actually i wish you all gave a fuck about modern greece and the state of the country, instead of acting as if us greeks live in 2500BC.
“i love greek culture” you all still believe that greece is a veryyyy accepting country towards lgbtq people and rights simply because of how it was THOUSANDS of years ago. greece is an incredibly homophobic and racist country. most people are not welcoming towards queer people (unless you’re a tourist probably cause they gain money from that)
“i love the greek islands” okay but do you know that a shit ton of summer season employees are homeless? because there’s no fucking space for them to live. did you know that those who have a place on the islands are barely able to pay rent cause of how high the prices go and how little money they make?
“souvlaki is so yummy” the price of souvlaki has gone up at least 2euros in the past 10 years or less. most people who saw it as a cheap meal can now barely afford it
“things in greece are so cheap” did you know the minimum salary here is 750/month? that’s 9000/year without the days off. our groceries are more expensive than switzerlands, and they have some of the highest salaries in europe.
our so called prime minister is getting away with the murder of 57 innocent people in a train crash. bet you didn’t know that either. oh and did you know that the government takes any chance they can get in order to raise prices of gas, food and anything else you can imagine? yeah that happens too. oh and also there’s such a shortage in healthcare staff that people have died while waiting for the ambulance. yeah that happens too. but greece is paradise on earth!!!!
get over your tourist trap dream. greek people are STRUGGLING. PEOPLE CAN BARELY AFFORD FOOD, HOUSING AND BILLS. WAKE THE FUCK UP.
oh and side note, epic the musical and percy jackson are not accurate depictions of ancient greek history btw. read a history book if you wanna learn
