I like how the pro-coup crowd in the me thread tactfully ignore mentioning how pretty much every coup in Turkey since the 60's was equally as much about suppressing Islamic "reactionaries" (as they called them as) as they where about killing communists

Oh yeah you definitely need a snack before dinner. I always forget that and when I get home I eat everything in the house because I'm so hungry but also because I'm a greedy bastard.

Unlikely but not impossible that some Hizmet folks could have been brought in on the plot, they had surpassed the military as Erdogans enemy no 1 and they are well placed within the civil service (thanks to the movements emphasis on university education) to be key enough in keeping things running in the event of a success - could have been more of a "listen were not going to support you in this but if it happens weren't not going to resign en mass" kind of thing

he's like "you know where women belong as well as i do," and i was waiting for there to be a punchline to make it not horribly sexist, but. it never came. the music stopped and it never came.

art in general is p dumb. but at least straightforward poo poo i can appreciate whether the artist is a good drawer or not. when it's super abstract to the point that it's not impossible for a baby to recreate the same painting, i don't even know what i'm looking at.
