I registered today as well, but just because you guys were the only ones that I can chat about this incident properly. I'm not carrying any political, trolling or derailing agenda. I am a casual forum lurker, mostly in TL etc.
Other than that, besides the terrorist being a complete jerk, I kinda agree on some highlights he made. I'm not against migrating, or people deciding where to live as long as they met the conditions of a citizenship in their desired countries. But when I was travelling Paris, I felt something was wrong as well, too many Arabs, less whites and whites were so old or irrelevant to each other compared to these communes, who usually stick together, aid each other and so all. But I did not blame any migrant for that, I only thought it was the outcome of imperial past of France, enabling mass migration due to their forced language education in colonies and of course, their lazy solution to fullfill low wage labor with these people.
I still highly believe "good fences make good neighbors" and natural way of mixing cultures, not forced political mesaures. Par example, my country, Turkey, you probably think is out of subject what Europe has been facing for too many years but it suffers the same.
Before Syrian War, we were 85 million populated country that were barely collecting taxes from our eastern part, since as you all know, some parts of the kurdish population (roughly 6 million) is separatists and not into paying taxes that much, now it's +4 million refugees who are registered and roughly 1 million not registered, as the numbers show, Syrian babies born in Turkey is much more than the Syrian babies are born in Syira now, which will hit us in the future badly, considering they will demand language in mother language and force their culture to us as the time goes by.
Turkey has been a nationalistic country, starting from the last era of Ottomans, influenced by the Frenchs that made Young Turks very patriotic and against Ottoman rule, producing Ataturk and then making Turkey a nation state, fueling Kurdish uprising which was always there and so on. We have been struggling with the idea of umbrella nationality, not only because the Turkish oppression on Kurds, but also because of the Kurds being totally from another language tree, another culture and political roots, which is a mixture of maoism and marxism. Now, we will have another soon to be 10 million minority that will reject paying taxes, that will claim mostly the lands Kurds are also claiming, and we'll have another big crisis what Ottomans were facing before being thorn apart. There are already Syrian gangs in some parts of Istanbul, who are constantly clashing with the Kurdish mafia (who is running the drug cartel mostly) and starting to get some heavy public disgust, as one incident Istanbul showed, some Arabs were harassing young girls who wore light dresses, recording them with phones, ended up they're getting fucked up by some Turkish neighborhood collectively.
This dirty deal Erdogan had with Merkel, to absorb all the refugees in Turkey will in the long term, will harm Turkey and therefore the Europe as well. Most people in Europe thinks that Arabs and Turks are culturally similar, therefore its more suitable that the Arabs will migrate to Turkey, but I'm almost 100% sure that I am more close to Greeks, Balkan people or slavic people in terms of culture and daily life than the Arabic. Their language is different, their customs are different, their way of dressing is different, their logic and understanding of law & state is different, and most importantly, the way they live Islam, despite the both cultures are sunni, is crucially different.
As a person who worked with Cypriot Greeks, Syrian Arabs and having a Belarussian girlfriend, I can say with the Greeks we were like friends, having the same taste and opinions about the life and so all, but the Arabs were not even attending to any meetings post-work because there is alcohol there and we were mixed with opposite gender, whom they usually not prefer to talk that much.
Do I care about these things that much? Well, if they're running happy country in their homelands and not causing any global threat or balance issues, I'm happy that they have this different ideas about daily life, there are some people who thinks cows are holy after all, or there are monks who are not having any sex all their lives. I don't mind, it's a damn free world, but if they're migrating in a society and start pushing their life style there, which contradicts the very essence of the public opinions of respective country, it will almost all the times gonna cause big trouble. Turks are patriotic, and they will never be okay with the idea of teaching any other language in the schools, or they will never be okay pay more taxes because we oppressed 100 years ago some people. This culture will never come to the terms of understanding it, because there's a huge hubris heritage and it's stupidly not possible to revert. I firmly believe, we should accept the Turks as they are as we're accepting Cubans as they are and Russians as they are and not run a global agenda for social engineering. That's the main reason I cut my support for globalism and liberalism. They push their design so much and the order of the system they're building, which replaces cheap labor force with foreigns, makes all the white europeans alienated from their society. This is very personal idea but during my whole life, I've obserbed that if the cheap labor is replaced with minorities, the mass population is starting to live in gated communities and leading to a life of loneliness, self centiric tinder swipes and life time, whereas, the actual people who are running the streets, spending time together, mixing with other faces normally (as I plan to marry my Belarussian one as an act of love!) are making more strong public stances about any case they will face, be that War, be that referendum, be that running local business in their zones. That's why I still believe the idea of nation state, or any refugee is going under some state funded education or rehabilitation is still critical. But then there will be basic human right concerns about these reforms and educations, but I think instead of putting them in cages or camps, some meetings arranged by state, where free food and music is served, where language and customs are being taught would be nice, and non attending refugees should be banned entry. I would really enjoy to go out with an arabic family, eat with them, enjoy an event with them where we exchange ideas and we show them how we live. Otherwise they will stick to each other in bulks and even refuse to communicate as they are doing now.
