TURKISH INVASION: Patriotism

21 May 2007

Patriotism

Tim Newman of White Sun of the Desert has wisely posted the difference of American and Russian patriotism

Americans love their country and hate those who don’t agree.

Russians don’t love their country and hate those who agree.

I think the Turkish version similarly coincides with the Russian one...

About this blog and me in particular

Hello...My name is Dinc Arslan. I am an Istanbul native, a Vegan sympathizer, a high-tech salesman and business developer by day and come nightfall I talk, write, draw and update my facebook status about how and when I talked, wrote and drew. I am suspicious of organized religion, colorful advertising and know-it-alls. I listen to electronic music made by analog machinery, yet I adore sparkling mineral water with a hint of lemon. If you feed me after midnight, I multiply. My name, when translated literally, means 'Healthy Lion' which I find terrifyingly exotic. I DJ for friends and foe and focus on mixing techniques rather than entertaining the audience.

I was born in Turkey in the dawn of 1980s and survived the Cold War, developed a brand loyalty to clinical democracy, a proud METU - TED - Bogazici MBA alumni, was a free-willing expat for roughly over 5 years in Russia (the capital of the evil empire and endurance drinking), Ukraine and Belarus and still a voluntary corporate slave of global capitalism.

This blog is about what other guys are afraid to say or simply don't care...
