What do Americans on /pol/ think about Greece? I keep seeing in TV that it's considered some kind of paradise.

Nobody likes them, the ones who know of them here think they're hairy and smell like onions

I think you are bankrupt and feed stray dogs in cafes.

That's not true.

Ok maybe that is. It's a custom to feed the stray dogs something.

>What do Americans on /pol/ think about Greece?
On /pol/ everyone thinks you're poorshit pseudo-turks. In real life Americans don't think about Greece at all.

Nobody in (the united states of) America has an opinion of Greece.
Average Americans will picture ruins, and greasy hairy gypsy looking guys selling lamb gyros.
If they're moderately educated they'll picture ancient pedophilia, denbts, and maybe Golden Dawn.
That's the extent to which Americans think about Greece.
Like the history, pretty damn nice mythology,
But you guys suck donkey balls now
>>78904892
I knew a Greek guy in college. Had a group project with him. He kept calling us "malakah" all semester. Said it meant "friend." By the end of the semester we were all calling each other that. Then he told us it literally translates to "my masturbator." So now I think Greeks are all a bunch of slightly left wing homos, except for Golden Dawn, who are violent, right wing morons.
Don't listen to the faggots who don't even possess a passport. I was just in Italy and am going back soon. I plan on going to Greece with my wife and probably father in law. They are from Naples and it will only be a short trip and generally cheap. Greece is beautiful and has an amazing history just like Italy.

>>78905807
he was technically not wrong
malaka means wanker but it is one if not THE most commonly used words of the language
it can be equally used as a greeting for friends or an insult to enemies
why?
because literally everyone is a wanker
>>78905862
>Don't listen to these guys
>Posts an opinion showing he is a SWPL tourist who probably snubs his nose at his American friends over a cheap glass of wine while saying "You haven't been to Greece?"

Oh yeah? Then why does Greece pop up in shows like House, Dexter, House of Cards etc as some kind of utopian beauty? Also in movies like alexander, 300, my big fat greek wedding etc?
I think you're just neckbeards.
>>78905502
John Stamos is the hottest man in the world though. Not too bad.
I know Cutebunny992 is Greek and I would literally marry her.
So...there's that?
>>78906094
Because it's a babby's first eurotrip destination like Rome. Upper middle class toolbags will skip London and Big Ben and go to Greece and Italy because "wine" and "history", but they still have the depth of the Big Ben crowd, just with a little more snobbery thrown in like this guy >>78905862

Most Americans don't think about Greece once in a year. Half will never think about Greece in their lifetime. The once that do think about Greece, do so because they saw it in a movie about ancient times there. Troy, Alexander, etc.
Personally, I can't imagine what it must feel like to live somewhere so rich in history... and historical greatness, and yet to look at my society now and see no achievements whatsoever. You are not even a blimp on the world stage. Russian scientists are still contributing more to human understanding in a year than you have since the Second World War, and Russia is shit. Where is your science? Where is you space program? Your technology contributions, your medical contributions, your sleek supercars or domestic-made airplanes, Olympic gold medals, brave Warriors, the list goes on and on. Do you know how fucking cool it would be if Greece had a legion fighting with the USA (assuming they did good).
That is what I think when I think about Greece. It applies to other countries as well. You asked.
>>78906265
Why the fuck would anyone go to London ? So they can smell the sewage system? Or so they can have constant rainfall? Or maybe because the food is one of the worst in the world and the women some of the ugliest? Okay okay, maybe because it's expensive as fuck?
>>78906094
It shows that nobody know or cares what is going on there. Also you are very far from your former glory.
Also I love when I buy Greek products to find out it was made in Germany.
>>78906549
Found the problem. Greeks aren't white anymore.
>>78906594
Probably because lots of Americans are more comfortable going someplace where English is spoken, and London is the only place in Britain they know.
>>78904892
It is just another vacation spot.

Honestly, I kind of feel the same way about Italy.

Of that, greece might be mentioned two or three times.

