The Global Conversation is a journalistic, social media based human interest project which aims to give those living in places of political and social upheaval a platform to share their stories with the world. We want to bridge the gap between conventional media and social media, interweaving the larger narrative of news with the experiences of those who live those stories. In an age which bombards the public with endless information, we hope to show people are impacted by the stories you read every day. We are free speech advocates for those afraid to speak.
We believe a consequence of this flood of information is a desensitizing disconnect from reality. We hope to snap you back into focus by showing you people cannot be reduced to a headline.
Anyone who endures turmoil or discrimination anywhere in the world, email us for an interview request at [email protected]
You deserve to be heard. Share your stories with us.
I really enjoy the concept of this. Would love to assist.
Zachary Ward

Josiah Adams
Help us find and interview these people. If you know any of them, direct them to our Twitter and email. We're looking to conduct interviews over secure communication methods.
What's your take on what's happening in Turkey?
Henry Clark

You should make a deep and clear research before choosing a side in this event.
Dominic Lopez
I have and my Turks on the ground helping me document what Erdogan is doing to his people.
1/10 troll made me reply.
Jack Martin
Apart from that, we want to hear EVERYONE's stories. What do YOU believe is going on? Your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's.
Gabriel Lee
>his people >clear terrorist supporter who threatens turks with civil war
my ass, choose one burger
Angel Williams
>implying the PKK are terrorists >implying the HDP had anything to do with PKK activities >implying Erdogan isn't removing opposition to further his grasp on power
Try again roach
Luis Brown
nothing is going on, no major happening. just check HDP party people currently under custody they are terrorists, every single of them got pictures with guns n PKK guerillas.
Aiden Scott
to be honest.. trump looks like he staged this I've been a lifelong trump supporter ever since he went down those escalators, but he's looking desperate and doing whatever he can to gain attention. Very narcissistic. He lost me.
Bentley Campbell
The Kurds are revolting. Maybe you'd know that if you didn't live in a police state.
Daniel Morris
Nice shitposting leaf. Made me kek
Jonathan Rodriguez
kek'd, you are retarted and i'm more retarted because i replied you. You don't know anything or you are kid who want's believe your own reality like most of this board
Robert Johnson
Can you please provide these pictures? Possibly before your daily censoring happens please
Ayden Wright
Potato speaks the truth
Roach is a government bootlicker
Jose Perez
here is your HDP headquarters alonside PKK commanders.
>PKK is not a terrorist group
in 2016 they made around 5 suicide bombings tell me how are they different from isis?
Joshua Collins
Reminder that 300k emails from Erdogan's AKP were released on Wikileaks and Sup Forums didn't give a shit when it happened.
From what I see, it's just a meeting. no guns like you mentioned in your previous post
Brayden Peterson
It's called a response to their people being genocided and oppressed since the birth of the republic after you got shamed, you post ottoman fucks shit all over anyone who isn't an ethnic Turk.
They're fighting for Kurdistan and not fighting to impose Islam on the entire world, beheading and raping Turks, etc.
How the fuck do you justify Erdogans illegal detention of HDP leadership, roach?
Ethan Nguyen
Thank you Senpai.
Adam Brooks
They're also not the first political party to meet/contact a resistance movemento, so move along koksal baba
Charles Cruz
Did you happen to go through any? Have good ones? Have other relevant materials?
Luke Bennett
>How the fuck do you justify Erdogans illegal detention
here is 16 years old girl who died in pkk suicide bombing in Ankara, later that selahattin demirtaş gave free kurdistan speech during suicide bomber's funeral. look at her pic she could be someone you know someone you love. >It's called a response to their people being genocided and oppressed since the birth of the republic after you got shamed, you post ottoman fucks shit all over anyone who isn't an ethnic Turk.

i don't support erdoğan and islamism, erdoğan doing what he is doing for nationalist's votes(MHP) for upcoming referendum. he is already strongest man in turkey atm. if he wanted to do this before he would, but the the timing..
Nolan Stewart
Ok, THAT DOESNT HAVE SHIT to do with HDP being detained. They were brought up on bogus charges. PKK isn't in parliament.
Landon Carter
>genocided since the birth of the republic that's why their % of population raised about 10 times >They're fighting for Kurdistan and not fighting to impose Islam on the entire world, beheading and raping Turks, etc. Hope they win but doubt it. >How the fuck do you justify Erdogans illegal detention of HDP leadership, roach? not that guy but thanks for showing your true face instead of typing bullshit like this also turns out it's not illegal and it's been voted some time ago against several people from several parties, because HDP are literal kids they didn't took it seriously except the 2 runaways, they didn't even show up for testify. This is how they acted when immunities are lifted youtube.com/watch?v=LGFUsUN5J_4 they're saying some slogans pro Apo who is leader of PKK and singing some bullshit songs of theirs.
