For those who are not clued into the intricacies of turkish (ethno-)nationalism, turanism is kind of like the odin-flavored racism in germany. They hate arabs so much they reject Islam (which is otherwise pretty core to turkish nationalism) because it’s an “arab religion”. It’s in a (not so coincidentally) similar vein to the odin-racists hating jews so much that they reject christianity due to it being a “semitic religion”. I could get into it more if needed but if you also browse the articles about the grey wolves (why are they called that 🤔) it should be fairly clear why that comm is a fascist op that is now being spread on lemmy
You’re a day late; they migrated to PieFed yesterday: Comunity moved to piefed.social!

Damn I only find out about these cool crank communities after someone else stuffs a firecracker in the wasp nest
It’s got a good size following in Turkey unfortunately and not just a niche internet phenomenon. I remember some of that “turkic cultures” ethnonationalist crap about how close the turkic nations are from my 7th or 8th grade textbooks as part of the pre-ottoman history of Turkey. With the implicit assumption that Turkey should lead the charge in “rekindling” these “ancient brotherly bonds”.
anyway r/tiele exists on reddit as well along with a bunch of other ülkücü subs if you wanna dig around.
Oh also they’re on the CIA payroll and key for the “uyghur genocide” stuff they’re spinning.
