The dynasty that took that city in 1453 is long gone

Occupation? Dude most everybody who lives there is Turkish now. What would “retaking Constantinople” even mean that wouldn’t involve horrible things happening to innocent people.

Nice try Erdogan. Don’t you know this is an app for college students and not autocratic Turkish presidents.

It’s very different if it’s “take Constantinople back” as a bit or if it’s in a Pete Hegseth serious way.

more like a “Turkey should gtfo of Cyprus at the very least” and “Turkey should pay billions in reparations or face BDS style isolation”

Oh no the Turkish government fucking sucks. They’re doing settler colonialism in Cyprus. They destroyed the Greek communities of Constantinople, Imbros, and Tenedos in recent memory despite agreeing not to as part of the population exchange agreement. They’re currently brutalizing Kurdish communities. And they as government policy deny their genocidal actions towards Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians.

The destructions of the Greek communities in Imbros and Tenedos is so acutely evil to me, because not only was it within living memory, there is no way to obfuscate it under the guise of war (like with Cyprus), and the Turkish government specifically agreed in writing that they would not do it.

I just think the crusader larper shit which dehumanizes Muslims is cringe and fully assumed that’s what this post was.

I am just very hesitant about any stuff which seems “deus-vult”-esque lately with how things have been going. And I think very often individual Muslim people are incorrectly treated as invaders without a right to live somewhere (most acutely with Palestinians).
