@koinian Το "μόρφωμα" δεν το ψωνίζω, με ανατριχιάζει. Όπως ανατρίχιασα όταν άκουσα να το χρησιμοποιούν κατά του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, στελέχη του που έφυγαν για την Νε.Αρ. το προηγούμενο διάστημα. Υπάρχουν τρόποι-λέξεις, να τους χαρακτηρίσεις. Δεκάδες λέξεις. Αντιλαμβάνεσαι τι γράφω στο τουί.

Who said that Germany reunified? This is yesterday's electoral map. W. Germany black - the colour of the christian democrats. E. Germany blue - the colour of the quasi-fascist AfD. The result of 20 years of social democratic-green austerity and Die Linke's taming.

Greece’s continuous and unapologetic refusal to recognize Serbrenica as an attempted genocide highlights the country’s inward-looking tendency to exacerbate its own victimhood vis-a-vis that of others.
