1. What a shithead.

2. Step one. Identify an enemy to focus the discontent of the people against.

3. “Old man yells at cloud”

4. Maybe don’t help descend our world into shitty
   fascism and climate crisis, and give us all a chance at a decent life, and we would consider becoming parents again.

5. He doesnt have anything else to talk about.

6. Yes, those evil gays forcing people to join them.

7. Remove LGBT and he would have gotten it right 

8. I read a post/article here in the past week that listed countries with dicators and their declining birth rates. Turkey was on that list.

9. Hey Recep, it was a genocide against the Armenians and you are a thundercunt.

   Just thought I’d clarify that for you.

10. Of course he blamed them… same as Trump & every other Authoritarian.

11. So it’s not his mismanagement of the country, bad economics and bad living conditions for the people to feel comfortable to have kids.

    Those damn gays and anti government people, it’s like they want to change the government for the better, they can’t understand they have the best. /S

12. Bro we have a population crisis… too many fucking people

13. The 20 countries with the lowest fertility rates in 2024

14. Erdogan himself is particularly responsible for the devaluation of the Lira and a cost of living crisis, due to his geopolitical and economic policies, which dare I say, were fascist and oppressive and obviously affected the birthrate.

    It’s him trying to create a scapegoat for a problem he caused, like all wannabe autocrats.

15. Less people is good for world, not so good for ceo and business people though.

16. Fascism and oppression?? Isnt he the one doing that actually 🙄

17. If he is the government then where is fascism and opression coming from?

18. Every dictator needs a scapegoat.

19. Cimate crises, increasing wage/wealth inequality, war, political instability literally everywhere, microplastics, decrease in life expectancy, decrease in quality of life, distrust in basically every major institution across the world…

    But no, blame the people who suffer just like the rest of us. The problem isn’t a ‘horisontal’ us vs them, it’s a ‘vertical’ one.

20. Funny how it is always “abortion , LGBTQ , liberal “ etc when the actual cause of this slowdown is the rising cost of living.

    India for instance is showing a dramatic decrease in TFR and we aren’t woke as far as I know .

21. Yeah, it definitely not the fact that globally, having kids is expensive, social environments are not what they used to or ought to be. Scapegoat gills who have nothing to do with but your own incompetence and greed. What a shithead- as @McGrawHell rightly says.

22. How about blaming Free Market Capitalism, low wages, high cost of living that prevents people from having a large family? No. This guy is pure bullshit that wants people to be distracted from the actual truth. The wealthy and large corporations (sponsored by governments) are robbing the working class and treating them (us) like slaves.

23. Yeah, it’s the gays, definitely has nothing to with him fucking up central bank of his own country and cause economic downturn.

24. Should blame the people who voted for him

25. You know maybe if you didn’t have such insane inflation, people would feel like they could afford children? I seem to remember it peaking around 70% in 2022.

26. This is what Trump will say about America in the next year.

27. Ah, the putin playbook

28. Turkey used to be known for good things and now every time we hear about it it’s mostly something shit. What happened one wonders. 

29. PKK dissolved, so now it’s time for new external internal threat to wage war against and blame for crisis.

30. Yeah and Russia which is anti -lgbt has no population crisis.

    Oh wait….

31. How’s persecuting LGBT been working for Russia’s birth rates?

    Oh they had to classify their population data because it hit a 200 year low? Oh my.

32. It’s been a while since I heard Erdogan say something batshit to rile up his base. I guess he was due.

33. or maybe authoritarianism makes guys limp and women dry…

34. Peoples are just dumb as shit tbh if they keep falling for the lgbtq as the problems in their lives….

35. This guy is defiant on running his country to the ground. Maybe he should just stfu for a change.

36. Blame the Jews✅️ Blame the gays✅️ Blame the Blacks TBA

37. Ah yes, it’s the gays again. So fresh, never before seen made-up enemies.

38. If hes president, then HE is the fascist and opressor innit?

39. Calling himself out. Gutsy move

40. Imagine tanking the economy of your country so hard that people stop having kids, then blaming gays for it.

41. thank god he didn’t blamed Israel and India

42. This comedy skit comes to mind (in swedish but with subtitles in english)

    (I promise it is not a rickroll)

43. How is this guy’s back not against a wall?

44. Meanwhile children are killed in fires, train derailments, earthquakes, traffic accidents, by stray bullets, by hospital grifters, by their rapist relatives and by their fathers, and most of the people responsible for these go free, for certain if they’re supporting his party. Why the hell would a woman bring a child to this country when she knows she won’t even get justice if the child dies?

45. Fuck I’m so fucking tired of this!

    **Queer people are *NOT* the fucking problem!**

46. Oh yes. The gay oppressive nazi. That’s definitely a thing.

47. Idk, maybe the ideology he follows is inherently toxic and against the pride folks

48. Turk here, there is only one person mentioned that is oppressive in this post. I can’t name him since I don’t want to go to jail

49. Wait, if he’s blaming fascism and oppression, is he blaming himself?

50. Not the crippling inflation?
