Attempting to discuss such issues dispassionately is a sign of privilege, and insisting that they be discussed dispassionately is an act of oppression.
Fine, then let me be passionate. You know what your atttitude reminds me most of? Those assholes in my old Greek highschool decades ago, or those assholes in the Greek media as far back as I remember, those assholes in the Greek society in general, who keep raging about how Jews/Germans/Americans/Turks/Slav Macedonians are oppressing us Greeks, those people who call it treason to have any different opinion on any “national issue”}, those people who call “toadies of foreigners” anyone who doesn’t hate Jews/Germans/Americans/Turks/Slav Macedonians (who are after all oppressing us so very much that it should be actively unsafe to defend such people.)
If one defends such oppressors, they should be dragged to the courts, or beaten up, or perhaps stabbed to death. That’s how the Greek establishment ensures the “unsafe” space for open discourse of issues that you also seem to be advocating for anyone who doesn’t toe your favoured positions.
It must be “unsafe” to have a different opinion? Fuck you and your fascism. Fuck all the ways you use to justify your oppression. Every damn oppressor in the history of the world knows how to plays the role of the poor victim.
You think it so very advanced and so very progressive to HATE, HATE, HATE the oppressor? Well, Greek schoolchildren spent years learning such, and the result is that they end up electing Neonazis to the parliament when they grow up.
A true progressive like me is that one person in a hundred who wants to improve everyone’s lives, rather than spent his time moaning about the damn privileged oppressors of another race/religion/tribe/nation/gender, and who think that by blaming other people his life will miraculously become better.
I hope you liked the passion in the above, since after all being dispassionate is supposedly a sign of privilege.
