The cops cause the riots,they are undercover and throw rocks and molotovs so the rest of the pigs can go on and attack the protesters,its the usual trick they use worldwide wake up!

Greetings from Greece

Molotov power

Death to EU and IMF

[kingxciter]

I have to say that I love to watch this! It's of course sad to see that it has to happen, but I hope that all will be good when all is settled. For far to long people of this corrupt, violent culture has been transformed from good, kind human beings to mindless fucking robots.

It has to stop! If it needs to go down as it goes down in Greece, so be it. But it has to be stopped. We belong only to the community of ALL life NOT fucking civilisation and its exploation and ignorant attitude.

[mattausfahl27]

What kind of cops are these that just take the abuse? It's called *authority*; use it to disburse/put down/arrest the thugs and hooligans, for the sake of the rest of the Greek people who find these riots to be deplorable and disgusting.

[fistthatwillbustlips]

@mattausfahl27 you fucking pathetic peice of shit shut your bitch ass mouth

[MarcolinoBa]

nationalists help police?? are you sure??

[alakalach1]

[grimslider]

[mrsyd01]

Hahaha , I hope the whole counrty goes further & totally down the shithole where it belongs.. This is karma.

[RobertMOdell]

@mrsyd01 Why would you say something like that about any people? Don't you want to best for people? Have you no love for your neighbor?

[mrsyd01]

@RobertMOdell Let me just say that i'm not racist & respect many diverse peoples & cultures but greece aint one of them . I don't want to get into the reasons because it would take a while but this is what happen's when you oppress ,disrespect , commit crimes against a certain people & others , unfortunately the world doesn't hear about it . So , i'm very happy to see what's happening over there & pray it gets a lot worse, damn the lot of them except for 10% .. as i said , it's bad karma

[RobertMOdell]

Currently about 3% of the Greece population is protesting. It takes about 15% for a revolution to occur. What the protesters should focus on is doing things to bring to a head the pain upon general society so that there is no turning back into their comfortable lives.

[geniousboyGR]

@RobertMOdell when you have 200.000 people protesting, these people have families of 4-6 members at least most of the times. It's almost a million, of the 5millions of Athens. So it's about a little less than the one fifth of Athens population ;)

I don't blame the brainwashed, but it is a nice start to not be afraid to tell them they're brainwashed. Of course, most of them won't change their mind, but at least you may prevent other people from becoming brainwashed too. :/

[RobertMOdell]

@geniousboyGR Indeed. But are they brainwashed, or just deliberately placing their heads in the sand? I couldn't even count on my hands how many friends I know who've told me "I try not to think about it" when asked what they think about what's happening in the world. They simply do not WANT to know.

[geniousboyGR]

@RobertMOdell Ι guess if they knew the sad truth of the modern greek reality, or the fact that 1 out of 4 people have anymore not even enough money to eat, they wouldn't be able to say "MORE TAXES TO GREEKS!" or "LOWER SALARIES FOR THE GREEKS", they would know the humanistic crime that is commited right now.

Imagine, they believe that "Greece is a poor country with rich people"..I wish one day people will be able to see how the media manipulate them, I pity them.

[RobertMOdell]

@geniousboyGR Do you think what is happening in Greece has more to do with the EU or with America?

[geniousboyGR]

@RobertMOdell what's happening in EU has to do with USA and what's happening in Greece has to do with EU. everything is complexed nowadays. That's what I've started studying, International and European and Economic Studies, so I guess I'll be able to tell more surely in 2-3 years from now :P

but, also, to my eyes, it can't be a co-incidence that the only one who gains something from this European Crisis is the dollar, if that's what you mean ;)

[RobertMOdell]

@geniousboyGR I am an American whose eyes were opened in 1993. I can tell you that America is bankrupt and itself barely hanging on. The Federal Reserve has thrown own loans around the world in order to protect its own dollar and as a way to make some money on interest too. This is all ultimately bank usery coming from the Bank of England in the EU. It also shows the failure of socialism, because of the unequal treatment of careers by socialist governments.

[geniousboyGR]

I know most of nations have been brainwashed by propaganda that Greeks are lazy and uneducated, but they have to realise that this is a lie and that

1) we work the most hours in EU, almost 3,000 hours per year (while Germans work less than 2000 hours per year)

2) we have one of the lowest percentages of students who don't complete their 12-year educative circle and 8/10 move on to universities.

Greeks are neither lazy nor uneducated: JUST VICTIMS OF EU POLICIES AND MODERN IMMORAL GOVERNMENTS

[RobertMOdell]

@geniousboyGR Bainwashing is all about the individual. Only about 3% of the people are even truthseekers to begin with. Most people just look for the next thrill in life and cling to whatever social norms they think they understand. Don't blame brainwashing. It has always been this way.

[3seren]

fuck police

[kratiras]

People all over the world have to understand that we in Greece are fighting FOR THEM....dont hear what the TV says...The New World Order has deployed all over the world and Greece is the first country

[pakau]

does it really need to be a anarchy before a direct democracy ? .. well if its needed .. DO IT !!!

[Gary190tube]

It's terrible that democracy has been taken away from the country that invented it.

[cmorganis]

Since the IMF and Papandreou came into power we have immense depression, 1.000.000 unemployed, over 23 types of taxes including property tax and taxing the old and handicap, lowering wages (basic wage 550€), half the business closed, people can't afford heating and food in some instances, the highest VAT in europe, GAS prices highsky, AND instead of getting small budget deficits... the deficits have increased 58%!!! People are losing their homes, getting sick, commiting suicide....

[MrSpithas7]
