I was wondering why there isn't a thread on this and figured i'd make one.
Are you aware that Greece has recently been rounding up Immigrants, LGBT's, drug users, sex workers, and those in debt into internment camps under the name of Operation Zeus?
What should be done about it, if anything?

In my opinion, immediate international pressure needs to be placed against the greeks to discontinue the camps and to allow inspectors in to oversee this process. If evidence is found of deliberate genocide or passive genocide (by making the camps so awful that people die from the conditions) then military intervention may be required. There must be sanctions, and the government must be brought to trial.

Petition. Likely useless but screw it.

Let the Turks take over Greece and run it properly.

In b4 someone points out similarities to the previous thread on this.

Yawn. Another day in lala land. Not very profitable to lock people up. Although I chuckled at the concept of killing Zeus.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice the other thread. Where is it?

I chuckled when I thought it up

Sanctions then military intervention if that fails. This is not tolerable at all...

By doing that you could piss the greeks off enough by voting the Golden Dawn into office and making them the defacto party. Perhaps slight economic sanctions would be good - it's not like the Greeks have anything valuable to be trading with anyway.

I continue to maintain that modern Greece's opposition to homosexuals is clear-cut evidence that it is an entirely new entity that has precisely nothing whatsoever to do with the Greeks of antiquity.

I motion for modern Greeks to rename themselves not-Greeks on account of their blatant violation of everything the Greeks of antiquity stood for.

Yea, right. economic sanctions when we've been trying to prop up the greek economy for the last years. makes sense.

What in the name of St. Episiocritus?

Definitely not a good practice. Looks like the US needs to bring some freedom to Greece.

Obviously the gods are angry at Dionysus and got a number of Greeks on board with it. Tsk, tsk.

I like Greek yogurt too, but most Greek yogurt isn't imported, each country seems to make their own now.