>Did you happen to go through any? Have good ones? Have other relevant materials?
If you don't know Turkish it must be impossible to find anything, as much as I searched I could only find few nepotism stuff, I know about some money laundring proposal from US army personnel, idk if anything else showed up ISIS related lke you wish so much.
Oh btw Wikileaks confirmed Saudi Arabia and Qatar is funding ISIS and Hillary knows about it but w/e, as long as if helps k*rds(Not the ones Turkey helps) it doesn't matter right?
Thomas Rodriguez
We've got contacts in turkey who can help us translate anything relevant, turkbro.
Jack James
just got off work. fuck is up?
Juan Brown
One type of person i can't stand for. PKK=HDP if you don't know something make a research once in a while, they made google for a reason. Please do not start conversations you can't finish.
Wyatt Ross
Nothing much, Obama monkey. What are your thoughts on Erdogan and the comments of our Turk friends here?
Lucas Bennett
Don't turkbro me you cunt, I know you'd be glad if my country was divided, but you'll see when people will unite, those dogs won't be getting scot-free, and people will unite.
Jayden Lewis
Just because HDP represents Kurdish people doesn't mean HDP=PKK
Quit swallowing the brainwashing propaganda the Erdogan govt shoves down your throats.
Elijah Reyes
I don't want your country divided, cunt, I want it free and United.
Kurdistan aside (I push no agenda in favor of Kurdistan), I want your people to have peace, prosperity and NOT the despot government you're headed toward. Turkbro.
Jordan Perez
>contacts probably some retarded kurd who will feed you with propaganda
HDP is openly known PKK supporter and refuses to call them a terrorist organization Members of HDP was caught multiple times meeting with PKK members
I hate Erdogan and fucking muslims however HDP isn't a peaceful party that serves to people's interest A lot of people were detained and killed under state orders on 1980 coup, kurds decided to take up arms and retalliate
PKK bombs innocent people and usually kills soldiers under compulsory military service They use civilians in the southeast as a meat shield and try to play victim when they get their assblasted in return
HDP tried to sell themselves as an alternative left to get votes, however it was all forgotten and they were back to shilling for kurds after getting their seats in parliament
Carter Howard
90% of hdp members are either former pkk member or related to other kurdish terrorist groups. They dont magicly appear and come to power. Sorry it wont work they way you want in your mind. I'm trying to explain you since my first post and trying to be objective in every way, but you bringing up same shit over and over again. You look like brainwashed rather than i
John Fisher
Either of you who want to give us your take on current events in Turkey, I would welcome it. We are here to tell people's stories and are working on our turkey project first. Please follow us or email us. We'd love to do an interview.
Austin Murphy
Well that's your opinion, but we've got contacts on the ground of all ethnic and sectarian groups who beg to differ.
We want all sides of the story.
Sebastian Price
Our government has already failed. It's not heading anywhere worse. It's already fucked and we'll slowly turn into a regular shitty middle eastern country slowly.
Non AKP parties are just controlled opposition at this point.
People won't unite because majority of the country are easily influenced by religious propaganda. They do not vote with reason and fail to recognize collapsing education and economy.
Anyone sane is either already left or planning to do so. There is nothing bright in the future of this country.
Asher Hernandez
Right. Have some facts to support that?
What about your dictator to be blacking out the Internet during his HDP raids? What about his censorship? Is that the "terrorists" fault too?
Jayden Martinez
i'm not nearly as woke as you, penny pilferer. i don't even know what's going on right now. feel like shit. turkey meat should stop acting like a bitch and join our collective though.
Thomas Hall
I feel your countrymen's pain. We're too trying to get our sources out before things get worse.
What's your take on what's currently happening and why? We'd love your. Input.
Ryan Cooper
Too bad it's going to be united against something you may not want maybe sooner than you think. My people live here unlike you and majority of their response is pretty clear on this matter. HDP trusted AKP for too long and Selehaddin Demirtaş himself played a role in Erdoğan getting elected as president. HDP supporters should think how much they've been useful to Erdoğan against Turkey before playing the victim.
Brayden Edwards
Confirmed for nigger.
Do you know anything about what's happening?
Can the turkbros of this thread help educate this nigger burger?
Jayden Roberts
I don't have a political agenda other than peace. And yeah, you're right, I don't want your country to unite in anger against all kurds. It will add to the incredible human suffering already rampant in the world. I don't want that for anyone
Josiah Foster
not a clue, jigga-jew. i've seen some things posted on facebook but never looked into it enough to form an an opinion. like i said, the only thing that i've really invested much time in is social issues in america and that's reluctantly.
Jacob Ramirez
Basically, Erdogan wants to continue his presidency but as term limits impose he can't, so he forcing his party to implement a presidency system like in USA so he can keep his position.
Opposition is a joke. They do nothing but whine, they won't do any better unless they decide to change.
