Üst akıl – Totally Turkey | Conspiracy Clearinghouse

EPISODE 97 | Üst akıl – Totally Turkey

Turkey is a place with a complex history and a diverse population, which can lead to a sense of uncertainty and instability. Conspiracy theories that offer simple explanations for complex events and interactions, seem to take hold easily there, especially lately.

This can make it difficult for people to distinguish between reliable information and propaganda and can contribute to the spread of false information and conspiracy theories.

All told, Turkey seems to be particularly susceptible to the spread of conspiracy narratives. Which is a darned shame, since the country is absolutely fascinating, with a long and rich history stretching back more than 40,000 years, fantastic food, a varied landscape and incredibly hospitable people.
