I grew up in Peru and knew lots of kids who didn't know anything about their own country outside of their little get-rich-quick schemes, and hated anyone who rocked the boat, even as fierce critics sounded warning bells of challenges ahead.
The fact that some aspiring-rich techpreneur reduces his complex gambit like you do here is not at all surprising to me.

hn is stopping me from replying downstream so:
And yet you use ad hominem to advance your own perpective, weird!
"I'm greek don't question me on this!"
"How dare you bring up my background?"
- elorant 9y agoAd hominem attacks don't work in here dude. This is HN. We either speak with arguments or not at all. Update: I never forbid you for questioning me because I'm Greek. All I said was that as a Greek I know first hand the results of his actions. If you want to argue on that, feel free to do so. As for my background, you don't know it and that's the thing. You're assuming that I'm rich(-ish) and thus drawing a conclusion as to where my interests stand. That's irrelevant though, and highly inappropriate. Don't judge me for what (you think) I am, but for what I say.

It is interesting to see that many people think they know more than you about greek crisis just because they have read some articles on the news. Also impressed that Gianis' PR worked so well outside Greece. He proved a clever dude for his own sake
