    The sultanate existed until 1920, there are a lot of fascists reminiscing about the days when Turkey was an empire. The “rule britannica” analogue I guess. Or Reichsbürger in germany. Seriously every country in europe has them I think.

    Turkey was an empire a bit over a hundred years ago and whatever brainworms you can find in Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Italy etc. you can also find there. Turkey is an oppressor nation.

      it’s funny because all of their current geopolitical relevance is tied up in their former position relative to the ussr and its current position relative to russia, and that is so broken that it’s been in the hands of one plutocrat for the last 25 years. these dumbass ottoman revisionists don’t understand that they already have the corrupt theocratic monarchy they’re dreaming about, they’re just obsessed with the aesthetic characteristics and upset about vote and that people don’t like lebased grey wolf genocidaires anymore. even though they do.

        They don’t have the theocratic monarchy they’re dreaming about because they don’t own land that belongs to another nation. The while point of empire. Or at least they don’t think they do, since they dont think about kurdistans occupied territory as another nations.
