We had it coming!

I know that I shouldn't laugh with matters of national importance, but when a random advertiser of an art exhibition transforms the Greek flag into what you see below, I can't help thinking that we had it coming! 
We think that how Skopjie will be called is of universal importance. This is not propaganda against Greece! This is the mere truth seen ( Read more... )

it's not the name, mate - they could call it Athens for all I care. it might be ok if it was just the name. it's all the rest that they claim which is just plain wrong (and I doubt that other European countries would just accept it if it was about them).
and sorry, but yes, it is propaganda against greece. and highly insulting, considering all the connotations that the swastika carries. and it was done quite on purpose, with no hint of humour in mind, you can be sure about that, as much as I'd also like to believe the opposite. some things are just over the line.

I don't know... for certain most people I know don't care about the name and they don't have nationalistic ideas. But who are promoted the most? Nazis are overpromoted in TV and carry people away with them... There is very little calm discussion. And if this is insulting... it probably is but even if not most people, some certainly deserve it!

oh most certainly... and all the extremists certainly deserve it (God, people who think that the ancient greek civilization was the best ever to exist... egyptians, anyone?) but the thing is, it wasn't just aimed at them. and it's just, man, and considering everything else that's going on, I just can't believe it was done innocently.

No, it was not innocent... I never thought that. But it was an art exhibition. Those figures in the middle are suposed to look funny I think. And humor can be very stingy sometimes...

The slavomacs have a real issue with nazism due to their old allegiances. they collaborated with the bulgarian occupation forces in greek macedonia to ethnically cleanese 100,000 greeks during the axis occupation of greece. that is why they are so obsessed with nazism. in psychology it is called projecting...

All right... and this is rather good excuse in order not to deal with our own issues.
