Strange Behaviours in Absurdistan
No matter how much economic hardship the people in Absurdistan experience, they do not let their Hotizme and Absurdist identity go unchallenged. This reality is most valuable in terms of determining the field of activity of cunning politicians.
Sometimes you feel an anxiety inside you that you cannot name. On the surface, there doesn't seem to be a big problem in your life, but you find it hard to breathe, as if you are trapped in a ball of problems. Just as it is difficult to breathe and you take a deep breath as soon as you step out of that environment, so it is with living in Absurdistan. The problem is that all the customs gates of Absurdistan are labelled with the motto: "This is Absurdistan, No Exit from Here". Once a mischievous Absurd citizen wrote "Love it or leave it" under the sign and was subjected to a rigorous police investigation into his family, past and future. In short, Absurdistan is a country full of contradictions.
The main determinant of politics in Absurdistan is the religion of Khotism, which is prevalent in the majority of the country. Like all religious beliefs, Khotism is a religion that sees the design of social life as its responsibility. As a stage of institutionalisation in the modern social structure, this is the domain of the government. However, Absurdistan has neither fully modernised nor fully accepted the way of life prescribed by Khotism, and appears to be a country in limbo. This characteristic has led politicians in Absurdistan to see themselves as the protector and representative of religion in front of the public.
Absurd politicians go to great lengths to prove in front of the public that they lead an extremely religious life. They not only do somersaults, but also post verses from the holy book of Hotism on social media on Tuesday, which is considered sacred in the religion of Hotism. One politician even said , "I post a verse every Tuesday, I manage politics very well" and received great reaction from the opposition. Interestingly, the supporters of the Absurdistan Flight Party (AUP), which he belongs to, did not see anything to criticise in these statements, but perceived this attitude of a minister of the AUP as an expression of respect for the religion of Khotism and celebrated the situation by saying "Hülooo".
Although there are rules governing the functioning of society and the Hotism religion rejects any intermediary between God and the believers, some wise people have commercialised this business under a religious identity, saying "you cannot understand what God means, I will explain it to you for a small fee". Even this business has an institutional identity within the state. Even the structure established by their saviours, who made a great revolution by establishing a modern society from a society living according to Khotism at the time, in order to control religious affairs, has been turned into a centre of trade. At the head of this structure is a person called "Hotin Head" who acts as a government sidekick.
The Head of Khotin fulfils the requirements of his office by praying for God to save people from difficulties in every problem in the country. The government does not leave his attempts to raise the religious sensitivity of the people unanswered. It provides him with the opportunity to ride in beautiful cars and have holidays by the sea in lavish facilities that the people cannot dream of. It is not known what he does with his state salary, but it is rumoured that the Head of Khotin, as all politicians do, buys a house in the capital of the United Kingdom (also known as the United Kingdom). The Khotism Presidency has given 20 million ponds (the highly valued Absurdist currency) to an EBK foundation to open and run a Khotism Worship Centre there. The Khotans in Absurdistan welcomed this as "so what, the man should worship at home when he goes there, he did well" .
Of course, if there is a large organised structure, it is a well-known tactic as an old state tradition to rehabilitate those who control the cornerstones of that structure. For this reason, the Hotism Presidency, which legitimised its institutional existence by promising paradise to the Hotans, must have found the formula for the real paradise, because it started to acquire property in the United States of America. They even have a saying on this subject : "Faith in the world, space in the United States of America". According to information uncovered by some journalists accused of anemia and treason, properties such as farms and villas with pools are said to have been purchased by the Hotism Presidency. The Hotism Presidency knows no bounds in showing the power of faith. Even I, an Absurdist citizen, am proud of it, even though I am a latecomer, but I still have questions about Hotism and its practices in Absurdistan.
One of the most controversial practices of the Hotism Presidency in recent times has been the practice of hotins (a religious profession acquired by studying in Hotin Hatip High Schools and highly regarded in the current Absurdistan) going to educational institutions (schools) of the Absurd Ministry of Education as official officials. Many people do not understand the motivation behind the Hotins' desire to go to the schools and show the teachers how to teach the pupils. Although modern educators say that this would radically destroy the Absurd education system and plunge the country into chaos, Şendoğan and Tarlalı are defenders of the issue. Somehow the subject came to the issue of "survival" again.
There is not much concern in the ruling and opposition camps about what the people think about this issue. Because the politics of Absurdistan has this characteristic. "We know what is good about you. Shut up and let's play politics in good humour" attitude is accepted by both ruling and opposition politicians, despite very few exceptions. Every Absurd Citizen who enters politics exhibits the same attitude as if they had been trained in this field. Yerimdaroğlu, who was the leader of the Absurd People's Party (AHP) before Tüzel, gave the most absurd example of this issue when he said, "You will vote for the candidate I have chosen, otherwise I will tear your meat by pinching and pinching" .
No matter how much economic hardship the people in Absurdistan experience, they do not let their Hotizme and Absurdist identity go unchallenged. This reality is most valuable in terms of determining the field of activity of cunning politicians. In Absurdistan, deceiving and defrauding the people without criticising or criticising national and religious feelings is almost appreciated. "Good for him, he is fighting for Hotism", "Good for him, he says that he would even give his blood for the Absurd nation" are expressions that can be heard from the public for many fraudsters. However, for those who use these expressions, we can say that the facts do not matter.
The Absurd citizen's difficulty in putting bread on the table, the denial of his child's right to a good education, the continuous decline in the level of wages, the continuous increase in the salaries of the head of Hotism and the hotins, whose contribution to the country cannot be understood, the state's siphoning off the taxes collected from the Absurd people to religious activities and organisations, do not seem to matter much. Hearing the call to prayer from places of worship and shouting and shouting at national matches while waving flags is a kind of ecstasy for the Absurd people. It is a well-known fact that at such moments it is extremely difficult to reach an Absurd citizen with a coherent sentence. Therefore, for Absurd citizens, the word "future" means "the next day". The fact that his/her child has a good future, has a good profession, and is more prosperous than him/herself goes beyond the limits of his/her perception capacity.
Recently, Mehmet Şimşir, who is in charge of the economy (he is also an Anglo-Anglo citizen), took revenge on the wretches (in Absurdistan, the word for wretches is used for pensioners), whom he sees as the cause of inflation, with his statements on the Absurd Fabrication Institution (AUK). Shimshir pretends that every day the miserable live is a blow to the economy. At every opportunity he defends the pointlessness of giving them money. It is also rumoured among the public that Şimşir plans to reduce the number of miserable people struggling to live below the hunger limit by predicting a salary increase below inflation for all miserable people with the inflation attenuation (I use this word because we cannot call it data) announced by AUK.
It was in this environment that Şimşir came to the rescue of the national team, which won the Astra Football Championship and advanced to the next round. The Absurd citizens, who were ecstatic with the victory, suddenly forgot about their pensions (also called misery wages). "Friends, come on, let's rejoice, but don't exaggerate. None of the country's problems have been solved, salaries are still below the hunger limit" were labelled as traitors who lacked national consciousness. While the President of Hotism was reciting prayers for the football team in tears, the people of Absurd were raising their hands in front of the screen and accompanying him in tears. Afterwards, the President of Hotism was smiling as he left the studio and got into his latest luxury car. The public, on the other hand, did not even think about the next day, which they saw as the future with the high dose of sedative effect.
