Things will probably get epically bad before folks come to their senses. However, I'm sure it'll end sometime & Greece will be nice, again. The Germans were in the exact same situation, were defeated, learned their lesson & are much better off, a much freer, prosperous country that is deeply anti-Nazi/Fascist/extremist.

I'm sure there are plenty of Greeks who are disgusted as we are. It ain't over...it never is. Evil & injustice may win many battles but goodness will win in the end....eventually.

I also find it rather silly that they're targeting LGBTs & sex-workers while naming their operation after a pansexual deity that humped anything that moved. I know he was the big kahuna of Greece's ancient ancestral pantheon but still....

The only reason why Germany under Hitler was able to get anywhere was because it had a nice mechanical industry that suddenly saved it's ass with making a billion war machines.  Greece not only doesn't and will never have that, the second it starts building up it's military like me playing Civ V, they will get smacked down.

Ironbite-Greece is totally hosed and they only have themselves to blame.

Germany lost a war that killed several million people. I don't think Greece is about to declare war on the rest of Europe, so we shouldn't expect things to progress in the same way.

I knew about the Golden Dawn getting more and more power, and that Greece's economy crashed and burned, but I wasn't aware they'd gone full retard nazi. Why haven't I heard of this thing before? Why's this operation not been major news?

I looked up the Golden Dawn page on Wikipedia to get an image of their flag and found that it says they give help to the poor and victims of crimes. Naturally, the catch is that they have to be ethnic Greek and give the Golden Dawn unconditional allegiance. The police apparently also support the GD since they tell people to go to them for help if they've been the victim of a crime, particularly if the crime was committed by an immigrant.

Here's the flag. They also put up full on Swastika banners at their convention or whatever.

Germany lost a war that killed several million people. I don't think Greece is about to declare war on the rest of Europe, so we shouldn't expect things to progress in the same way.

From the Golden Dawn Wikipedia page, Section titled "Stance toward other countries":

"In 2012, the party leader, Nikolaos Mihaloliakos, said during an election meeting in Thessaloniki that "We will take İstanbul, İzmir as well as the Black Sea back." Earlier, Mihaloliakos had said that one day the "Queen City" (Istanbul) will be "liberated". These regions once had significant Greek populations until the Treaty of Lausanne. He criticized Thessaloniki's mayor for wanting to name one of the city's streets after Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

In January 2013, a group of supporters of Golden Dawn attacked the car of the Turkish Consul General, Osman İlhan Şener, in Komotini during an anti-Turkey protest. The party members also insulted Atatürk during the attack.

Mihaloliakos has also called for the "liberation" of Northern Epirus, which is today part of southern Albania, has a substantial Greek population and is claimed by Greek irredentists. His party also supports the annexation of Cyprus. Election adverts for Golden Dawn depicted the burning of US and Israeli flags."

Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

The reason you aren't hearing about it is because it's being done against 'undesirables'. And people wanting to turn a blind eye to it.

It's like when a serial killer goes after prostitutes and the homeless. They're invisible to most people until a large enough chunk goes missing and then winds up dead in a gutter from a slit throat or something.

Goddammit, Golden Dawn was never trying to hide their neo-Nazi fuckery from the start. I mean, really:



However, from what I understand, before Greece's economy bluescreened, they were essentially more of a fringe party known for their thinly-veiled racist policies and sympathies toward Adolf Hitler. They've only recently risen to prominence because many Greeks are desperate. Apparently they are especially popular with the Greek police.

To be honest, it hadn't been on my mind when I wrote my post. Lots of cases have the same parts to it as the Jack the Ripper case. I was mostly just drawing from my criminal justice studies when I made the post. lol

About that spoiler...that's a different Golden Dawn (an occult order).

You know, as soon as they fuck around, the UN will make them shit themselves. Mainly because Germany isn't going to bail out the new Nazi party. Also, am I the only one that thinks that their name sounds like someone stole it from a bunch of vampire hunters or mages from a fantasy universe?

The other way around, actually, since the Golden Dawn (not the neo-Nazi one) is an occultic society that's been around for... a fair amount of time.

They're basically like the Freemasons except, well, Egyptian instead of Judaic.

If the Golden Dawn actually takes power and starts with racist bullshit, I expect they'll be swiftly expelled from the EU.

It always makes me think of the Mythic Dawn, the cult from Oblivion that tries to destroy the world and build their own.
