text: My experience on r/Turkey and even r/TurkeyJerky has been the same (even though the memes are pretty funny). It doesn't help that a lot of people see the current government as Islamic and therefore project their dissatisfaction of the government as dissatisfaction of religion. However they also seem to have a pseudo-nationalistic attitude where they simultaneously profess their love for the country and also bash the people living there. It is crucial to self critique however mocking and not providing alternatives/solutions is not the right way to go about it. To each to their own I guess...