It's funny, I graduated in '06 and all of my world history classes were only about American history involving other countries, like throwing a great tea party that the Brits popped their monocles over.
On the other hand, my American history classes actually were about the rest of the world.
>>78906961
Junior high and lower was entirely American history for me.
World History was 9th grade. It mostly covered Russia and, to a much lesser extent, China. India might have been mentioned.
Greece was covered in 10th grade - European History. Started with the Sumerians and basically finished with the Romans. Everything after the fall of Rome was skipped through in a few weeks at the end of the year. It's just a blur. Greece was a big part of it. For most of the year the teacher followed Herodotus.
11th grade was back to American history, and 12th grade was an optional Local history.
>>78907191
No, Richard Stamos.
>>78904892
I enjoy your history and some of your philosophers.
Most Americans don't think about Greece often, and very few have any idea about Greece post Greco-Roman wars.
In school we get a little about ancient Greece, Alexander the Great, Athens and Sparta, then ?????, then Rome and that's it.

Why do europeans insult themselves
>>78904892
Nobody really knows anything about Greece. We have shit like Greek restaurants and there's this idea that some sort of fine culture originates from Greece.
We're not part of the EU, and sit a continent away besides. I'm certain that most Americans have no idea of your debt, the same way that no one here really knows about Germany or Sweden gorging on refuges.

>>78911931
It's partly my fault for not listing chronologically. Nietzche has been on my mind as I've been pondering his ideas on morality. I've been arguing with my brother on morality. He is for censorship to protect children and for the removing of dissent whereas I am against censorship and indulge in dissent. I don't know if I will grasp what Nietzche was trying to tell us. Though, as Neitzche said, "A philosopher's may decide to by not understood as often as he is understood" or something like that. Have you studied Nietzche?

>>78912316
To certain extent yes, I've read all of his works except some of the earlier ones but I'm certainly no academic. Have you read Nietzsche's later works? They will probably considerably deepen out your understanding. Kaufman remarks that its easy for readers of Nietzsche to fall into the trap of reading his various aphorisms as if they stood alone, whereas he would argue, and I think Nietzsche would as well, that they should always be read in a broad context keeping in mind the continuum of Nietzsche's work.
As for your actual question on morality I would argue for an aristocratic system, censorship should be allowed as those who would naturally rise to the top will still do so regardless, whereas not censoring things might go over poorly for the lesser classes.
>>78911960
Also if it's any consolation you should really take it as a compliment. Europe's history is so deep and varied that it is difficult for outsiders to penetrate into. Certainly more so when they are not even trying.
Of course when your own people don't know it, there was a German bro in another thread saying his school never taught him about the Holy Roman Empire.
>>78906094

>>78905541
No, that was maybe in modern turkey when mostly Greeks lives there.
Then the turks genocided the Greeks and started copying their yoghurt and calling it Turkish yoghurt.
>>78912872
So, you would argue that absolute freedom allows itself to used as a trap?
I have the Birth of Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and Genealogy of Morals. Though, I haven't had them for very long.
I think you have a pessimistic view of humanity. Perhaps it is my childish view of the world that I consider all men capable of reason. This could be cognitive dissonance as I have been told by my family that I am barred from family gatherings if refuse to stop posting rebuttals to the "I'm a supporter of love" nonsense. Maybe it is childish to ask if they also "love murderers".
Perhaps the only real moral is to not question the status quo.

WHO /greek-in-germany/ HERE???
How can people ever think Greece is some sort of paradise?
Oh yeh, it has some islands. There's some nice coastal areas. If you drive around the countryside in summer you will occasionally be treated to some nice sights.
But Greece as a whole is not so great. It's far too hot, much of the countryside is just very boring and aside from ruins there's not that much there. Couple that with Greeks - a nation of balding at 20 years of age fat men who smoke and drink far too much and lie better and more than jews.
My family has had a house on Chalkidiki for a few years and while Greece HAS paradises in its territory, it is by no means a paradise.
By the way, Greeks are cool, they can be pretty fun and shit, until the Byzantine merchant blood shows.
>>78916095
I visit greece once or twice per year. The difference being, i go there with lots of money. If you got money in greece, it trully is the greatest country ive ever been to. The freedom is unmatched. The women are hot, in the big cities, the food is top-tier and the weather is almost perfect.
Greece is it true I can get cheap prostitutes there? And no I don't want to fuck Syrian men, I'm talking about attractive Greek whores, if so how much?

Although it's not true, many Americans, and if you don't believe me I'll introduce you to them, believe that Greeks invented the English language. They think many awesome positive things but are sad about the economy of Greece.

We like to eat gyros. Many Americans think gyros are Italian, and any salad can become Greek if it has feta in it.
As a 1/8 Greek man I wish my people were still as honorable as the great Spartans. Maybe one day if I make it big I shall return to the homeland and make Greece great again.
