Why do people say Turkiye instead of Turkey? It’s not like we call Germany Deutschland or China Zhongguo, so I don’t see why Turkey gets the special treatment.
Because it was mandated by the same lunatic that put a country where 80% of the population live in the +2 GMT zone into year-round summer time. It’s doubly stupid since it only affects interactions in english, people using other languages still go with whatever it was before.
So why are people going along with it?
Why do people go along with silly fascists anywhere? Because the liberal opposition has failed to convince the people after having quashed leftist movements.
But if you’re asking about these specific policies, media control. Most of the time people don’t even know what they’re going along with.
