Treason through stuffed anchovies

Shall we all wash our faces and have some coffee all together? Shall we all get some fresh air and come to our senses? Maybe then, we will give up calling our own people "traitors" just because they will be voting "yes" or "no" in the referendum. Maybe if we come to our senses, the politicians will follow. 

The 1990s were nice but not that marvelous. However, there was one aspect that I miss very much. There was only one group when it came to traitors. It was the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists. Obviously, our senses and our minds were in the right place in those years. 

There was unpleasant name calling, yes, and people were labeled according to what color they were wearing, but at least people were not declared traitors in one minute because of nothing. 

Now, 79 million people, every one of us, can tag everyone else as a traitor. There is no treachery in sight, no crime has been committed, taxes have been paid and love for the country is at its peak, but somebody calls out "traitor." Why? It is because your vote is "yes or no" in the referendum? You have declared it and angered some people. Or you have not declared it but they feel or perceive that you are somewhere over there. Not important… If that person is to vote differently than you, then, bam, you are immediately labeled a traitor. 

Guys, have we all gone mad? Shall we have some coffee together as a nation? Shall we all wash our faces? Shall we sit by the window and get some air? Do you think this will help? Shall we apologize to the people we have labeled as traitors? 

This is Turkey's biggest problem now. 

We politicize every matter immediately like this. We have become masters in the absurdity. Some reactions are like a laboratory...
