Today while digging for something I came across this, hmm:

“The technique of acquiring dictatorship over what has been a democracy has been familiar since Greek times, and always involves the same mixture of bribery, propaganda, and violence”
Bertrand Russell, Power: A New Social Analysis (1938)

Pure Monday today, a day for kite flying. On this day in 1963 youth members of Bertrand Russell Association in GR flew kites with the Peace symbol but were pursued by the police, as it was seen as communist propaganda. Calling for nuclear disarmament, they inspired Theodorakis to compose his “Kites”

Probably the biggest demonstrations ever in Greece.

The first video is from Panagiotis Doris. The second one is from @news247gr.bsky.social account on instagram, again from Thessaloniki.

In Greece “we don’t have oxygen”
Right now, citizens are protesting demanding more democracy, justice and answers for those killed in the murderous tragedy in #Tempi
One slogan says "they are killing our children" and another "being alive in this country is just a matter of luck"

“I have no Oxygen”

Hundreds of thousands citizens in Greece and across Europe protested against the Greek government’s attempt to cover-up its murderous responsibility that caused the #Tempi train crash that took 57 lives-most of them young students-in February 2023.
