I hadn't heard of her, but this is sad. Esp in corona times. Politics is so dirty, esp in the developing world. Egomaniacs

Solidarity to Grup Yorum

I was surprised this wasn't posted before.

turkey is another country plagued by rural idiots

If only idiocy was the only problem

Well thats some serious fucking dedication to say the least. Dying from hunger is a *bad time*

this sounds horrible, rest in peace

Solidarity with every musician in prison, but it's also worth remembering that fascists will never care about peaceful protest.

It's just a really sad loss

Turkey is a country ruled by an authoritarian islamist extremists incarcerating people over anything with zero due process so its a bit more complicated than just "rural idiots." These people are probably never getting released regardless of guilt or innocence. Not that they'd even be wrong for rebelling against fucking Turkey.

Adding more info to the conversation, authorities let loose chasing protesters coming to pay their respects during her funeral. Even in death, her presence remains important.

288 days? woah. That's.... some dedication. I'd never be able to pull something like that off and I hope at least she found out meaning in her sacrifice

ELI5 how she survived 288 days with no food?

This is incredible. What a powerful human being.

fuck erdogan

@LunaticSoul I can't be 100% sure, but I think typically they feed off water with sugar and vitamins, juices, etc.

I have known a number of Turks over the last few years, and since they were all massive atheists I'm starting to think that Turkey has somewhat of a boomer problem.

damn that’s powerful.. didn’t know of her until now. rip

Many of turkey’s citizens live in the countryside, and are way less educated than city dwellers on average, and these people being more religious vote in that retard erdogan, while erdogan’s support in istanbul is small compared to the national average. This thing goes for many countries, like Iran

incredibly stupid post by gyro 'sjw music' mania

Fighting injustice is never a stupid reason to die for. Her story will be told and inspire many other people to fight against similar injustice. Her death will have more meaning than the majority of our lives will sitting here rating thrash albums from the 80s.

yea honestly gyro that's a pretty abysmal take

All the privileges we enjoy are built on the graves of dead activists. So like idk maybe be a little humble.

I’m new here so please excuse my ignorance, but is Gyro always a piece of shit?

yikes gyro

Go fuck yourself gyro

Wow, that is fucking awful. What a person though, to actually go so far to sacrifice her life. Incredible.

Awful

This is very sad. R.I.P.

Fuck off, Gyromania.

At the very least I hope her death won't be in vain. That's a shit situation to be in.

Gyromania coming in clutch with the smoothbrain takes at any opportunity

"Solidarity with every musician in prison, but it's also worth remembering that fascists will never care about peaceful protest."

Hunger strikes worked in Northern Ireland as they helped change public opinion

What more could you expect from someone who 5s SOPHIE while in the same breath going on transphobic rants on a music site?

Pretty fuckin sure Gyro doesnt know what the gray matter in his brain is supposed to do.

gyro's list of good reasons for hunger strikes would be being banned for racial slurs on twitter

Very unfortunate, nothing but respect for the resolve.
Idiotic this kind of thing still happens because of certain people.

@smaugman Well far-right extremism is rising in Europe and USA as well. I don't know if living away from cities or religion is the only reason Turkey suffers from a regime flirting with totalitarianism.

god, this is horrendous news

I can't find Gyro's quote but I would love to read that

what is this thread?

Horrible news, fuck Erdogan and his goons.

I feel like this one has been pruned quite a bit.

gyro's post was something alone the lines of "incredibly stupid way to die"

yeah it was "incredibly stupid reason to starve yourself to death"

Yeah no my bad, totally a great reason to die at 28. We need more like her committing suicide. What a hero

What’s the non-pussy way to go about it

"What more could you expect from someone who 5s SOPHIE while in the same breath going on transphobic rants on a music site?"

It's almost as if he isn't a transphobe and never was and was having a completely different conversation but got generalized because people are really good at doing that when they disagree with someone's ooinion on something. Very strange to say the least, will require more data, by which I mean not actually assessing the thing and instead bandwagoning on the consensus of idiots.

Lmao. Riots and shit have a pretty high fail rate but killing yourself to try to spur on change is a pretty misguided way to rebel since it won't do shit and she could have done so much more by living

gyro thinks those uppity blacks should have been thankful for the white men freeing them, now they want equal rights? disgraceful

Massa was gonna let them go one day ok.

don't come on the site super often anymore, glad to see gyro getting shit on for this

solidarity with all of them, what a horrible fucking struggle RIP

@gyro read anything about the Troubles you fucking idiot, or the Buddhist crisis in south Vietnam lmao

Nothing you can tell me to read is going to convince me that committing suicide at 28 to send a message - which ultimately will go unnoticed (outside of pussy ass websites like this with libtard hippies like you) and forgotten a week later when some other news story is at large - is a worthy pursuit and anything other than a tragic loss of life. Imagine the decades she could have spent towards actually affecting change

imagine the mountains of shite posts we'd have been saved from if you'd done it instead

you straight up wouldn't know who she was if it wasn't for this though, so how likely would it really have been that she would have changed anything making music for decades with most of her colleagues in prison?

This is absolutely depressing news
RIP

Would't be Sputnik without a thread like this going to shit.
Anyway RIP.

Her death made me sad but this thread cheered me up

imagine not knowing who bobby sands is

Gyro contradicting himself saying dying is dumb because alive you can accomplish so much more, then saying she would have accomplished nothing in her life so she's better off dead

10/10 would contradict again

"It's almost as if he isn't a transphobe and never was and was having a completely different conversation but got generalized because people are really good at doing that when they disagree with someone's ooinion on something."

"GUYS I WAS JUST HAVING A CONVERSATION WHERE I MADE TRANSPHOBIC ARGUMENNTS IM NOT TRANSPHOBIC" 

I think I was wrong about you Sint

Geez Myth not the best at detecting sarcasm eh
