This Is How Greek Neo-Nazis Deal With Confrontation On Live TV

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The video below is a great a preview of things to come in Greece. Per Bloomberg, Greek police on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for the spokesman of far-right party Golden Dawn for assaulting two left-wing politicians on live television.  Ilias Kasidiaris was shown on a live morning show jumping out of his seat and slapping Communist Party member Liana Kanelli three times after throwing a glass of water at leftist SYRIZA party member Rena Dourou. Golden Dawn, which was elected for the first time to parliament in a May 6 election, is accused of carrying out violent attacks against immigrants. Surely, being captured on live national TV beating up women will do wonders for restoring the party's image as that encouraging pacifism and peaceful resolution of problems.

And from IBT:

The spokesman for Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party has assaulted two woman MPs in a live broadcast from a television studio by slapping one and chucking water at another.

Ilias Kasidiaris, who is already facing accusations that he was an accomplice in the mugging of a student, threw his water at Rena Dourou of Syriza (the Coalition of the Radical Left) and then slapped the Communist Party (KKE) member Liana Kanelli three times.

Police have issued an arrest warrant for him.

"When you're slapped by a beast, it's a slap on the cheek of every citizen," Kanelli said after the attack.

A spokesman for the New Democracy party said: "The people must send them [Golden Dawn] to the dustbin of history."

Kasidiaris reportedly threatened journalists and technicians offscreen also.

Golden Dawn, which obtained 7 percent of the vote and 21 seats at the parliamentary, is considered a neo-Nazi party in Greece.

Leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos has rejected claims of affiliation with Nazism, even though the party's emblem, a squared spiral, and its colours recall closely the swastika. Michaloliakos made a Hitler-style salute when he was elected in 2010 to Athens city council.

A video published on YouTube showed muscular supporters of Golden Dawn urging journalists to rise from their seats as a sign of respect for Michaloliakos when he took the stage. Those who refused were expelled from the room.

Well, if one's country is going down, may as well go down swinging. But perhaps there are worhtier targets than women...

These are not women. They are zionist banksters’ agents in Greece. They are traitors to their country and its people and must pay for their actions.

It appears that ZeroHedge is a provocateur deliberately exciting bad feeling against people who love their country and their people.

It is OK for ZH when police thugs in America are beating up and killing Americans including women and children. After all, one must pay its bills selling paid commercials.

Yes, you're right, the two aren't exactly the same. Franco, for instance, was a fascist, but wasn't a Nazi.

Many people think our countries are socialist, but most Western polities' economies are run along fascist rather than than socialist lines.

since this is a point of view that is not shared by Nazis, Neo-Nazis, Fascists, Communists and Socialists, I think that even if you were right in principle you can't be right in fact. It's akin to say "for me, you are all coloured" to a Chinese and an African.

Oh, and the reason communists, fascists, et al. don't share the sentiment that they are, in fact, all the same, is because they're fighting over who gets to run the State, and monopolize the political means. Tapeworms versus roundworms.

I don't see where fascists are being supported in the thread. Some comments about slapping politicians in general, some wishes for Communists to be slapped (though the ladies are both Communist), some stupid comments about Northeners and Southerners in regard to how they treat women, and of course the usual sexist/anti-sexiest/feminist/anti-feminist remarks. Up to now, of course.

What differs is: what we do about it.

Look, it's pretty simple. Women getting smacked around stands as a fact of life, Finland or Greece doesn't matter. Ethics, is not at issue, there we agree. How it gets addressed on a societal level is where the problems begin. The 'outrage' of people who see something like is different in the Balkans than Sweden. Read Pierre Bayle who had interesting thoughts on the subject.

I'm not condemning nor defending anybody here. In all honesty, I'm indifferent.

Yeah, but be fair, he only had a glassful to work with.

