Greek Referendum Poll

[Tamas]

You guys need to remember that the "lazy well paid Greeks" is to a large extent a myth perpetrated by tabloids in countries such as Germany.

Laziness has nothing to do with anything. It is about a political culture of fucking things up, making your own people suffer through your own incompetence, and then convincing them it was an evil outsiders fault. Then straighten up for a bit and then do it again.

The problem is that Syriza is not an establishment party so they, at least formally, come from outside of that culture.

Its the political culture of the country, as you well know it.

[Martinus]

Do you guys think Greece should get the same kind of deal as Germany did in 1953, i.e. having half of its debt written off and the other half being only repaid from export surplus?

I know that "political culture" of Greece is clearly worse than that of Germany in the 1930s/40s but still...

[The Brain]

No, of course not.

You answered your own question I think. If you let them off now you just postpone the crisis a few years.

[Martinus]

No, of course not.

Why not?

[The Brain]

No, of course not.

Why not?

Because Greece is a retarded country that should STFU. I'm sure my position on Greece is well known after a number of posts on this theme.

[Martinus]

No, of course not.

So you are just racist. Ok.

It is worse when it comes to managing its money. Less bad when it comes to trying world conquest. But Germany got off lightly because of the Cold War, lucky them. If it was not for that well...things would have gone very badly for them indeed.

Hey if you want to put all your money in Argentinian Bonds be my guest. At least then you wont be racist or something.

It looks like Euclid Tsakalotos will be new finance minister.

I guess that might mean there's an end to Non-Euclidean financial politics.

[PJL]

Also Germany was TBTF, whereas Greece isn't.

[The Brain]

No, of course not.

Why do you say that I'm racist? Non-rhetorical.

Looks like Syriza might now be pursing a triangulation policy WRT the debt solution.

Beware the Lotos! 

PS: Τσακα as in cut(ter) of Lotos or more (budget) cuts? 

[Razgovory]

I wonder when they will sell basing rights to the Russians.
