The Second Colonial Age Will Be the End of the West

Western nations established a colonial empire that was always brutal and exploitative, treating Africans, Asians, and Latin Americans like slaves. They inflicted suffering on humanity, creating nightmares for billions of people for the happiness of 500 million. This horrific cycle never ended.

During World War II, they suffered significant blood loss due to their own sacrifices, with 40 million lives lost. As a result, independence movements arose in territories occupied by the British, French, and other Western powers after World War I, leading many nations to gain independence. Most independence struggles occurred between 1950 and 1970, but today there are still countries under colonial rule.


In these colonial wars, millions of people lost their lives and endured immense suffering, just as during the occupation. After gaining independence, many states enjoyed a brief period of freedom before being re-colonized through dictatorships or economic means.


The Republic of Türkiye was founded as a remnant of the Ottoman Empire and gained its independence shortly after World War I. However, it recently fought against U.S.-led hegemony. While discussions about true independence in Türkiye continue, imperialist nations and their local collaborators still harbor hopes of stifling democratic developments in the country. The Western colonial empire has not wasted its two-century-long investment.


Colonial overseers prefer to maintain economic and administrative control. The greatest success of Western nations lies in the cultural hegemony they established in colonized and semi-colonized countries, which is more dangerous than land occupation. Observing the Western-centric hegemony imposed in our country, which has never experienced colonialism, makes one shudder to think about the realities faced by directly exploited nations.


During the Cold War, influenced by leftist movements, a dream of democracy emerged in the Western world, albeit primarily for their own benefit. This climate of freedom has persisted in Western capitals.


After the September 11 attacks, the U.S. unveiled a new invasion plan called the "New World Order," invading Iraq and Afghanistan and devastating Yemen, which continues today.


Established in 1948, Israel has remained unaffected by global developments and has perpetuated the destructive colonial era of Western nations. They have massacred Palestinians at will, exiled them, and seized sacred properties. They have left children and youth injured or disabled under any pretext.


The Death of Modernity: While the West continues its colonial exploitation, it constantly asserts that it represents civilized values. The dichotomy between Romans and barbarians has never changed in their eyes. Vampire-like exploiters label themselves as civilized while deeming other nations as uncivilized. They also treat those who accept voluntary servitude as pariahs.


A year has passed since October 7—364 days. Today, Israel ruthlessly bombs the West Bank and Lebanon while continuing its civil massacres in Gaza. From the moment it was established, Israel began its slaughter. After the Arab-Israeli wars, it aimed to expel all civilians from Palestinian villages and cities by burning them. Millions of Palestinians became refugees, while those who resisted remained subjected to constant torture. In Beirut, they committed outright massacres in the Sabra and Shatila camps, never hesitating to kill women and children.


The 75 years of human rights violations and land seizures have been obscured by the modern colonial empire. At this point, the vampire continues to drain blood. It has become clear that the U.S. is not an independent nation, nor is the U.K. Independent Germany was already known to be enslaved.


One of humanity's darkest days occurred when 40,000 attendees at the U.S. Congress applauded a murderer. The man and the killers being applauded today are destroying Lebanon.


This issue is no longer just about Palestinians, Gazans, Beirut residents, or Muslims. It concerns everyone, from those in Latin American countries to people in Scandinavian streets, U.S. universities, and Ireland, including those living in Istanbul.


A civilization that loses its sense of justice will inevitably collapse. As this brutal civilization retreats, it will cause significant pain. Overthrowing this cruel and merciless civilization and establishing an empire based on justice and compassion is our only alternative for humanity.
