47. Yet there are still people on DU scolding and lecturing the Greeks

... all this process of the negotiations until today, despite the humiliating truce with the euro-dictatorship, resulted in a big gain: the change of attitude of the European people on Greece, as they started to realize that eurozone has become a financial dictatorship.

Read around here though and you still see lots of scolding and lecturing on how the Greeks are simply paying the piper for their profligacy .... Just like Venezuela's troubles are all of its own making - in their case the sin is Socialism.

As if - whatever errors there may or may not be - in either case the Overlords were ever going to tolerate their existence. Both are an existential threat to the hegemony of the Corporatist 1%ers.
