The Gezi Park Protest was in 2013, and was a initially over Turkish environmentalists objected to the uprooting of trees in Gezi Park in the heart of Istanbul when the municipality began to implement its plan to raze the park and build in its place the replica of an Ottoman era military barrack potentially with a shopping mall inside. This lead to an amazing display of artistic backlash from the Turkish citizens through graffiti. For example the image below:

Schemes:
enallage: Intentional grammar misuse.= çapulcu was quickly appropriated
to mean a person who fights for his or her democratic rights. They use this instead of the popular TV show name South Park.
Tropes:
Substitution- anthimeria: Substitution of one part of speech for another.= Using the word çapulcu instead of South.
P-OT:
Premise:
Abstract- the believe that all Turkish activists will have the same definition of çapulcu and understand the reference to South Park
Premise Modifiers:
Enthymeme- those who participate in the protest are becoming icons, like those in South Park.
Argument Types:
Symbolic Liaison: Order/degree- how this movement correlates with the government.
