Minorities vs. Minorities

A society is ruled according to majorities’ rules.

We, the atheists are minority in societies with theist majority.

Minorities are called marginals or deviants by the reference of normal majority.

People are not tolerant against minorities. This is called normal fascism.

But sometimes minorities may apply normal fascism against other minorities.

An ethnic group in a country may think that their rights come before others’ because they are majority of minority. This has been observed.

And for example an atheist may be intolerant against a gay or lesbian.

I am left-handed, none-voter, not goer to army, payer no tax, neutrosexual, etc. I am in minority in at least 10 main subjects.

There are 13 % handicapped, % 5 alcoholic, % 5 drug addictive, % 5 using depression drugs, etc. minorities in Turkey. So more than a half of the population of Turkey is in any minority. But Turkish people are one of least tolerant peoples in the world against minorities.

It is very interesting to watch people’s behaviors when in minority and in majority like a movie. They are tyrannical in majority and one moment later they are oppressed when in minority. We may claim that Turkish people have social schyzophrenia.

Let’s look at global panorama:

Neo-globalism and neo-liberalism brought a new normal fascism to the world. After 1968 events, people lost all their tolerances against minorities.

If anyone moves away an epsilon from her standard biography, she will be punished. She will loose her job, her family, etc.

We, the atheist are in such conditions. In the appearance, there is a tolerance in G-7 countries, but not really. After September 11th, Islamophobia had hegemonia in USA and EU countries.

In these conditions even minorities in other subjects are intolerant against atheism.

Enlightment Age finished. Darkenment Age (a new Middle Age) begun.

Welcome to the desert of the reality.
