The Sheer Absurdity Of Greek "Demands" As Summarized In One Protest Banner
These days Greeks aren't exactly sure what they want when it comes to their relationship with Europe and who can blame them?
Staying in the currency bloc means more austerity, perpetual debt servitude, and the subjugation of democracy to the German purse string, while Grexit means redenomination, social upheaval, and the reintroduction of the drachma which will, at least temporarily, plunge the country back to what will effectively be a barter economy.
This political, social, and economic Catch 22 has led to alternating protests and demonstrations between those who want out, and those who think the costs of abandoning the euro are simply too great to bear.
Underscoring the confusion is the following poster from Monday's pro-Europe rally, which reads "YES to Europe, NO to Austerity":
Unfortunately for this protester (and for Greeks in general), these two concepts are mutually exclusive.

YES to free money, NO to Europe.
Yes to my cake and eating it, too!
Yes to me,myself and I
Bitchez be trippin'
What's the significance of the muppet on her hand?
Socialism will fail, the lazi-tards will suffer, and austerity will only grow, because government greed will never end...
Expect to see many gov. programs & services cut because I assure you that the last thing to go will be Gov. Pay & Pensions, which are the most absurd thing about all of the economic woes they are facing, and the peons don't even realize that, but they can cry about the austerity all they want, the only other viable alternative (at this time) is digital currency I'm afraid...
I'm tired of this Greek show. Is there any way to change the channel?
Yes to slavery for every unborn child.
Angry muppet bird says "Bitcoins are for Greeks".
Can you show me how to get, how to get to Sesame streeeet??
You get tired because it takes Greek years what Wall St just got in blink.
Gridiron (football) season starts in a couple months. You can change the channel in September.
Nope. The advertisers just paid up for another 3 months. Ugh.
Right, socialism will fail, but it started in Washington DC in 2008. Don't blame the Greeks.
Finally an article for wolferl and he's nowhere to be seen.
/irony
He has to sleep sometime...THANK GOD.
As to ZH's assertion, "These days Greeks aren't exactly sure what they want..."
Is anybody sure about what they want?
THROW THOSE PATHETIC MUPPET CARRYING DEADBEAT CAKE EATING AND WANTING TO KEEP IT TOO GREEKS OUT OF THE EU ALREADY
Wolferl has actually the only valid and reasonable response to all of this.
They won't leave on their own. Time to show them the door.
The possibilities are really endless:
-"it's not a puppet, it's my best friend!"
-an alter ego?
-a "muppet" analogy...probably giving her way to much credit there though.
-a place to hide the drugs she's selling?
-The "brains" of the two.
-Taxes should be directed to the puppet.

People are so fucking clueless. Must be what the Greek version of an Obama supporter looks like.
They are literally the Greek version of the Obama voters, with parties funded by the Obama adminstration and Obama cronies like George Soros, Georgi's wealthy is entirely politically dependent.

Soros don't use his own money, he's using state money to foment war, he's long on weapons manufacturers and tax collectors.
Can't believe we have an ex-NAZI Commie POS looter billionaire Soros setting global public policy.
Soooo the cold war ended, how about an accounting and prosecution?
...Obama cronies like George Soros
Shouldn't that be Soros cronies like Obama? Never forget who holds the real power...
"We just wanna be the Detroit of the Eu! "
Do not believe anybody is going to cut off their water or let the place rot. The Federal government abandoned Detroit to the scavangers. Detroit should have threatned Washington to spend money there instead of Iraq and those turbin head turds.
It's correctly spelled 'turban' but of course the Iraqis, being Arabs, don't wear turbans (unlike Persians and Sikhs). In fact Iraqis wear a 'keffiyeh'...that's with two 'f's'.
And yeah...those Iraqis really are arseholes aren't they...allowing YOUR government to spend YOUR tax dollars bombing them back to the stone age for the last 25 years and murdering/ maiming millions of civilians during multiple illegal invasions by YOUR department of attack on the basis of a fabricated pretence of WMDs and the 9/11 inside job. What pricks huh?
If YOU want YOUR ignorance, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR IGNORANCE...you fuckwit.
She is just aspiring to be a banker: they never lose

