'Greeks only' soup kitchen sparks protests in Athens
APTN ~ UK Telegraph ^ | 02 May 2013

Posted on 05/02/2013 5:33:46 PM PDT by NYTexan

Members of Greek extremist political party Golden Dawn try to open a 'Greeks only' soup kitchen in Athens, as anti-immigrant feeling bubbles against a backdrop of increasing poverty.

Mayor Giorgos Kaminis had banned such events in the city's central square and vowed not to allow the "soup kitchen of hate" to take place

The Golden Dawn supporters look like a bunch of skinheads.

These kinds of political stunts aside, Golden Dawn isn’t going to seize power in Greece. These protest parties tend to hit a wall fairly quickly and fade into obscurity.

No way, although we do have only black universities.

What is happening in Greece is the birth of the ethnic pluralist movement, which will signal the death knell of multiculturalism with any luck. The current ways will be declared a failure after massive unrest, and most countries will turn back to nurturing the growth of their own ethnic populations, just as Russia is doing. Though I don’t think Putin taking his shirt off has affected Russia birth rates. He might want to consider outlawing the whole baby-killing thing.

I think you might be mistaken. They have risen to the third most popular party, and Greece can see no light at the end of the tunnel they’re in.
In reality, they are a bunch of skinheads. But the people in power now are a bunch of crypto-Marxists.

No, it would be the equivalent of a ‘Native American’s only’ soup kitchen, probably run by Elizabeth Warren. Whites, blacks, Hispanics and Asians are not native to this land. The Greeks are Greece’s ethnic population.

I imagine a US citizen only soup kitchen. I’m sure there would be someone trying to protest its operating.

They really only got about 7% of the vote last time around. In fact I think they lost a few seats and are down to 18. I agree Greece is in a world of sh*t, but the majority seem to determined to stay in the Eurozone and I just don't see any real widespread support for Golden Dawn. You could certainly be right here, but my guess is they may have already hit their high water mark.

Yup, I don't disagree with you at all. It's not just Greece. These European countries are determined to hang on to their inefficient, bankrupt social welfare states. It really goes to show what a poison socialism truly is - especially when a population chooses it voluntarily.

They seem to be taking a page out of the Black Panthers’ manual. In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the Panthers operated kitchens for needy children in black neighborhoods.

According to the Golden Dawn Scumbags, muslims wouldn’t be coming if they didn’t face “Judaic atrocities” in “palestine”.

The chart only goes to 1995. They've had lots of new immigrants since then including lots from North Africa.

That was in the last election. I’m talking about public support that is polled, putting them in the mid-teens, at the expense of both major parties. You can only keep people in poverty for so long before they snap. Greeks are suffering, and they don’t trust the media or the leadership. Golden Dawn speaks to that. I think the only chance for the Eurocrats to avoid them eventually winning is for Greece to recover.
Like you said, the poison that is socialism is the cause of the problem, and they’re so committed to it, I doubt Greece is getting out of trouble any time soon.

Yes. They are largely neo-Nazis.

Maybe, but I think the Nazis could be said to have started out as a “protest party”.

When Russia was communist it had a very high abortion rate but I don’t know if they changed that or not.

so, Albanians are the ones mostly being excluded?

roughly 240,000 out of the 11.3m people in the country... or 2% of the population

from just this, it looks like Greece is about 98% Greeks (I wouldn’t have thought it was that high)
