They are the most violent ragheads ever, they only play that ISIS is worse than them while all "ISIS execution movies" show Kurds doing it.

Americans should support their greatest ally, Saudi Arabia in pursue of peace and prosperity in the region through Wahhabi dominance.

If you ever watch Top Gear, you may remember that special where they got dumped in Iraq and had to drive somewhere. Remember how they got to Turkey and were handed a piece of paper saying it was now even more dangerous? Yeah, that was because of the Kurds.

*All of this if we take it at face value and assume any of it really happened.

kurds are not monolithic. there's the commie retards that are clearly a soviet plant from back when USSR was still relevant. they are essentially no different to african commies' shenanigans we all know and love.
and then there's the capitalist pro-western more religious iraqi kurds ruled by the barzani family for like almost 60 years.

don't believe me? turkey literally supported and fought on barzani's side during the Kurdish civil war in 1994 (many people don't know this, or completely ignore this)

this whole notion that turks hate kurds is nonsense not supported by even the slightest of historical research into the subject. turkey doesn't want commie kurds in syria, just like anyone would not want some commie neighbour on their borders.

the problem now is that the world changed dramatically - the west is very left leaning, especially leadership-wise. i'm not saying it's a bad thing or a good thing, it's just a fact. so we hear a lot of bullshit about how syrian commies are a beacon of hope in the darkness of middle east, which is frankly not true. the idealization of syrian kurds is totally unjustified, especially when there's Barzani's turkish supported kurdistan next door.

Receiving support from the west doesn't mean you're in line with western values. Saudi Arabia is objectively the most violent and repressive of all the Islamic states (bar ISIS if you count them), and yet they're the closest to the US out of all of them. Money always trumps morality in foreign policy.

It depends on which segment of Kurdish society you're talking about. There's a very religious, conservative element to Kurdish society and a left-wing, revolutionary one as well.

So you have deeply religious Kurds that oppress their women; communist Kurds that believe in full gender equality; tribal Kurds whose loyalties depend on local politics; and capitalist Kurds who trade extensively with Turkey.

You'll notice that Turkey doesn't have any problem with conservative Kurds that are happy to participate in capitalism. Its beef is with the communist revolutionaries who want to impose their own rule over the Kurdish people.

Kurds are bloodthirsty communists who pretend to be good guys to the West by making photos of females with guns at the same time they massacre the Assyrians in Syria and Iraq.

kurds being "good" is the biggest meme.

Granted, Turks are dominating savage alpha males historically,

BUT

Kurds are a minority from Persia who have been hated by the Persians since time immemorial.

They are the only non-black muslims to practice female genital mutilation.

They literally have tribal laws that state that a brother kills sister if that sister even does so little as to kill another man.

They have a substantial marxist militia presence culturally, thinking Stalinism and/or Maoism is a viable option to fight Iran, Iraq or Turkey.

They were the majority of guerillas who harassed and murdered the Armenians being deported to Syria.

The list goes on.

Just because they fought ISIS last year, doesn't make them human.

Seriously, you are talking as if you could simply divide a mountain people into three distinct groups based on the countries they inhabit. Mountain people's diversity and hostility is a constant in history (think for example of the Caucasus or the Himalayas). In the first place, tribalism and honor killings are a cultural constant in the middle east. Turkey and Syria have neglected their kurdish population and as result, tribalism runs rampant, just as with any other tribal ethnic group in the middle east. Secondly, even among the kurds of a single country there will be vast diferences depending on the area. Remember than in the last elections, the kurdish democrats won a big chunk of the votes for a reason. You also have the PKK that is very much westernized through ideology (because, even if /pol/acks don't want to admit it, marxism is a western ideology that promotes a western way of life), but has very little grip in the territory compared with their iraqi neighbors, who have been able to establish a much more stable local government, but it still has to deal with sunni kurds joining daesh. As a result, both in Syria and Iraq the lack of a central power leaves kurdish communities just as neglected as in turkey, so you have tribalism.
Do you seriously expect tribal cultures to magically turn civilized when there is no access to running water and education? This is all fault of arab nationalism and the influence of the Ba'ath ideology that was the reason both Syria and Iraq had hostile relations with their kurdish populations.

All things considered, Turks actually like kurds more than any of their other emigre countries. Just because we remove marxist PKK kurds, doesn't mean we are prejudiced against the 10+ million integrated kurds

I only opened this thread because scrolling past I thought that was a picture from Sharpe.

I'm a Turk who fully supports Kurdish Independence, EthnoNationalism and Irridentism.
My problem with kurds are twofold

>Goverment spends tax money (both in warfare and in public investments) to east, which I don't give a fuck about
>Kurds from East migrate to west, not only fucking up the labor market but also deeply riddent in crime, from petty to organized majority of the criminals have kurdish origins.

I don't hate kurds per se, if you are poor naturally you will leech off tax money and be prone to criminal activities. But If Kurdsh got their independence then there would be no excuse for them to stay in the west, the crime and tax spending will be lowered and everyone can live in their homogeneous countries.

>>696358
>You'll notice that Turkey doesn't have any problem with conservative Kurds that are happy to participate in capitalism. Its beef is with the communist revolutionaries
This is pretty important. Also, if you look at Turkish elections, Erdogan's AKP is very popular among conservative kurds. And as has been said before, Turkey co-operates closely with Iraqi Kurdistan.

I don't think it's just ideology though, if the YPG (left-wing syrian kurd militia) wasn't a sister group to the PKK (equivalent militia in Turkey) I think they would have much less of an issue.

It's simply a pragmatic point that if you have a local group which is hostile to your government, you don't want them to have a strong ally next door who can smuggle weapons across the border and harbour fighters.

Barzani and the wider KRG are a bunch of ultra-corrupt, totalitarian, tribal shitheads who just siphon development aid into private bank accounts and their own walled villas.

The PYD and PKK now have an ideology and plan that actually makes sense for the middle east through Confederalism, where Barzani is nothing more than a Turkish/US/Wall Street puppet.

This I can believe. We've got one where I work. He's a Turkish Kurd who moved to the Netherlands when he was about 12, now he lives in the UK, but he's been all around Europe and has family spread all over including Sweden. He's easy to talk to and joke with, but so far he's managed to piss off everybody in our department because all he does is complain about having to do work. They put him on one job, he complains, they put him on another job, he complains and says he'd rather do the previous job, they put him on that previous job, he complains again.

He ogles at women and says derogatory things about them, including one there who I am somewhat close with. He once mentioned a trip to Sweden to visit his cousin where they went to a club and were chatting up Swedish women. They asked where he was from and he said he was British and hearing that they say they love British men. He doesn't even have a British accent. I think I'll move to Turkey and start telling everyone I am Turkish.

same thing with turks, the rural folks are backwards (rural kurds more so, owing to the remoteness of their territory) but urbane kurds are as cosmpolitian as coastal turks.
