I’m not Greek, but I hear/read this kind of argument made about Italians as well. No, Southern Europeans are not noble savages, they want and, arguably, need good infrastructures, which include phone and internet connections, exactly like the Northerner.
- Barrin92 2y agoPutting aside for a second whether there's some truth to the stereotype or not, we truly live in strange times when description of a culture that values family life, the outdoors, good food and leisure over working at your phone at 2 am is automatically taken as an insult or provokes comparison to noble savages.
- JKolios 2y agoPlease elaborate on how "maybe they don't need good infrastructure" can be taken positively. It is, at best, deeply patronizing.
- rglullis 2y agoThe insult is in thinking that they somehow don't "need" material things just because they have so many other good things going in their life.
- mmarq 2y agoThe person that doesn’t need modern infrastructure because they are at peace with nature is literally the noble savage
