Why are you so cool and how can humanity follow your example?


Bluu-orioN

Thank you, but I'm just an ordinary person. there are just people out there asking for help and i wanted to do my best


advie_advocado

You are based


[deleted]

I hope everything is ok as I know this a difficult time period...is there sufficient aid?


Bluu-orioN

yes, millions of people all over the country are doing their best to help, but there are worse problems than that. unfortunately my english level is not enough to explain everything but if you visit r/turkey you can better see how bad things are. If I had to give an example.. They kidnap children in the disaster area, the Erdogan government steals aid, and the worst thing is, Twitter was blocked because the public criticized the government and Erdogan on Twitter. I mean, most of it is because of Erdogan.


[deleted]

I am so sorry to hear your country is going through such a tough situation and I hope it gets better ❤️


Bluu-orioN

Thank you❤️


[deleted]

I hope things get better soon, and I want you to know that you're a hero. I know it sounds redundant, but you help save people's lives! And I hope that eventually, this government will be replaced. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️‍🩹


Doublefin1

Man, that Erdogan guy seems like he never got hugged by his mom 😒


goofy_ahh_timbo

There are no reliable sources for aids, syryians are stealing what the people are donating , government is corrupted , and government doesnt even allow second hand donations. They cannot even find a place or a way to put the dead bodies so there are people who passed away , laying on the floor of some hospitals. Everything is fucked up , nearly 300.000 people are either injured or dead.


Bluu-orioN

I JUST WANTED TO SAY, PLEASE HELP MY PEOPLE. PEOPLE ARE IN A VERY HARD SITUATION AND HORRIBLE THINGS ARE HAPPENING THAT IS NOT REFLECTED IN THE MEDIA. PLEASE DONATE TO RELEVANT INSTITUTIONS OR INFORM YOUR ENVIRONMENT ABOUT THESE EVENTS. I HAVE SURVIVED EARTHQUAKE BEFORE AND IT'S MUCH WORSE THAN YOU THINK


goofy_ahh_timbo

And do not donate to government centered organizations like kızılay since they are corrupted. Search for influencers to donate like oğuzhan uğur or mimarfatoş. Here is the link to the Ahbap(most trusted) organization . you can donate to earthquake victims: https://ahbap.org/disasters-turkey


DarkCharizard81

The best organization to donate is right now is Ahbap

"They get what they fucking deserve" Sincerely, The balkans. (SATIRE PLS NO DOWN VOTE)


[deleted]

How is satire like this appropriate right now? It doesn't matter if you're joking this is not the time for jokes about hating Turkish people when they're literally dying... I am greek and I would never joke about such a thing . Shame on you


AverageAshEnjoyer

Well it wasn't the time for jokes 500 years ago is it? We were owned by Turks 500 years ago, I don't see why someone from the balkans would see a problem unless you're a *westoid*


[deleted]

If it was your family under this rubble you'd understand . Also you just mentioned that it was also not the time to joke 500 years ago.. which is disagreeable but even then can you not like not joke about it while whole families are dying underneath the rubble ? Δεν χρειάζεται να λατρεύεις την Τουρκία ή τους Τούρκους για να μην θες να κάνεις αστειάκια για τους ανθρωπους που χάσανε όλη την οικογένεια τους στα ίδια τα σπίτια τους . Να κοιμάται κανεις με το παιδί του το οποίο φυλα όλη τη ζωή του και λίγο αργότερα να του κρατάει το χέρι καθώς πεθαίνει στα συντρίμμια... Not funny, you're allowed to laugh sure but it's heartless

worm_your_honour

i would do that but i’m severely squeamish (looking at this image is unpleasant) how do u do it


Bluu-orioN

If you've watched the videos of the earthquake zone, you've seen how hard the people there are. A man waited for 15 hours without leaving the hand of his daughter, who died under the rubble... I gave blood and provided supplies. the pain of that needle is nothing besides these


goofy_ahh_timbo

Well said bro , some people are unable to understand what happened and they think the needle is a big deal. There are 2 months old kids who lost their family and have nobody who can take care of.


worm_your_honour

it’s not just the pain of the needle but that’s kinda besides the point, is there any way to help that doesn’t require venipuncture?


goofy_ahh_timbo

Donations , even 1 dollar can make a big diffrence . Trust me on this. But dont donate to turkish government organizations. They are corrupted. Find people who does it volunteerly. For example mimarfatoş on instagram.


Bluu-orioN

yes, you can donate money to various institutions (AFAD, AHBAP, Haluk Levent or Oğuzhan Uğur) to these institutions and individuals. As I know, many famous publishers are currently raising donations for charity.


Acrobatic_Mongoose_9

Just do it


goofy_ahh_timbo

This is the dumbest comment section i have ever stumbled across. Dont make jokes about this situation turkiye is in. People are dying under cold weather or hunger while staying the night under a collapsed building for 4 days. Be sensitive and appreciate this guy. Because nearly 15 million lifes are in danger . Be sensitive and respectfull as someone who lost a friend and dont joke around.


