Evidence

Another night, another very different procession descended on Taksim. Rihanna was playing a huge show a few blocks away. As she sang, fans in the VIP seats also watched the events in the square, on Twitter. Then they swarmed up the hill, toward Istiklal, and joined the revolt. Eren’s girlfriend was in that march. They knew that they didn’t exactly hail from the proletariat, but everyone was coming together to fight for their city. — Vincent Bevins, If We Burn, 348
