Greece? I regard Greece as a whole: The rulers, the ruled, the corporations, the culture...
Just because the consequences in the present are horrible and headline-taking, that DOES NOT give anyone a free pass to forget the chain of events that led to those consequences.
Focus! This isn't about some people committing suicide right here and right now! This is about the willfull actions of a whole country leading to these suicides!
Greek politicians enacted horrible economic policies, greek voters supported them, and then everything collapsed and the greek voters suffer. Greece isn't the innocent victim here!
THEIR COUNTRY, THEIR POLITICIANS, THEIR ELECTIONS, THEIR VOTES, THEIR DECISION TO SUPPORT A SYSTEM THEY KNOW TO BE CORRUPT, THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.
