Hey, guys. So, I'm just curious, what happened to the link to Athens?

Why?

Ah.

Yeah, I saw the video about it but was then baffled by the fact that the link didn't work because the video was really really recent.

Yo, folks, am I the only one who thinks that Greece is probably gonna have a civil war within the next decades?

The incumbent government.

lol

Well, my assumption is that the people are gonna get sick and fucking tired of the globalist policies that the various major parties (which are all corrupt, mind you) take advantage of regularly for their own personal gain.

This is a brilliant video, be sure to check that out

Well, the thing is, I can also foresee a lot of issues with any potential civil war.

For example, the military will be completely divided.

Some will side with their friends and family and some will side with the government.

And then we've got Cyprus.

Who here's ready for geo-political tensions to fucking bananas when the new Greek government has to deal with Turkey and Cyprus?

lol

I mean, if Greece gets Cyprus, they'll be fucking loaded.

And then Britain has yet another ally that hates the EU.

It is their land.

Turkey has no claim over Cyprus.

Well, they illegally invaded and told the Kurds and Armenians to fuck off.

^

To be fair, the Ottoman Empire did stabilise the region and it is somewhat fair that they have that as consolation for being split up by the Allies.

BUT

They did also wage a genocidal campaign against the Armenians.

Like they have no claim over Anatolia.

Legally speaking, technically.

But then there's the other side of that coin.

They have a long-established ethnic and administrative presence there, so Anatolia isn't quite black and white.

Culturally, it is *very* Turkish.

@AlanPowell It's beautiful lol

That's true.

But like

Can you redraw the borders of the Middle East now differently from the Sykes-Picot Agreement?

No, it's too long-standing.

It wouldn't be practical.

With Cyprus, the vast majority are Greek Cypriots.

The government is formerly Greek.

And Turkey invaded unlawfully.

Yes.

The Turks invaded a part of Cyprus with no legal basis of justification.

*or

They do.

The Turks are basically using WWII Germany logic and saying “we have an ethnic minority here therefore we should unite our ethnic peoples”

Which is retarded because when they invaded only 17% of the population were ethnically Turkish

Even right now, there are roughly 650000 Greek Cypriots to Turkish Cypriots.

*150000

The Turks aren’t to be trusted

Honestly, giving Cyprus to Greece would be better for everyone because Greece’s economy can be revitalised and everyone in Europe can benefit from Greece.

@Jules Winnfield did someone say

**U T O P I A**

Lol

I could’ve said what

But nah I’m referring to <#372508286529961996>

Literally had this debate with an anarchist the other day and he said that an anarchist utopia is the only true way to achieve world peace.

And I’m like

“How do you account for people who commit atrocities against other people and how do you define what is and isn’t bad?”

And he’s just like

“Lynch mobs”

Doubtful

So basically

We can achieve utopian peace and prosperity through lynch mobs and kangaroo courts.

🤔 seems legit

Like anarchism is inherently nihilistic

When you really think about it

Bc if everyone is their own individual and it’s up to mobs to chase down shitty people and everyone has their own opinion of what is good and bad like it’s all fucking self-contradictory

Which would lead to

Ya know

Hierarchy

Like they feed their own logical paradox and lead themselves to their ultimate demise

And I’m like

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Basically

Like I’m libertarian more than I am statist

But this guy literally said that anyone who supports any form of government or administrative authority is a fucking statist and therefore an enemy of freedom

Like I’m paraphrasing to make it more intelligible but that’s the gist of it

If you’re not an anarchist, you must be a statist

I’ve heard that logic somewhere before

“If you’re not a feminist, you must hate women.”

Night man

No duh

Like I’m very slightly right leaning in terms of my economic views and my foreign policy views are fairly right wing as well.

But generally speaking I’m a very libertarian centrist

So I look at the progressive and far left and I’m just like “well shit”

!rank

Exactly

Cyprus could be great but it cannot sustain itself as an independent state, nor can it sustain itself under the control of globalist Greece.

But tbh Turkey is by far the worst option geopolitically speaking because the Turks are just gonna use the oil money to fuck everyone over.

#whyimnevermovingtocali

I’d like to move to NYC to pursue music rather than LA because NYC has a decent amount of contacts in the industry compared to LA.

And whilst it is a Blue state

It’s not like

“Hey let’s shit on the sidewalk and drive tourists away”

Even their homeless people are interesting.

Mole people.

Is it actually as bad as PJW said?

Lmao

Well I’m sure as hell not moving to Nashville so NYC is my best bet