I thought that her reaction to that was by far the most interesting part of the whole clip. There she was, yelling non-stop and making that irritating hand-chopping gesture repeatedly (as if to say, "I'm cutting through the crap here, listen to this because I've got all the answers"), and she gets half a pint of water thrown at her, and she shuts up instantly.

And before I'm told how racist and Nazi it is of me to have noticed something that happened, because that means that I must approve of it -- spare yourself the effort.

Moral of the story:

'You steal from me with the help of the government; I beat the crap out of you!'

 

Isn't this just a 'free market response’ to getting robbed?

I didn't use to believe in violence - then I grew up. The powers that be can spin this all they want; but deep down, they're crapping themselves. Not amount of Sachi & Sachi bullshit is going to work this time, they have played the spin game to long. Now everyman and his dog are going to vote violence because that is the only left that will get the MPs attention.

The status quo parties can argue against violence all they want, but they are robbing their own people everyday and hiding behind the army.

As Nelson Mandela said, when political dialogue no longer works, violence is the only option left to you.

Exactly.

If the mainstream parties has simply been honest, purged their corrupt MPs, admitted they were wrong and sorted the issue out, none of this would have happened. 

Instead they have spun this so far and so long, the extremes are voted in, not because the people support them, but to punish the middle parties.

Now that a confrantiona has broken out on air, expect it to get worse. As the police are now marginalised by Golden Dawn as protecting the status quo. 

When people get this angry, they will stike out and anything or anyone. Just so long as someone is made to suffer. This is now going to get ugly.

With what of the factual content of the comment are you disagreeing? The values of multiracialism, feminism, cultural relativism, the sexual revolution etc. all have their origins in the radical left and are all accepted as a matter of principle by contemporary 'mainstream' politicians. Things like nationalism, ethnocentrism, male authority, the traditional family, sovereignty of parents over their own children, sexual conservatism etc. were, conversely, taken for granted by 'mainstream' politicians of the 'West' early last century, as they had been essentially throughout European history. Only the most radically red of red radicals would then have suggested that it was a matter of social progress to question the meaning of national identity, to call for massive immigration from the third world, to pass legislation regulating 'hate speech', to have employment equality programs for minorities, to watch have ones teenage daughters running off with descendents of slaves, to homosexual 'couples' to adopt children, to legalise homosexual marriage and so forth.

   multiracialism, feminism, cultural relativism, the sexual revolution

All of these are supported by the radically "left" idea that people should be treated EQUALLY within the eyes of the law.  In other words: it's not OK for laws to treat people of one ethnicity differently in a free society. 

You can worry about left and right if you like, but political progress over the past thousand years has been understood to mean INCREASED individual liberty with regards to treatment by government.

For sure it all sucks if you want to be a slaveowner.

Equality under the law is not what multiracialism, feminism, cultural relativism and the like have delivered. Where's my NAAWP? or my Congressional White Caucus? Would such equivalent racial affinity groups be legal under the USSA's diversity mandate?

As you say: "it's not OK for laws to treat people of one ethnicity differently in a free society." And so the racial and gender quotas mandated by the redistributionist Left are not equal protection. The State's codification of such people as "protected classes", is not equal protection.

The massively invasive State bureaucracy necessary to enforce said "equality" is not liberty. Nor is the reduction of society to its lowest common denominator progress.

The law must be blind. People aren't. And a free citizen should be allowed to associate with, transact with, rent to, employ or avoid anyone they damn well choose to, or he is not free.

Yeah, there's always a problem when you try to codify something into a system of laws.  That's why I'm an anarchist.

If you want a White People's Party, I know they exist already.  You could start another if you're not happy with the options here. 

Personally, I never really felt like being born "white" was one of my great accomplishments that I deserve any credit for, but if that's the best you've got to fall back on, you do what you gotta do.

Good point, and further: The women sitting around the table are not innocent and unaware, they are political activists, by choice and free will. They are ready to use the government to impose politically sanctioned violence. They are not innocent bystanders being caught in a fight by accident, they are actively pushing a political agenda.