Government is corrupt to the core. Many people who support AKP just benefit in some way, mostly in political and financial favours. Rest are brainwashed by religious propaganda and they won't recover because of ignorance.
People don't want to angrily unite against kurds. However kurdish people and anyone who wants to represent kurds need to isolate themselves from PKK to get support from people. If you openly support PKK like HDP does, no one will give a shit when they come for you.
I do not support the internet blackout or the oppression of opposition however I do not care at this point. I will be leaving here soon and hopefully watching this shithole collapse from a safe distance.
Justin Miller
If we used a secure communications platform like viber or threema, would you give us an online interciew? We'd keep you anonymous and even though you're leaving you could help us do some good. We've got a major project we'll be releasing and the more testimonials and interviews we can include the better.
It wouldn't take much of your time.
Nolan Smith
I ask because you appear to have a deep and nuanced understanding of the nature of what's happening. You could provide us with one of the most articulate interviews we've ever gotten.
Jeremiah Sullivan
>Right. Have some facts to support that? youtube.com/watch?v=7wZ9mo70o1w This type of blindness would only hurt, unless you mean to, then it's not blindness but plain ill will.
>What about your dictator to be blacking out the Internet during his HDP raids? What about it? Also I thought elected officials don't count as dictators. >What about his censorship? Which ones exactly and why did you wait this long to care about them? >Is that the "terrorists" fault too? "terrorists" fault is having no leverage other than trust in west.
>I don't have a political agenda other than peace. That's exactly what PKK says in many of their interviews. >And yeah, you're right, I don't want your country to unite in anger against all kurds. Also something that'll never happen, I hope you realize AKP alone has more k*rdish MP's in their party compared to HDP, not even counting CHP. MHP might have less k*rds but even they do. Funny the two of the only dirty ethnic political parties got the lowest votes in the parliament with similar percentage, MHP and HDP
I ope you realize there is not a clear divide between k*rds and Turks but the political movements, and when it comes to our country voters, people, civilians and others tend to stick together for some weird reason.
>It will add to the incredible human suffering already rampant in the world. I don't want that for anyone Well you can't save everyone.
Henry Edwards
What the fuck are you talking about? Too bored after all the vidya games and want to pursue a reporter career?
Aiden Wood
I'm pretty sure you can find a better public figure to give you a more impactful interview if you keep digging. Im just a random roach in Sup Forums
Nolan Sanders
You missed about 50% of my points, called me a terrorist for wanting oeace, and minimized our efforts to do good things for people all over the world.
I'll ask again, though, since you clearly didn't understand, how the fuck does Erdogan blacking out the Internet during a state of emergency in which he issued orders by executive decree while arresting HDP members have SHIT to do with your elected MPs? How is what he's doing congruent with freedom and democracy? How do you defend his systematic removal of the opposition?
James Rogers
I'm a part of a larger group conducting these interviews and putting together a multimedia platform to do human-interest based issues. And I'm never bored of vidya
Eli Johnson
We're working on establishing contacts with higher ups but that's not we want. We WANT random roaches like you. We're doing interviews with ordinarily people for a reason: their stories are neglected and they ARE the stories. You're the ones impacted. You're who we want to talk to.
If you are willing to be a part of this (and I very much hope you will be), screencap this so I can see the (you) and email us and I or one of my people will discuss with you which secure end to end encryption communications platform to use.
I hope you'll consider it. Ordinary people is our primary focus. It's your stories and your details that matter the most and what is heard of the least.
That goes for anyone who wants to put their stories and opinions out there. We'll keep it secure and keep you anonymous.
Noah Torres
>You missed about 50% of my points And you avoided my points about HDP being helpful to AKP/Erdoğan and videos about them doing what people say they were doing. Entirely avoided why people don't give support to them anymore. >called me a terrorist for wanting oeace No I didn't, same example could've been given to Erdoğan, I'm sure he said "he only wants peace" somewhere at some time. >and minimized our efforts to do good things for people all over the world. if your efforts can be minimized by me you're in big trouble.
>I'll ask again, though, since you clearly didn't understand, how the fuck does Erdogan blacking out the Internet during a state of emergency in which he issued orders by executive decree while arresting HDP members have SHIT to do with your elected MPs? It was about your comment on "I don't want your country to unite in anger against all kurds.", I thought it'd make it obvious that uniting in anger against all k*rds would be impossible and retarded and plain stupid.
>How is what he's doing congruent with freedom and democracy? I wonder why haven't you started this when the coup happened? It fits to your question perfectly too.
>How do you defend his systematic removal of the opposition? I don't defend it, tho I do defend the removal of MP's who are in contact with terrorists against state. If it was up to me it'd include Erdo and some of his goons as well, not only Selo and his feminist k*rd gang.
Kevin Richardson
Read Final bump.
Please email me turkbro. I think your interview could be QUITE impactful. I hope you'll consider it
