What's Wrong With These People?

Greece and its government seem to espouse a kind of "left-wing" lax-ism which is unique in that it is the glorification of absurdity :

a love for the loser & the criminal seen as the underdog (losers, criminals & sundry are checked for the reasons underpinning & thereby their deviance and thereby absolving their crimes???!!); veneration of the lowest standard and meritocracy is vilified ("leading", higher calibre schools have been abolished); the rule of law is subordinate to the interests of pressure groups (civil servants pay less tax, PPC employees get different pay levels, etc, etc); the "interests of the workers" primes over other considerations according to the government -- even if there are very few blue collar workers in Greece (12% of work / unemployed force); foreign investment is pursued verbally but private operation is discouraged (restrictive labour law and operating licensing, high fines and expensive social security, many unexpected "nuisance taxes", etc; planned investments by Siemens, Benz, TVX Gold, wind energy group, etc, were initially or definitively repelled: "we don't want investment");

And, at the end of the day, "politically correct" in a country that officially endorses extremist left-wing while condemning extremist right wing (such as the Golden Dawn party -- which, btw is the runner up in recent elections) and teaming up with a right wing naysayer, a country which disallows business but does not touch civil servants found guilty of criminal neglect or appropriation of funds... etc etc means, simply:
*anyone can run for elections (if they pay of course), extremist, terrorist, psychopath and sundry and get elected;
*any absurdity goes, especially if the absurdity goes against common practise.



It is amazing that a right-left wing coalition of thwarted adolescents continues to hoodwink the population -- or at least 60% who did not vote for them with myths about conspiracy to overthrow the government, coups planned by bankers, dark secrets etc. A minister who visibly spends his time travelling and speaking and drinking; another who frees a terrorist sentenced with a life sentence "for humanitarian reasons" (how about the victims' humanitarian rights) and because he is no longer a threat because he is near-blind (so is another minister; we assume that the minister is near-useless in his position as well); yet another who abolishes selection criteria in academia because that promotes inequality...

Amazingly,  amongst the majority are parties composed of normal people such as the Potami (river; where did they find that name?)

Hopefully one day soon, 60% of Greeks who did not vote for the present government will snap out of their comma and realise the ridicule before the global community turns away in disgust.
