Similar to Russia. I don't naively deny the issue, but I believe the the fix is elsewhere. Fix democracy & vulnerabilities.

I see stepped up leaking, deep state in Turkey was a paramilitary shadowy network killing people. Being underpaid isn't slavery.

It is should always be up for discussion if leaks are in the public interest and expose wrongdoing.

But labeling leaks coming from the state (yep, they are the state) employees "deep state" seems wrong. You are fairly pro-leak.

Now you're not? What's the criteria? I repeat mine: expose wrongdoing of sufficient gravity that public has right to know. /end

So you responded to a thread I started objecting to a New York Times article, discussing the deep state with Turkish flags. /n

I actually responded to a specific tweet where you cited my interview to say that "Deep State" was merely leaking. It's beyond that.

Screenshot of Google news in a long thread to say look, not the best term, you were just there but okay. Will finish my thread.
