Guys, finally we found a sound theory on why Turkey is what it is, despite Ataturk's efforts to transform it into a civilized place.
It also may explain why, to our amazement, the Turks continue to support a thuggish tyrant.
Last but not least, this theory makes a sound case on why Europe has to kindly and humanly place "its" Turks into airplanes and return them to Ankara.
In summary, Turks read nothing of worth, if they read at all. The source is Miller's literacy survey and ranking (pic related), which is authoritative and very well supported. It does not look at a population's ability to read but at actually grabbing a book and reading it --moreover, remember that books translated in the whole Arab world in a whole year are 1/5 of Greece, by far Europe's most backwards member, and a tiny fraction of the U.S., which is not precisely dandy when it comes down to culture.
Now, this fact by itself would be a source of scorn and no more. However, it starts to get worrying (and revealing) when collated with two scientifically proven facts: (1) Turks have a ludicrous rate of inbreeding, mostly gestated by the prophet's encouragement of cousin marrying and the backwards social stigma placed on women who actually socialize outside of their family circle; and (2) inbreeding is linked to a plethora of health problems, from anger and depression to outright retardation and deformity, with its most drastic consequence being the direct correlation with stillbirths.
Now, with these indisputable facts in our hands, it is would be quite surprising that Erdogan would not have won. Ataturk was a diamond among the feces, and he tried hard to correct these people, but when hard biology is against you as a society, there is only so much politics can achieve.
I am very sorry, Turkbros, but you have to go back. Not because of any cultural problem or discrimination. Simply because you are genetically screwed. Thanks for participating, though. Goodbye.
