Eh, they had a good run 🤷♂️
Geez
The root word of xenophobia is the Greek word xénos which means stranger or foreign.
And there you go.
What the fuck, seriously, does your comment have to do with the state of Greece? You sound like America’s Trump…
You are trying to sound smarter than you are.
Give me any word, any word 😆
Also, yes, good idea pointing out xenophobia. We Greeks keep complaining about both the demographic problem and the influx of immigrants. Our problem is not that there are fewer babies, it’s that there are fewer babies of the right kind. There is some hope as second generation immigrants are normalizing different ways of being Greek (like the Antetokounmpos). Who knows what 10 years down the road looks like.
It is shocking to me that nobody got why xenophobia heavily contributes to the current population collapse in Greece (especially given the headlines of the past ~decade) and that nobody got the My Big Fat Greek Wedding reference before you did.

Easy. Is come from the grrrreek word χειμώνα, is mean winter. What do you put on in the winter when it’s cold? A kimono. There you go.
There was also a version of Zeus dedicated to “hospitality”(philoxenia, friend of foreigner).

Don’t we all. Seriously, this is going on in most industrialised countries.
Who would have guessed!?
6 day working weeks mandatory but still part of Schengen? What did they think was going to happen - that Greeks would happily do more work for free or that they’d move elsewhere in the EU where they get paid more to work less?
And national service unless you leave the country long enough to age out.
