I told you these people are clowns. Today another minister said that Poland was an ally of Nazi Germany during WWII.
Yes I know this government are clowns, but the average Greek are not dumber than the average European. So why have the last few Greek governments, kept using rhetoric which weaken their negotiation position. I'm in fact curious about this, it's not a rhetoric point. I think it's counterproductive behaviour and I wish to understand it.
Because we as a people think that being the descendants of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Alexander the Great gives us unique privileges over the northern Europe "barbarians".
I still don't get. Yes Greek see themselves as superior to other people, but that's not unique for the Greeks.
Well, to be honest we don't just think we are superior to the other people. We also suffer perennially from a prosecution syndrome, that everybody is out there to get us, whether they are Americans, Germans, Jews, etc.
There is always a convenient scapegoat for our predicament, because we are of course perfect and never make mistakes.
