“A contrarian account of our prehistory argues that cities once flourished without rulers and rules — and still could.”

"When at last would you stop lying about the pushbacks? About what's happening with #Refugees in #Greece? Please don't insult our intelligence."

A journalist speaking truth to the Greek PM. Not easy to witness that in Greece, where almost all mainstream media are pro-government.

Resisting government plans for privatizing the forest, making plans for corporate economic growth in places where people want to live in balance with nature.

Protests today in #Athens by people living in areas hit by the summer #wildfires. Coping with the aftermath of complete state abandonment, resulting to rain floods this autumn.

“Greece’s lack of a strategic planning framework allows developers to license wind power projects many times over requirements, disregarding their impact on local habitats.”

“Make it a green peace!” was first uttered, in Vancouver, 1970. It's now been 50 years since #Greenpeace was founded.

"the unavioidable reality of climate change", said the Greek PM, while issuing permits for fossil fuel drilling.

"trees regrow", while allowing industrial investments in Natura regions.

"houses can be rebuilt", owner of 36 properties.

This is how (Greek) banks are implementing "3-D Secure". A pop-up asking you to enter your e-banking credentials, with no way to verify that is actually coming from the bank. @winbank_tweets in this case.

Interesting how "3-D secure" made phishing attacks easier than ever 🤦‍♂️

"Borders. Borders. Borders.
On Evros wall, on Aegean bottom,
lies every European's security."

#EU is considering new plans to ban #plantbased dairy from:

– have informative descriptions like ”doesn’t contain milk”
– use the same packaging as dairy products (eg. cartons)
– explaining the climate impact of food

We are very close to have the first hunger strike dead in #Greece. First one in Europe after 40 years (during Thatcher).

The most conservative and authoritative government of recent history, chooses revenge over justice.

Once every 20 years (or so), #Athens covered in snow ⛄

“After learning about #ClimateChange 40y ago, these #FossilFuels corporations could have invested in green research to anticipate alternate energy sources of energy for the future. Instead, they tried to perpetuate their existing business models.”

"53% of the protein is used to feed farm animals. 2/3 of this food is lost in conversion from plant to animal.

UN expects meat consumption to rise by 70% by 2030 (3 times the rate of human population growth). The land required to grow them doesn't exist"

"“Pedestrian infrastructure” is an oxymoron. In a place that’s hospitable to people, pedestrians don’t need separate “infrastructure”, they can use the streets as a place to walk, just as humans have done for several thousand years in cities with no cars."

#Greece & #EU Commission signed deal to finance the construction of new closed #migrants camps on the islands of Samos, Kos, Leros

Remember this when people preach about European ideals/values. A history full of concentration camps, colonialism & racism

It's 47 years since the Polytechnic uprising, that led to the fall of the military junta the year after, in #Greece

Today the government forbid any public gathering. A ruling, that was last time issued in that day of 17.11 of 1973.
