Freedom Fighter SEROK Apo, without whom life would be impossible, does not stay in İmralı on his own anymore

In 2009, there were 5 more prisoners chosen to stay in İmralı Island. The 4th reference on the page was published in 2010 but even that is out of date. Here is the link expalining which prisoners were chosen and how. http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/12970003.asp

Be Serok Jiyan Nabe.

Source 19 was the equivalent of illuminati lizard people zionist demon taking over the world conspiracy

Besides the ridiculous back and forth on this page, I wanted to point out that this source, besides being a personal blog, is conspiracy crazy to the nth degree, so I replaced it with the PKK bio.

The former source is claiming a super convoluted theory involving him being a secret Armenian in collusion with CNN, CIA, The Turkish Secret service, and the freemasons. No joke.

Philosophical influences

In his works (specifically the “Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization” series) Öcalan frequently talks about him being influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, and Theodor Adorno. He mentions Bookchin and Arendt far less than the aforementioned philosophers. That’s not to say that he wasn’t very much influenced by Bookchin and Arendt, because he was, but to exclude Nietzsche, Foucault, and Adorno in favor of theorists and philosophers he mentions far less simply because not many sources besides himself mention his major influences is ridiculous. 108.56.141.57 (talk) 23:12, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
