  • @finishingDutch@lemmy.world @nogooduser@lemmy.world lol, you try to find logic. I’m Greek. This government almost constantly tries (and unfortunately manages…) to push measures using some very twisted logic. The main idea behind all these is that they are gonna profit from it. Also by keeping the people busy with work it’s gonna make it less likely to act against the government or even socialize with other people, thus worsening any unity among the people. And they mask it as a good measure.

    It’s the same people who tried to convince us that bringing private universities will be good, again using their illogical logic. (They pushed this during the winter exams so that students wouldn’t rise against, but fortunately the gov’s actions were met with huge resistance. Still, even after all this they passed the law…)

    This political party is trying very hard to dismantle Greece and take us years back years. And it’s their second term in a row… It’s their 5th year in power in a row and we have at least ~3 more years…

    Now it’s fire season, you can watch us as Greece will soon be burning literary and the gov will ~only try to evaccuate areas and blame it to the people instead of being proactive against wildfires (or combating them with proper means).🥲





  • I tend to wear them on public transportation:

    a) in my city I wear them because we have bad public transportation and people tend to be dangerously packed inside the buses (this issue recently has started to be alleviated), so to protect my self (and also show that things arent well inside) I wear the mask.

    b) in other foreign cities I wear the mask in public transportation because:

    1)I dont want to be sick on vacations

    2)Different countries probably(?) have kinda different strains of viruses and such, so it may be more dangerous for me.








  • Apart from safety reasons, it’s a way of protesting against their actions (I know, there are other ways of protesting too, I took part in some of those as well).

    Btw, I think it’s more popular (and cheaper) to just get the bus than the plane, Greece isn’t a big coutry.

    Generally speaking they are probably safe since this may be the only deadly train accident I know of in Greece, but I can’t trust my life to their ~unregulated-unmaintained systems and I don’t want to support them financially, at least as long as they don’t change and just try to cover up a mass murder.
