Where in Greece? I lived there when I was in high school (Dad worked for the NATO base in Tyrnavos that has since been shut down).

I'd like to show up at one of those rallies as a neutral party carrying a sign that says how great the United States is. I'd have a friend filming to document when the leftists try to start shite with me, which I know they will because the sign will surely provoke them.

Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens. Just got back 6 weeks ago tomorrow. Had a blast.

Wouldn't get involved.

AggieDub14, we are usually on the opposite sides of most arguments, but:

1- Protesting, IMHO, is a childish, show off, and just feel good psychological masturbation act. "Look at me! I'm such a good and caring person because I'm protesting (insert cause here)."

2- Unfortunately, it can be effective. Politicians on the left and right will correctly be unimpressed, but spineless moderates will be influenced! A well done poll more accurately reflects the publics opinion. But apart from scaring moderates, they actually don't affect actual votes. Semi organized but completely moronic KKK racist and skinhead/Nazi fascist can produce a thousand protesters occasionally. Completely organized and financed, and also completely moronic BLM and Reconquesta racist and occupiers/antifa fascist can regularly produce thousands of protesters/counter protesters.

3- Confrontation protests are not protests. They are organized criminal activity!

BLM destroyed 4.6 million dollars of property in Missouri. They inflicted millions more in vandalism, and stole millions more while looting.

Occupiers blocking roads and buildings cause millions in economic destruction.

Worse, antifa denies the constitutional rights of their targets to freely assemble and speak.

KKK-BLM racist, Nazi-antifa fascist, and Westboro Baptist Church-Islamic Extremists religious nut jobs all are certified arse-holes. But even arse-holes have the right to adolescent psychological masturbation of protesting. But it must be peaceful and it cannot interfere with others rights including protest and the pursuit of happiness of a normal-lawful life!

I would have a counter protest, a sit in in my den, counter full of snacks

"Regardless of who is protesting and why, I hope you get the Reginald Denny special"

I'd avoid like the plague.
