"When I lived in Greece it took me a while to find out that my full beard meant I was an anarchist."

Until a few years ago, I too had a full beard and my uncles all called me "the anarchist" in the family, but I'm actually far more conservative than they are!

As for being calm in the culture wars, well, you know Greece. People make a lot of noise for a few hours, everyone watches, shrugs and goes about their business. There's been many Tuesdays I've stood in a doorway between Omonia and Syntagma with a cop watching rioters. Its sort of a spectator sport! Culturally I don't see much effect of Brussells, but I do see, though perhaps not so much the past 4 years or so, that the worst America has to offer seems to hold a certain allure for the Greeks. Greece is Greece, my friend. There have been a lot of changes the past 20 years, most of them for the better, especially in the past 4 years or so. I love it there! Its very...free!

What makes these kalopedo anarchists particularly silly is that the left actually won for them in Europe, and they don't realize it.

I think that conservatism has a major task ahead of it: a realization that no political state is compatible with conservatism. The state is a fundamentally leftist idea. Real anarchists are religious conservatives, we just don't know it yet.