WTF I posted this below "I see her hand is up someone's ass" comment???
The gimme, gimme, gimme party.
What do we want? FREE SHIT!
When do we want it? NOW!
Yeah, Blankfein, Dimon & co didn't need to go to the streets with a poster, they just got that in minutes from their Socialist Congress.
I see she has her hand up someone's ass. Greeks. hahahaha
It's not only the Greeks who gave women a vote.
I think the orange chicken is Europe, and Greece has them by the balls..
So who does the fuzzy puppet represent?
An anonymous washed up hooker who took one too many fistings up the you know what?
(Because the anonymous losers have taken over!)
Greeks who are presently employed.
Her Finance Minister after she gets elected as an Independent.
German taxpayers
Yeah I've heard that about Germans.
That's an Obama supporter.
I dont see any tears.
After watching vice news, France is a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off. Greece and all other poor countries are just adding fuel to the fire. Really don't see how the bankers or polititions can put the fire out.
I don't believe in the magic bullet theory.
You won't get elected in this day and age unless you promise magic bullets, which of course, are like unicorn farts. I see very few people with actual leadership qualities who make it into public office these days, and by leadership qualities, I mean somebody who will tell you how it is, what needs to be done, and then convince you to pitch in.
Nigel Farage couldn't even get his own district to vote him in.
The Euro has failed. The EZ is a prison and if there's no GREXIT, then let's start GERXIT preps. Germans always blow shit up when they've finally had enough. None of the other Europeans are as explosive as the Germans.
Yep that is the only real question - are the German people prepared to carry on supporting Greece, France , Italy, Spain and Portugal, to mention just the bigger ones.
Germany has the most to lose by staying in this mess.
YES to Slavery!
NO to Brains!
.....fuckin moron
YES TO MARRIAGE

More like,

Yes to the perks, No to the work.
Greek Lives Matter!
Hands up don't cut!
No Bailots No peace!
Same shit different toilet folks.

