Can someone please call @netanyahu and tell him to order his bots off me. They are swarming like flies
Listen Israeli bot. Youโre not fooling everyone. Stop projecting your own undercover mission on me. Iโm just a Greek who likes to build bridges. You are an Israeli bot. Itโs been established.
People form Southern California are 1 gazillion times ruder than people form NYC. Fight me about it.
Turkish ๐น๐ท man proposes to his Greek ๐ฌ๐ท girlfriend at the Konstantinos Argiros concert while Konstantinos celebrates with them
LA doesnโt have the characteristics of a city. Itโs a giant compilation of suburbs. It can never compete with NYC in any capacity. Only thing it wins is weather
You got it. I was explaining myself over and over like 6 years ago. I started to realize people who were rabid with hate for Turks didnโt give af about any context, nuance or gray area. It got to the point where there started to piss me off so much I enjoyed watching the Turkish trolls give them shit lol. But yeah anyway Iโm people over politics. Iโm all about building bridges. I appreciate you genuinely being inquisitive instead of just blindly believing in a Turk lol.
Itโs because itโs pushing out locals before our eyes. Greek and Turkish nationalism did the same but we didnโt have social media then so it was harder to be internationally outraged.
I spent years of my childhood in Greece and visited regularly until my 30s, although less frequently since moving to the US. I was born and raised in London.
My views differ from the Greeks on here, not necessarily Greeks in general. A lot of the Greek diaspora on X seem to be pro-junta conservatives, nationalists, or people who swallow whatever the media tells them. The average Greek Iโve encountered in Athens is far more open-minded.
And letโs not forget, Greeks have famously disagreed with each other throughout history. From the ancient city-states to modern Greek politics, disagreement and political division are practically Greek traditions. The fact that you seem to think Greeks should all share the same opinions shows a rather poor understanding of Greek culture and history.
My Greek is broken these days. I spoke it much better as a child, and whenever I return to Greece, it gradually comes back. Iโm culturally Greek Orthodox but agnostic in my beliefs.
As for Erdoฤan, I donโt think heโs a good leader, and I dislike Turkish nationalism. But letโs not pretend Greece doesnโt have its own nationalism and political problems. The main difference is that Greece is a freer society.
It always makes me laugh when people demand that I publicly condemn Erdoฤan as though Iโm some important politician whose statement the world is waiting for. His values are incompatible with mine. I donโt like him. I also donโt like Mitsotakis, particularly his governmentโs support for Israel despite its actions in Gaza, which I consider genocide.
Of course the Turkish governmentโs actions deserve criticism and condemnation. But so do the Greek governmentโs when warranted. I donโt believe criticism should depend on which flag someone happens to wave.
I donโt see being Greek as an obligation to defend Greece unconditionally or treat Turks as enemies. I can be proud of my heritage without subscribing to nationalism.
But youโre modelling a fabricated sample, not my actual DNA. My IllustrativeDNA results give me 4.2% Slavic, although I understand different models can give different results. Youโve gone from 17% to 10% now. What makes you so certain about my ancestry without even having my coordinates?
