I consider myself a Tengriist

Tengri literally means God. In that case you're basically a Godist (theist) ? If not, what are the differences between theism and tengrism? I'm genuinely curious.

Tengri doesn't just mean god, it represents the universe as a whole. You could say it's a personification of the universe.

Some major components of Tengrism are:

Ancestor worship: Respecting your ancestors, for it was through their struggles that you exist. Respect, for your ancestors gives you both guidance and purpose.

Animism: Anything can contain a soul/spirit. Including trees, mountains and certain man-made objects

Shamanism: Shamans play a big role in Tengrism, they act as messengers between reality and other realms of existence.

There's a lot more to it, would love to explain more when I'm not busy.

Tengrism and Ancient Turkic mythology/symbols

Tengrism is the original religion of the Turks. In Tengrism there is only one god, Tengri. Tengri is the eternal blue sky. However there are also other deities. The values which Turks live by today, are remnants from Tengrism. There are some practices, such as tying colourful ribbons on trees...

generalizations are always the wrong way to follow and an indication of bias but still I am gonna be honest with you bro...they have impressive production capacity and therefor impressive economical power... yet you are never observing the manifestation of the DNA of a Super power... all you see is widespread corruption everywhere

They've doomed themselves with the TFR being as low as it is too, this early on in development arc. Some are predicting population decline to as low as <1 billion by 2050 and <500 million by 2100. These are going to be incredible stresses for society thats also fairly xenophobic at same time.

Large part of society is blackpilled/nihilist in PRC, they cant be easily kickstarted to make families again especially in pricey urban areas where they want to work/live.....life is just spending second no.1 to second no. 2 trillion etc in as epicurean floating way as possible ( a problem in the western dystopia as well).

I looked at the pension fund size for west (major ageing problems + debt there too) compared to PRC. Holy @#$%, the latter is pennies to the dollar for whats needed (even with conservative family support structure being better in PRC overall....but that is fraying now too).

I think the age of superpowers is receding, its going to be bunch of major powers each with complex pros and cons that they have resistance to learning + implementing + correcting (internally and externally)..... and also the unknown regarding things like AI, medical tech etc changing factors regarding this too.

Societies that can remain as whitepilled as possible, TFR as close to 2 as possible while developing economically/technologically as far as possible too will have the raw edge over others....but none will be overarching dominant given there is looming greying costs that are gonna kick everyone in the butt.

Lets continue the conversation in that Tengri thread? I'd also like to explore what @Yasar_TR mentioned, similarities in theologies search for truth etc in the various civilisations (from bronze to iron to modern age, once we figured out farming and had the time for civilisational order/hierarchies and then larger pondering questions in the "beyond").

That thread is too specific. Broader discussions of distinct theological developments in different parts of the world won't be appropriate there. We need a general thread if admins allows.

Allowed. I was thinking of dedicating a whole section to those types of topics, if I can fix my computer on Friday night I'll create it. In the meantime, feel free to open a theology thread in the General section.

Turkish soft power in action.

Azerbaijanis be like if Turkiye wins Euro it means we won it too.

Gotta love this wholesome moment.

TAI pesented its products to algeria from kaan to anka-3 in an industrial production fair
confirmation of joint local manufacturing of anka-S in algeria
seems like slowly but surely a partnership in the spirit of old time and joint history is coming together between algeria and turkey

Guys lets stick to topic please!

Thank you!

I am not sure if this will be a good result for Turkiye and Turks in Europe. The rise of the far right in Europe is not good for Turkiye and especially Turks in Europe. So far the situation is not very promising

Exactly, celebrating Macron's loss is not very wise at this stage.

I believe France going populist would be a net benefit to Turkey. Not because they will cease to be hostile, but because they will cease to be a power. Entire European continent has a huge demographic problem, UK left the union and Germany is rapidly deindustrializing. I don't see the problem solving capability in French institutions to solve or even endure these issues. Especially if (and when) they undergo a hostile takeover by the populists.

Interesting perspective

But ahead is Le Pen, the far right.
Of course, it would be better if the French chose this оaf

Whats interesting Marine Lepens father was actually technically friends with Necmettin Erbakan lmao.

I think they kept in contact with each other which was pretty unusual.

When the Far Right and the Islamists hate each other but tend to agree with issues like Religion and Conservative values.

You need more then 32% to rule in France,so who is going to help them rule?
Example:the Netherlands
The PVV(far right) won with 37% but cant ''rule'',together with 3 more parties they ''formed'' a government.
Lets see how long it lasts(never long).

It is unusual and at the same time not so much
Both of them knew who was the real enemy.
I don't think that Jean Marie likes his daughter very much.
You see , the last, at least semi official Crusade, was by Francisco Franco.
Basically he and Cardinal of Spain announced it. It was primarily against the Atheists etc
80000 Moroccans took part in that fight. Majority as volunteers. They were the best payed units in the patriotic army. They were well respected.
Now , take a look at this fake right wing.
Wilders is dying his hair.
Fascism is noble ideology.

At least one good news from today. Turkey is working on creating a deal between Somalia and Ethiopia.
