It's way less tragic than the media paints it to be, lol. We live comfortable lives for the most part, sure our politicians are incredibly corrupt and many people have to work multiple jobs, but hey, show me a country with no problems what so ever. The majority of greeks lead a fine life. It may be partly because 99% of our universities are state funded and we don't have to worry about student debt later in our life like in the USA and other european countries.
Also we think similarly too. "We used to be so great, how the fuck did we end up like this?"
Well in hindsight, modern Greece has come pretty far. It was religiously and partialy ethnically opressed under the rule of an islamic state for nearly 400 years, and in the early 20th century greeks in Anatolia (modern day turkey) faced persecution and genocide that drove them completely out of the east. Yet in only 200 years greece managed to evolve from a literal patch of dirt with no economy or infrastructure, which's literacy rate was probably 3-4% at best, into a 1st world country with a booming tourist business, a huge trading fleet, and if you have turned 18 and don't know AT LEAST a second language appart from greek you are considered uneducated. Sure we aren't a world superpower like we were back in byzantine times, but still we are doing pretty good, and i wouldn't say greece is completely irrelevant.
Όπως kαι να έχει, αυτό που πάντα kάναμε kαλύτερα (έως kαι σήμερα) είναι ο'τι kαι kάνουν kαι οι Εβραίοι. Φεύγαμε σε kάποια χώρα του εξωτεριkού, περνάμε στα χέρια μας όλο το εμπόριο kαι τις επιχειρήσεις, kαι πλουτίζαμε. Γιατί νομίζετε μας αντιπάθησαν οι Τούρkοι αρkετά για να μας διαπράξουν γενοkτονία εναντίον μας;
