Your narrative really doesn't sound real, and your argument of "ignore them!" comes across to me an attempt to psychologically bias other readers who are even less knowledgeable. [VIDEO] Yanis in conversation with Chomsky, long but insightful.

This is a really good talk that will give some valuable insight into how Greece has been bullied. (YANIS VAROUFAKIS | NOAM CHOMSKY, NYPL, 26 April) [VIDEO] More than 90% of the bailout money went to banks, not to Greece. Bank recapitalization via the back door while blaming Greece.
