Hello there guys, how's it goin'? I'm Greek & I hope I can contribute to your conversation with my own experience to the matter:
Most of you guys are right about us, unfortunately: since the democracy days & the entry to the EU (1980 & so on), we have become inefficient, corrupt & lazy. All we wanted is easy money, food & pussy without working hard for it, but the craziest thing is we got it! EU provided for that with billions of money (euros
)! Germany especially benefited from that getting huge contracts & exports, bribing everyone they could (and they're shoving it now down our asses with their loan-shark 7% interest money)
Globalization & illegal immigrants fucked up our culture & lifestyle, politicians are drones feeding off society, giving "favours" a la Mafia to those who don't deserve them, all the scandals went unpunished because simply noone gave a shit. We even gave up on growing things & feeding ourselves (counter-productivity) simply because imports are an easier & cheaper way!
So now, what do we do? We are giving the government to people who promise the "good ol days" but have no clue how to do that! Brilliant, right?
Economical crisis made us poorer but not wiser, our way of thinking things sadly hasn't changed much. The best parts of our society (young unmarried scientists with high IQ & will to work) have already left the country disgusted & hurt because they had shitty jobs or are jobless (like me). The rest still have the same fucked-up mentality (easy money-fun-food-pussy, minimum effort), while the EU (ie Germans) hypocrites & no-good parasite Greek politicians give them promises & expensive loans in order just to survive & at the same time fuck them in the ass! Change of mentality, especially in the Balkans, is an awfully long procedure...
Fact is forces at work are way too much for such a small country, but people never fought back this crap; in fact they embraced it like Heaven on Earth! But now, the weak pay the price (but still don't give a fuck) & the guilty escape punishment...Brave new world, guys!
