Turkish Spring ?

[LeftEyeNine]

Primarily a peaceful demonstration to stop the demolishing of "Gezi Parkı" -a tiny park that connects to the infamous Taksim Square that was to be replaced with a mall after its destruction- turned into a fierceful chain of events following the undiscriminated, overpowered, violently inproportionate handling from the police.

The mainstream Turkish media is almost silent, only because of the fear of their bosses from Recep Tayyip Erdogan (RTE), only a few not-so-much-popular independent and opposite media are giving live feeds from the massive uprising happening around Taksim right now, into its 20th hour now.

There are casualties -an Egyptian woman hit in the head with gas canister, another Turkish citizen of Palestinian origin under intensive care following his head hemorrhage surgery, Aylin trampled under a TOMA, there are unconfirmed acts of undiluted violence of people with losing their limbs and so on.

It went so far as that neighboring military foundations have been helping the protestors with first aid kits and gas masks while some of them have come into clash with police.

Meanwhile, CNN Intl., Al Jazeera, several Norwegian, Danish channels as well as Reuters are connecting Taksim to the world -Taksim, a place maybe the most exposable to widespread attention under normal circumstances, which are non-existent following the expected authoritarian management of RTE and his ruling party.

To whomever still thinks Turkey "progressed" in last 10 years:

UP YOUR ARSES.

WE'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH OPPRESSION IN OUR LIFETIMES. YEAH, EVEN YOUR COMMONLY-HATEFUL-FOR-YEARS MILITARY-BASED REGIME DID NOT GO THIS FAR.

SCREW YOUR MALLS, SOVIET-LIKE BLOCKS OF FABRICATED LIFESTYLES, HIGHWAYS AND S*IT.

WE WANT FREEDOM. TO DRINK, WANDER, F*CK AND SPEAK AS WE LIKE.

Shall this be a sparkle to the wildfire to burn down the agressively capitalist, USA-Israel-politics oriented mindless government the people have been deceived by being able to sink into debt freely -nothing else.

Oh no, I'm not buying yet another "even this connects to USA :/ ?" reaction. News have whoever are in hands with each other in shaping Middle East -as if we ever asked for it. Role models are easy to spot.

Thank you.
