3 months state of emergency is in effect, meaning everyone supporting
   erdogan is allowed to do anything they like, and everyone opposing him
   is allowed to be done anything by the police (which is de facto
   situation for a few years but is now de jura). City center has been
   closed down for "democracy festival" where a stage is built with giant
   amplifiers, flags hung everywhere, etc. (you'd expect curfews and all
   in a state of emergency, right?) People pressuring the mayor for late
   night buses have been ignored and students protesting for cheaper
   transportation have been detained for years, and now mayor is giving
   free bus service any hour of day just so people can gather at the
   squares. Such hypocrisy... Erdogan has been planting followers of gulen
   in army and other bureaucratic positions for years, and now you can be
   blamed for supporting the coup just for sharing an old video of erdogan
   praising gulen. A massive purge took place, tens of thousands of
   bureaucrats, teachers, army personnel have been arrested, many
   institutons, schools and organizations have been closed down. We even
   fear to make jokes in whatsapp, rumor has it that policemen ask to see
   your phone too when they do a routine check at the city center.

     does resemble socialism, but it's still total bullshit in many other
     ways. (i say this as an atheist, living in turkey btw)

   You’re not from the Castle, you’re not from the village, you are
   nothing. Unfortunately, though, you are something, a stranger.
