Former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu attended the Anatolian Conversations organized by the Anatolian Broadcasters Federation… During the Q&A session, a journalist asked, “Some people say, ‘Kılıçdaroğlu should be an elder brother.’ Some say, ‘He should be the spiritual Chairman,’ while others ask, ‘Why are you making statements?’… What do you think?”
He laughed and gave exactly this answer:
“So, should I not speak at all?”
***
I don't know what that journalist friend answered, but let me state my own opinion:
Yes, do not speak anymore, Mr. Kemal…
Really, be quiet…
Pay attention now to “shutting up and listening,” which you couldn't do while you were Chairman!
For nearly 13 years, you were the only one talking…
You spoke at group meetings every Tuesday, you spoke at the party assembly, you spoke at organizations of party branches, non-governmental organizations, and municipalities…
You went on television and spoke, you went to rallies and spoke, you accepted visitors and spoke.
You spoke face-to-face, you spoke to crowds, you spoke on the phone, you spoke to cameras…
The only time you didn't speak was during the conspiracy trials; you left thousands of patriots alone in the FETÖ-AKP conspiracy…
***
You spent at least 8 hours of your 24-hour day talking!
According to this calculation, you spoke for 2,880 hours a year, and 37,440 hours in 13 years.
Divide that by 24 hours; you spent exactly 1,560 days out of the 4,745 days in those 13 years… That is 4 years and 2 months, without stopping for even a minute.
***
You spoke well, you spoke poorly…
You spoke correctly, you spoke incorrectly…
Sometimes you spoke for a very long time, sometimes briefly…
You spoke with substance, you spoke with emptiness…
You spoke calmly, you spoke angrily…
You spoke while laughing, you spoke while going mad with rage…
You spoke like poetry, you spoke with street slang.
In other words, you wrote the novel of speaking!
Sometimes you spoke from a text, sometimes you improvised.
But you always spoke, Mr. Kemal…
In the 13 years you were in charge of the party, you spoke non-stop for 4 years and 2 months!
***
The figures I gave are correct; if you want, sit down and calculate it yourself…
Another 4 years and 2 months of those 13 years were spent sleeping, at eight hours a day…
More than a year was spent eating, at two hours a day…
If we consider the thousands of domestic trips you took, you spent more than 2 years on the road, averaging 4 hours a day…
You spent 6 and a half months on personal tasks like the toilet, bathing, and shaving, at one hour a day!
Add them all up; it comes to about 12 years…
One year remains…
I suppose you spent that one year with your wife, children, and grandchildren.
***
The math is clear:
For exactly 13 years, you always spoke, and we always listened…
You occasionally pretended to listen to us, but you never did.
You said whatever came to your mouth.
You came to Bağdat Avenue, you called Tunceli 'Dersim'; you were booed! You rejected the legal name given during the Atatürk era.
Before the last elections, you used your Alevism as political material.
You boasted about your Sheikh grandfather…
In other words, you fell into every trap set by the AKP and Erdoğan!
You lost all 12 elections you entered; on top of that, you became the “first Chairman sent away” by a party congress decision in CHP history, and none of that was enough for you…
If you were a rooster, you would have died long ago; but your eyes are still on the dunghill!
***
Now you have come out and are asking the journalist friend:
“Should I not speak?”
Yes…
Definitely do not speak!
Not just you; Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has been talking for years, never shutting up, and making the public regret being born, should not speak either; nor should Devlet Bahçeli, Meral Akşener, Ali Babacan, or Ahmet Davutoğlu!
Our lives have passed listening to you…
We have withered away from listening to you.
We don't want any of you anymore…
You are not some rare commodity, and we are not sheep being sent to the slaughterhouse!
***
I don't know if your blood pressure rose while reading this, friends; but mine hit 17 while writing it…
In the end, our deaths will be because of these men, but they still ask us, smiling under their breath:
“Should I not speak?”
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, yeeeeeeeees…
Be quiet forever!
