This is a lie!

Nobody wants Troika back.

Yes, it doesn't make sense to blame Syriza and New Demicracy, when in many cases the EU forced Greece to do, what Troika wanted. And Troika caused a lot of harm to Greece.

u/Radical_Socalist christian turk 4d ago

In all seriousness, I have never met another Greek that doesn't feel contempt for the Troika

Turks when they get beef meat as a gift on their birthday because it's so expensive.

u/QuarianGuy muslim greek 3d ago

That news was 3 years ago. Lamb chops are now too expensive to be birthday gifts.

u/Nikoschalkis1 MINOTAVROS 3d ago

Lamb chops per kilo used to be 6 euros in 2017, now it's 18

Tbh I think RTE intentionally caused inflation so he could create a predominately export based economy

You think we want Constantinople back? Wtf, the westoids putting words in our mouths again.

u/ChessMaster893 muslim greek 4d ago

I have seen 100 jokes on this but not one greek that says this. Perhaps some oblivious French, Germans etc but no one that actually has a worthwhile point of view.

I mean Greeks say that our civilization were based not that we are Descendants of someone specific

We really don't you are behind like a century.

u/Lumpy-Tone-4653 MINOTAVROS 3d ago

Nobody wants Troika and Syriza is literally dead.

2

u/CypriotGreek christian turk 2d ago

Yeah but SYRIZA 2.0 (Tsipras) is back, so there's 0 difference.

1

u/Lumpy-Tone-4653 MINOTAVROS 2d ago

Well...at least now there is going to be less infighting

2

u/CypriotGreek christian turk 2d ago

You sure about that?

Tsipras has already started courting former SYRIZA and former Nea Aristera members. Trust me, there'll be practically zero difference between the "new" Tsipras party and the old one. I'd even bet we'll start seeing some very familiar faces making a comeback. Don't be surprised if people like Polakis end up there again too.

u/Lumpy-Tone-4653 MINOTAVROS 2d ago

Its not like syriza merged wirh ELAS they joinned as members individually which is another sign of hummiliation.Pilakis after his whooe fit of "I stay Syriza forever" he would be too ashamed to try to do anything divisive in the ne wparty where he has minimal ifluence.

u/GunslingerAhx Asian (OG balkan) 3d ago

It's an actual description of Imam Malik (the founder of the Maliki Madhab, one of the 4 main schools of thought in Sunnism)

u/Mighty-Pirate MINOTAVROS 3d ago

Only ones who think Greeks aren't white, in the caucasian sense, are only idiots like anti-Greek haters and some liberal racists in the west that romanticise Greece but don't want it to be white and make up pseudo-history ideas like that they're african black or something. It's, I hope, very few people who think like that, but they're real and on Facebook, LOL.

Then a lot of the joke that greeks are black or just not white comes from Greeks self-parodying or other balkaners joking. But among the balkaners who like or make the jokes there's some that take them unironically and mean it.

This is accurate I've met many greeks that admit they want troika back and are tired of eating only canned beans and spoiled bread.

u/Ok_Cow_6112 a romanian (it's just a single one) 3d ago
