Insofar as voting is real, people will vote for the “far-right.”

Unfortunately, most of the far-right in Greece was arrested on fake charges right when they were on the verge of winning.

Now, they are reconstituting themselves… but won’t they just get arrested again?

Democracy means you are not allowed to vote for people the government doesn’t like.

NBC News:

Far-right parties won almost 13% of the national vote in Greece’s countrywide elections over the weekend, in what experts warn could be the most significant in a recent string of victories for similar groups across Europe.

While the ruling center-right New Democracy Party won a landslide victory, with 40.5% of the vote, its triumph was overshadowed by the success of the Spartans, a recently formed far-right nativist group that gained 12 seats in Greece’s 300-seat Parliament.

Widely seen as a direct descendant of the outlawed neo-Nazi Golden Dawn group, which was declared a criminal organization in 2020, the Spartans were enthusiastically endorsed by Ilias Kasidiaris, a former Golden Dawn lawmaker.

DEMOCRACY!

Kasidiaris tweeted his support and congratulations from prison, where he is serving a 13-year sentence for his part in Golden Dawn’s criminality, which included acts of violence against migrants and political rivals.

Marta Lorimer, an expert in far-right politics in Europe at the London School of Economics, said that the success of the radical right in Greece and elsewhere has had a profound political effect: it has made traditionally moderate center-right parties more extreme.

“The main challenge is that you have a center right that’s copying the messaging of the far right. The prime minister can now say that the election results show people want more far-right policies,” she said.

“It’s true that these parties are doing better than before, but for me it’s more the case that the people in the middle might see this [far-right extremism] as helpful. To me that’s more worrying.”

On the question of a European wave of far-right tendencies, Georgios Samaras, an expert in Greek politics and political economy at Kings College, London, pointed out that some of Greece’s radical parties would be banned in Germany, where the use of extremist symbols, including the swastika, is outlawed. And very few movements, of any persuasion, would survive their biggest party being declared a criminal enterprise, he said.

“That is why Greece stands out: neo-Nazis are re-emerging into politics after the leaders were convicted [for being part of a] right-wing criminal organization,” Samaras said.

“And yes, there is a right-wing turn in Europe, but Greece is something more extreme than Finland, for example, or Spain, or Germany with AfD. We are seeing something new emerging in European politics,” he added.

…

In Greece, the 241,000 people who voted for Spartans “are actually committed neo-Nazi supporters,” according to Samaras, the expert from Kings College.

“People know what Golden Dawn is,” he said. “Golden Dawn was convicted as a criminal organization, it orchestrated the murders of several people and has participated in several anti-migration activities over the past 10 years.”

At the height of its popularity in 2015, Golden Dawn won 380,000 votes, 7% of the total.

In Sunday’s election two other radical right-wing parties, Greek Solution and the Democratic Patriotic Movement, known for the Greek acronym NIKI, won 4.4% and 3.7% of the vote, respectively. In total, far-right groups won 664,000 votes in a country that covers a large area but has a population of just 10 million.

Golden Dawn was about to break loose, and start hitting 15%, then 20%, then take over the government.

If that were not the case, they wouldn’t have been arrested.

Are they gonna do this again?

Fellow white actor David Schwimmer admits he comes from a family with a long history of subversive actions intended to dismantle the foundations of the goy society they live in.

The Guardian:

Schwimmer’s social activism started with his parents. “My mom was a very vocal, groundbreaking feminist activist lawyer [and occasional actor]. So my earliest memories of theatre were watching these feminist productions that my mom was in and being on the picket line with my parents and fighting for women’s rights and gay rights.

“That’s the environment I grew up in. I’m very aware of my own privilege as a heterosexual white male whose parents were able to pay for a private education for me. I’ve always felt a sense of responsibility to give back and to call things out if I see an abuse of power.”

Somehow this didn’t apply to Harvey Weinstein, though, for whom Schwimmer once directed a movie.

As an actor on Friends, he agitated to have mixed-race relationships depicted on screen.

Friends is also a product of the pre-“woke” era when it comes to race. “Maybe there should be an all-black Friends or an all-Asian Friends,” Schwimmer says. “But I was well aware of the lack of diversity and I campaigned for years to have Ross date women of colour. One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian American woman, and later I dated African American women. That was a very conscious push on my part.

“It’s interesting also how the show handled the Judaism of the characters,” he continues. “I don’t think that was earth-shattering or groundbreaking at all, but I for one was glad that we had at least one episode where it wasn’t just about Christmas. It was also Hanukkah and, even though I played the Hanukkah armadillo” – Ross wore an armadillo costume – “I was glad that we at least acknowledged the differences in religious observation.”

Interesting that Schwimmer’s push for diversity didn’t extend to real life. When he eventually married in 2010, I’m sure it was just an incredible cohencidence that his bride, Zoe Buckman, happened to be halachically Jewish.

Try to imagine this:

Group A conquers a large territory, then quickly begins building it into one of the greatest nations in the world.

Group B comes to Group A and say “oy vey, we are poisecuted all over the world because of our religion, please let us in.”

Group A feels bad for Group B. Group A also knows what it’s like to be a persecuted religious group. Plus their religion is somewhat tied to Group B’s religion. Plus this new land they are building is supposed to be the land of freedoms.

Fast forward 150 years.

Group B now owns almost all of the media in the great nation of freedom that Group A built. They use this media to pump out nonstop anti-Group A propaganda.

Group A is afraid to even criticize Group B now, while Group B viciously mocks and attacks Group A, the group that opened the doors for them in their time of need.

Now Group A has to deal not just with Group B, but with Groups B C D E F and G as well, all of whom were let in and are led against Group A by Group B.

Now Group A is on the way out in their own country and will be replaced by the other groups.

Shockingly, many members of group A have even turned against their own group in the hopes of getting a pat on the back by Group B.

What is the moral of the story?

Yes, yes. Good goy.