Anyone who has seen the Taiwan or Korean parliaments in action would laugh at this petty greek TV catfight. And yes, the taiwanese women fight too. They even fight each other. Just search youtube. And in case anyone wonders, Taiwan and Korea provides a far better economic structure and more wealth to its citizens than Greece.

Politically speaking, men (or other women) has little to gain by providing "feminine privileges" to women who seek power over them and equal or superior status to them. Unless women are expected to exhibit certain feminine qualities, such as acknowledging themselves being weaker, there is nothing to gain for others (men or women) to respect such privileges. The politican in this case is doing this calculation and realizes that he has little to lose politically by engaging in a battle. In fact, he may gain support, both from men (and women paradoxically), by demonstrating that he does not take her cr*p (whatever cr*p is from his viewpoint) from anyone. Hey, if he can fight for himself, he can fight for me too.

Basically - if there is a fight, you need to fight (applies to anyone who enters the fight) and may the best fighter win. Whoever enters the fight, needs to fight.

Riiiight. Watch the other two men in the video: sitting back, staying quiet, de-escalating. They knew what was going down.

It's a fair assumption they didn't escalate because they knew the dude would fight. That, or they're not political enemies, and didn't have a bone to fight over. But all men know what happens when you start a fight.

60 years of Feminized 21st Century society doesn't negate a couple hundred million years of mammalian evolution. Never will.

Ah yes.  The end of the modern world is also the end of modern feminism. The notion that a woman is equivalent to a man and can stand next to a man and say her mind.  That she will be respected as an equal.  That her words will matter.  That she will be protected by the law.

Those are soon going to be relics of the oil age, because, when the chaos becomes intense, men will revert to their biological baseline, which is violence, and nobody will have the time or inclination to answer charges that a man slapped a woman for getting out of line.

Massive, unyielding regression, economically, technologically, infrastructurally, culturally, socially . . . that's just part of this great unwind.  In a few decades, when oil and natural gas are too expensive for most, paleolithisism will reign in the home.

Oh, and while I eschew violence, and particularly violence against physically frail opponents, like the chubby woman this meat head was attacking, in fairness to the fascist the woman ran her mouth the entire time he was doing his Hilter impression.  While I wouldn't have hit her, I certainly would have had the urge.

I concede that it's a very difficult notion to comprehend, but, once you comprehend it, it's as obvious as the sun in the sky.

The belief that the Western world's treatment of women (and minorities) is somehow the result of societal evolution, whereby time, consideration, and wisdom have conspired to allow us to arrive at the conclusion that women should be treated as equals, and not second class citizens, is inanely irrational.  This perspective implies that we've been on a one way road of discovery, and that women (and minorities) will never lose any ground they have gained, because now we somehow "know better."  Wrong.  Our raging biology has simply been temporarily suppressed.

What has allowed the West to, temporarily, in the last 100 years - and really only in the last 40 or so - treat women better than the previous 10,000 years, is simply, as another poster in this side thread sardonically noted (and was blasted for it by folks who can't recognize sarcasm (a trait that seems to be becoming more common)), ABUNDANCE.  As the very temporary spike in energy per capita subsides, so too will the culture and society that developed around it.

Without cheap energy, men and women will revert to their pre-industrial roles, and, likewise, the societal amenities that women have come to expect will begin to deteriorate.

Without cheap energy, women will either have no children and struggle to maintain what they have now, and therefore be Darwinized out of the gene pool, or they will have children, and, just like women all over the world who don't have access to 10 cents per kWh power, and they will spend most of their time raising their children, to the exclusion of politics, employment outside of the home, education, and so on.

Or did you think the couple billion women all around the world who are currently treated like useful, talking dogs are treated that way simply because their part of the world simply doesn't "know better" yet?  Silly goose.

