greece has been going downhill since alexander died. film at 11.
alexander the great was a fucktard whose greatest "contribution" to greek "civilization" was the introduction of absolute monarchism. woo.
Uh excuse me alexander contributed in many ways, such as burning persepolis. when was the last time you burnt persepolis? Also alexander wandered around with his company of gentlemen and then when he died he bequethed his kingdom to the strongest. truly he was a randian objectivist superman.
alexander's greatest achievement was playing foil to diogenes, in that story where he asks diogenes if there's any favour he can do for him, and diogenes says "yeah, fuck off"
big strike, lots of protests
“If people did not protest, there would be something wrong with the measures,” Petros Christodoulou, deputy chief executive, National Bank of Greece, told CNBC Europe’s “Squawk Box” Wednesday.
While Greece has received several tranches of its bailout from international lenders, much of this has gone towards recapitalizing its troubled banks rather than into the real economy.
