The cradle of civilization, i.e. philosophy, logic, reason, science is in the chaos of self-destructing.  How ironic that the people of Greece cannot think their way out of the Collective trap into which they fell.

Big Government = tyranny.  Government has no way to acquire big money except by force.  The Collectivists have convinced many of illogical, insane concepts—that you can spend more than you earn and not go bankrupt; that unearned rewards are somehow justifiable; that something for nothing is desirable.

Results include irrationalities like some deserve “entitlements”, therefore taking by force from some to distribute to others is desirable…especially if you can play the “race card” and “victimization”.

The rioters in Greece feel victimized because their government can no longer afford them.  The majority of Grecians works for and/or receives government checks…and the U.S. is not far behind.

Governments’ goal is expansion.  Common sense, property rights, Bill of Rights, justice be damned.

Greece reduced its citizens to whining, inept, helpless people who expect to be taken care of, now they are an angry mob demanding their “rights”, not unlike the illegal aliens in the U.S.

Chaos, anarchy, police-state tyranny are logical consequences of such thinking/policies.

This country is galloping down that road, only differences are the size, scope, technology, and sheer power of the U.S. government versus Greece which makes it more dangerous.

Will the world learn from union rioters in Greece, Muslim riots in France, or the illegal alien protests in America?  The Third Worlders learn the West has been brought to its knees by “multiculturalism”, “diversity”, and unearned rewards.

Unless the West shakes loose from political correctness and returns to common sense meritocracy, rule of law and individual rights it will continue to sink into the morass of mankind’s dismal past…from Dark Ages to the jungle.