Biology drives human behavior.  There's a guy in China/India/Indonesia/Honduras/Nigeria right now beating his wife.  He will not be subject to any local criminal prosecution.  What separates that man from "Western" men is energy availability, and nothing else.

You've missed the entire concept.  Completely.  Ideology only drives human behavior in times of abundance/excess.  Like now, in the Western world.

In times of competition and scarcity, which is almost always, biology is our cruel overlord.

To wit - the way the woman in the hut/home is treated in rural Iraq, rural China, and rural Nigeria is about the same, regardless of "ideology." 

But, sir, you spoke it like most believe it - that they can conquer biology with words.  Only, sadly, when the listeners are fat and happy.

I see. As it so happens I actually work in the very field you are referring to and you are speaking nonsense specifically known as sociobiology. Biological determinism. Darwinian evolution is not a theory of social progress, you are clueless. Feel free to read:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Mismeasure-Man-Stephen-Gould/dp/B0043NGJHI/ref...

Also, on another thing you mention: scarcity. Again, we are in a period of abundance and mass production. You've confused wants and needs on a basic level.

You need not of conceded anything old chap, i know only too well where you were coming from, it's just that the notion you want me to comprehend is a construct of your limited imagination.

As for the biological determinism and moral relativism that you just butchered in true neophyte style… you should take a course in the humanities mate, stop trying to work out the future path of the human soul using peak oil theory, the cognitive quantum leaps are hysterical. Perhaps I should turn on my megaphone here…STEP-AWAY-FROM-THE-DETERMINISM. What is the saying again? “A madman is not someone who has lost the power of reason…a madman is someone who has lost everything except the power of reason”.

Self-control, morality, civilization, empathy, measured reason, communication, kindness, humanity, education, activism, sociability and social intelligence, community, culture, the evolution of the species where the good get the upper hand and the festering maggot sociopaths are consistently rooted out of each generation… if you think all that was built on oil abundance you’re a fucking fruitcake.

Gender and sexual equality, the ever declining trends in bullying, animal cruelty, racism, husband/wife battery, rape and sexual violence including child molestation etc etc…what you are saying is that “biologically” we will ignore all these when the gas runs out. Maybe you will, but I wont.

I love the professor long winded types who refer to "courses" that one should take to understand how things are and will be.  Like economics courses, I suppose.

You won't, eh?  You'll still be the decent, modern man that you are?  Right? 

Until some hungry man knocks your teeth down your throat as you pontificate on whatever social theory of behavior it is to which you subscribe.  Then you'll mumble in your own blood.  Because hunger does not respond to reason, and your words are just those - words, and likely words from a man who has never been without food or shelter.

Kanelli is a member of the Greek Communist Party or KKE and is one of the most aggressive talkers around, using slang and sometimes offensive language. She even smokes when she is live on air something which is not allowed on Greek TV but nobody gives a damn.

As i said she is very abusive in her tone and voice as well and in her remarks. She had been asking for it for a long time now.

I am totally against violence and i agree with most here that Ilias is out of line in this case even though he had to endure her remarks and the lady's from SYRIZA.

Both called him names and accused him of being a NAZI and all the usual stuff (also a traitor be calling him GermanoTsolias, a German sect which collaborated wiht the NAZIS in WWII in Greece).Also, the SYRIZA woman even mentioned a court hearing who Ilias had on Tuesday and was postponed. So, it was also a personal attack to him and that's how he considered it and attacked.

Golden Dawn are mostly junta lovers and espescially Kasidiaris.

They are not NAZIS or even FASCISTS so much, as lovers of the millitary regime during the 7year junta in Greece (1967-1974). They believe that it is the solution to Greece's problems. So, that makes them enemies of the Democratic State.

Many have harboured them, like the millitary and the police and have used them to disband peacefull demonstrations of left wingers and anarchists. They are very "useful" sometimes and they can be very handy to have...

That is why i mentioned the saying with the snake...