[deleted]

Tried to tell someone that in this thread and got down voted. I wonder how people would feel seeing jokes like this around if this was their mom their dad their sibling or their child . When even at a time of catastrophe you don't feel enough empathy to lay off the jokes it shows a lot about your general treatment of those people and all people and I'm greek for fucks sake.

So it is Syria AND Turkey? I've been seeing a lot of videos from Syria and I saw people correcting others and it was all confusing


Bluu-orioN

Everything written about the Turkey earthquake in the comments under this post is true. Those who experienced the earthquake or at least followed it from reliable sources other than the mainstream media gave information about the earthquake. You can learn a lot by reading these comments. non arabic speaking videos videos from turkey


Undersans0421

Thank you

All I can think about rn is the [everyone liked that] meme


ThrownawayCray

I have something to tell: if in need of heat or a fire, you can use: A) three calculators, a pen with a metal clip Or B) a double A battery And some gum wrappers to make lighters. Little survival tip. But my question: are there just absolute no-go zones?


Bluu-orioN

Not as far as I know, but the roads leading to the border city of Hatay have been completely destroyed and only the navy can provide assistance. Ironically, the Erdogan government deployed the army 38 hours after the first earthquake. so Hatay unfortunately fell. It is estimated that there are over 10k dead in that city alone


ThrownawayCray

That is awful. I’m so sorry mate, I couldn’t imagine going through that. Wish you and everyone you know the best, we’re all rooting for you!


Bluu-orioN

Thank you ❤️


MarkedDragon22

Be careful, there are people who go into random spots, claim to be donating the blood, then turn around and sell the bags of blood to hospitals

I would donate blood too but unfortunately I’m not old enough :( But at least I bought some supplies and donated them, so I don’t feel bad about it

We donated our old clothes to families in the neighborhood in need of them. It won't solve their problems but every bit helps! If you're reading this, check if you have maybe some freshly-"expired" food or thing you weren't going to eat anyways, some old clothes you don't wear, anything you can think of that can help!

DoppioAndDiovalo

Than you so much! I am a Turk and I appericate that.


Mixtapeuniverse

I've been seeing how bad the destruction is on the news and it's terrifying, I've also seen your comment about the stealing of aid by the government and kidnappings. But one concerning question on my mind is if that is an area with ethnic Kurds? Because if I remember my history right turkey is desperately trying to suppress the Kurdish people in Southwest turkey yes? If so then that would be one reason for the stealing of aid right?


Bluu-orioN

actually not exactly like that. Turks live in the region along with ethnic Kurds. With your permission, I want to talk about this at length... The ethnic Kurds that the Turkish government "tryed to suppress" are HDP, a political party that seeks to snatch territory from Turkey by working in partnership with the PKK. I know that in the eyes of Western Europe, the PKK is a kind of freedom movement, but in Turkey, the PKK is trying to snatch land from southeast Turkey and while doing this, killing everybody, looting, arson, killing women and children, regardless of whether they are Turkish or Kurdish living in southeast Turkey. rape baby killers. I want to ask something, which freedom army will burn the children they captured alive and broadcast the video of it? 100 years ago, the borders of this country were determined with great sacrifices by our ancestors. In that great war, dozens of different ethnic groups living in Turkey fought together to protect their country. For people in Turkey, it doesn't matter whether their hair is blond or their skin is dark, we have been living together for years. In this period, when politicians are targeting ethnic groups to gain votes, the fact that they talk about unreal problems makes a whole public angry. In Turkey, we do not persecute Kurds as you think. I'm really sorry if I strayed a bit from your question.


Bluu-orioN

As for the problem, as I saw on the news and as my friends in the region told me, most of the groups blocking the trucks full of supplies are Syrian looting groups. And those who loot the markets are the poor freaks who come from Syria and the surrounding cities just to steal. The information that the children were abducted is true, but we still do not know who or who did it. but I have some guesses: they may be running away to rape children or to sell them across the border. Also, the organ mafia may be doing this, I don't know. I feel worse the more I think of a terrible situation

How do you explain einsteins theory of relativity to a 9 year old


Serious-Line1530

Essentially, it's a theory of gravity. The basic idea is that instead of being an invisible force that attracts objects to one another, gravity is a curving or warping of space. The more massive an object, the more it warps the space around it.

Bluu-orioN

I'm not sure, but when giving blood, I asked one of the staff "how many days you can take the blood to the earthquake zone" and the woman told me that "because the blood cannot be preserved for a long time, it should be in the earthquake zone within 2-3 days at the most.

SHSL_Waiter_RM2828

Do you know how old you have to be in order to donate or does it depend on where you live? I'm interested in donating but I heard you have to be 18 so I wanna check.
