Greece in Europe?

[syo]

Also, are you going to actually answer any objections

What objections? The dna speaks. Greeks aren't goths, celtics, saxons, vikings etc. They are middle easterners, syrians, egyptians, etc

What do they know?

 

[syo]

Yeah, the founders of Western Civilization are not European.

western civilization is a monstrosity, it's fake, so...

 

[Hermit Philosopher]

Greece is middle-east.

Why people think Greece is european? Why put it in Europe?

Eh… Because Greece is a member of the EU. In that sense, it’s currently more European than the U.K.

 

[syo]

Geography.

Ancient Europe is the balkan peninsula.

Modern europe is what they call now, they mix balkans with saxons.

Call it what you want, Greeks are middle-easterners.

Nope.

Why and how?

 

[ChristineM]

What do they know?

Which continent Greece is on so apparently more than you.

 

[syo]

Why and how?

It causes anxiety.

 

[Heyo]

Greece is middle-east.

Why people think Greece is european? Why put it in Europe?

How do you see the rest of the world? Can you draw a map? (something like this one

Call it what you want, Greeks are middle-easterners.

I would agree that Greece is Balkan and that Balkan culture is different from that in Western Europe. But Balkan is very different from Middle Eastern, I think.

I remember thinking when Greece joined the EU that it was a mistake because it was too Balkan. And it has indeed been a struggle, as we all know. But I agree with @Rival and the historian Norman Davies who considers that the best definition of the rather nebulous concept of Europe is Christendom - or as Rival points out, more accurately Chalcedonian Christendom.

 

[syo]

Can you draw a map?

Sure.

A huge mistake made by a disgusting greek politician.

That's an interesting point of view, coming from someone who lives in Greece (if @JustGeorge is right - you don't seem to allow people to see your profile).

? Why interesting?

 

[exchemist]

? Why interesting?

Because I presumed quite a lot of Greeks thought belonging to the EU would be beneficial. Is there a lot of popular pressure for Greece to leave the EU, then?

 

[Heyo]

Sure.

Greece, on your map, is on the Eurasian Plate. And where is the Middle Eastern Plate?

Ha! Greeks are the worst kind of people. They are crypto-nazis, they would do anything the Germans would tell them to do. It's a suffocating place to live.

Arabian plate.
