thinking of the "extraordinary" days in Athens
Are they really extraordinary and the cries of upcoming revolution...
I'm a sort of pessimistic and don't think that this will not trigger a revolutionary move I'm well aware that these are also the reflections of a greater social depression. Unfrankly or not, goverments cannot respond to this depression by just a rapid bill on economic grants with a lot of zeros. Furthermore they are even not willing to act in that way expanding the budgets for social payments. And what's a pitty that this depression does not effect other countries to prevent a spread to them in contrats to the eco crisis newly. Shame on us (ppl of developing countries like turkey) that our governments are not afraid that this protest can spread to us, they don't expect us to react the same as our Greek friends to show our discontent.
You know what even if the demonstrates would had been just bec of the police violence there or here, it would have a legitimate ground. So many young ppl in Turker passed away by police bullet but nearly noone voiced up...You know what they now do?, they organize protests for Alexandros Grigoropoulos; popular culture has even surrended alternative souls. Of course my disagreement is not for the solidarity they show for AG but what about all other no-name deads?..
So you see I am a bit more concerned about the declining reliability of the protests than cheering a rev. spring to approach (if it ever is)...