The company claimed assets of $82.9 million and debts of $55.7 million, according to its bankruptcy petition filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver. Midway is based in nearby Englewood, Colo., but incorporated in Canada. It will seek equivalent protection in Canada, according to a press release.
The company filed for bankruptcy after reaching a deal with lenders that will allow it to continue to access cash to operate during its restructuring.
assets minus liabilities = net worth
you mean midway gold isn't golden with its gold?
On the one hand the EU/Troika are bloodsucking vampires. On the other hand (a lot of) Greeks want free money at someone else's expense.
I've lost sympathy for all of them.
I don't blame them, they just want a small slice of the big cakes the banks are getting since 2008 for free. Greeks are just smart and not as dumb as Germans or Americans.
Yes, it is crazy, but then again the Greeks just want what people in every other overly indebted country want, which is to be able to keep spending beyond their means and have politicians keep what were actually never sustainable promises. Japan and the US just get away with it because they can and do print money at will, but there really is no difference and it is hard to be Japanese and/or American and stand in judgment of the Greeks.
Old saying: You can't have your cake, and eat it also.
...But, if you can keep printing more cake, you can appear to for awhile.
This is photo is probably unrelated, but remember, so-called color revolutions buy off various parts of a society, Those groups are then pitted against each other (Always about money, power, and division.). While they are battling each others, power and Zion installs a new group of tyrants to serve their plunder and tyranny.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
"There will be mutton."
Clearly the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
Why is that absurd? If Greeks do austerity or not, they can't be thrown out of the Eurozone. You can argue that it is immoral, but nobody has to be surprised about that after taxpayers had to throw trillions at a corrupt banking system.
This is the new concept of reality....give me free stuff forever..that is what she wants......and millions are just like her..have no idea how an economy works...pun intended....works is the key word..
Greeks are willing to kill Greeks to stay in the EU and keep looting the Greeks that still have assets, the EU is willing to support those Greeks not willing to cut spending but still willing to loot neighbors, the EU put those Greeks in power with a "mandate to loot".
Bankruptcy, default and fire sale is the objective of the EU and Syriza.
War is eminent
Why don't they just speak English like normal people.
You got that right. Observe that their yes looks more like nay. Their 'no' appears to be more closely related to 'aye'. No wonder they are a screwed up tribe. Their primitive letters look kind of suspicious and subversive, in the same way as Russian. The contrived jargon and patois that these foreigners come up with, to entertain tourists, is tiresome. Hopefully they speak a civilized language when tourists aren't around.
She needs a Yes We Can button.
I'm thinking she means "yes we can't"
Evidently they don't get it yet. Your country throws in with USA then your country gets trashed.
Failure is built upon a foundation of absurdity. The house of cards will fall.
That guy who does the X22 report fucks this up every time. He'll say central bankers want to impose austerity and give more debt, but he doesn't realize those two things are exact opposites. Austerity is when you drastically cut spending in order to pay down debt and avoid default. The Greeks are against austerity because spending cuts are very painful.
There are 3 ways out of this:
1 - Actual austerity without defaulting (slash pensions, slash welfare, slash healthcare, slash education, slash everything).
2 - Default on the debt, keep using the Euro, and have forced austerity because nobody will lend money to the government.
3 - Leave the euro, start printing drachma, and basically default on the debt through high inflation. Pensioners still get pension payments, but the money they get has such little value that it can't buy anything.
There's no easy way out of this.
The Sheep are revolting. Revoltingly dumb and sickening. Wishing to remain on the periphery of an elitist entitled Club EU tells me that the Slave Mentality can never be beaten out of these fuckers.
In fact these sheep fuckers disgust me more than the bankers.
What does one expect from a country which so easily confuses its orifaces for sexual intercourse?
Just an observation, perhaps not at all related.
The banner actually reads:
YES TO EUROPE
NO TO
"Litotita" here means "austerity," but it can also mean plain old "thrift or frugality," or even "chastity." Self-control in general.
That's what socialists and the FSA have always been opposed to. Self-control. Freed from any constraints to their behavior, they'll eat and drink and fuck till they and their pups run out of food. Then they'll either starve to death or invade a country where people have plenty of food, because they have the self-control not to eat and fuck more than they can afford to, and eat theirs too.
Repeat until the sensible defeat them in battle and either enslave or exterminate them. They want to live like animals, they can die like animals.
"Down with self control!" That'll be the mad old bitch Greece's last words, after she's finished blowing out the brains of her children and tossing them into their mass grave, before jumping in and using the last bullet on herself.
"Down with self control!" Let's put that on the grave marker as a warning to others, and on the grave of the last socialist too.
Hitler really had no real need to wage WWII.
Germany could have far more easiyl have subjugated
the entirety of Europe with just the IMF and the EU...
On top of which he could have obtained USAIPAC backing
for the coup.
?????? ????? ??????
Must be Kievistan
nazi nazi nazi. nazi nazi natz!
na na na, na na na, na-nah nah-na na!
nazi!!!
Liberal twat
you mean this lofo voter can't have her cake and eat it too? that's so unfair
The problem with the lady at the protest, is that no one wants to have her Greek cake or eat it.
Bonds! yes greek bonds . I want to buy greek bonds, what! yes, yes i see the fuckin light.
That's exactly why I was sceptical from begining about Syriza making Grece leave eurozone: even if they'd want it, they just don't have vast support for this decision in society.
Greeks will have to understand that these ideas are 'mutually exclusive' and it will take some time, it will take form of series of government crises, extreme changes from one viewpoint to the other until Greek finally accept this simple truth.
the sign says
I WANT TO PARTY LIKE CHRLIE SHEEN.....
