups like PKK terrorists. Any Kurd citizen living in Turkey is more than welcome to voice their opinions, which they do via own political party (which holds third to fourth place in most polls conducted recently.), I believe they're trying to negotiate a peace deal without dividing the country. There are certainly things I disagree with their methods, but peace will be better than war overall.
I am not against immigrants themselves having basic rights, but I don't see the point in giving them extra benefits, life is sink or swim anywhere. Why does my taxes fund immigrants who have made 9 kids they know they cant afford to get extra funding from the government? Why people who cannot read Turkish at all are appointed citizenship to vote to see who governs my country? Fuck that.
