==== Character Analysis ====

**Traits:**
- **Consistency:** Rasim Ozan Kütahyalı's column shows a high level of consistency in his critique of the LAST (Laik yaşam tarzına sahip Sünni Türk) middle class. He consistently portrays them as being in a state of ideological crisis and clinging to their established identities.
- **Emotionality:** The column is moderately emotional. Kütahyalı uses a provocative tone when describing the "fascist" mindset of the LAST middle class and their paradoxical behavior. However, he maintains a calm and analytical approach when discussing the transformation of their children.
- **Credibility:** Kütahyalı's arguments are fact-based to a certain extent, as he references specific social phenomena and personal anecdotes. However, his use of terms like "fascist" and "heretic" can be seen as hyperbolic, which might affect his credibility.

==== Relationships with Entities ====

**Affiliations:**
- **[[LAST Ortasınıfları]]:** Kütahyalı portrays this group negatively, describing them as being in a state of ideological crisis and clinging to their identities in a fascist manner.
- **[[AKP]]:** The column suggests a positive view of the [[AKP]]'s economic policies, noting that they have benefited the LAST middle class, despite their opposition to the party.

==== Intentions (Trustworthiness) ====

**Agenda:**
- Kütahyalı appears to be pushing a narrative that critiques the ideological rigidity of the LAST middle class and highlights the generational shift in their children's perspectives.
- He may be advocating for a more open and less dogmatic approach to social and political issues, as evidenced by his emphasis on the transformative effect of international education and exposure to global intellectual currents.
- There is a possible agenda to defend and promote the role of Taraf gazetesi as a counter-narrative to the mainstream, especially in the context of the Ergenekon process.

**Trustworthiness:**
- The column's trustworthiness can be rated as moderate. While Kütahyalı provides personal anecdotes and social observations, his use of strong language and potentially hyperbolic terms might undermine his objectivity.
- His clear affiliation with Taraf and the narrative he pushes suggest a degree of bias, but the insights into social dynamics and generational shifts are thought-provoking and potentially valuable.
