Get me out of this godforsaken hellhole
shan't
>>217152145why Greece doesn't have European architecture at all but its capital looks like some communist Latinx American megacity?
>>217152171Greex are Latinx poc.
>>217152171We demolished it all after WW2
>>217152272based
>>217152272why would you build such ugly architecture instead then, i thought post-WW2 Greece was rich
>>217152367lol
>>217152145Just plant more trees.
>>217152397the same question applies to Israel desu
>>217152367Ideological reasons, unironically. Greece at the time was, for all intents and purposes, starting from scratch and the leadership wanted to get rid of anything that was "outdated" or called back to pre-WW2 Greece. We also ripped out all tram lines for the same reason.
>>217152145My ancestors are Salonikan Jews, that's what you get without having us showing you the way to build a city. You are lost without a guidance and turned all your cities into a concrete jungle. Absolutely disgusting.
>>217152467I thought you hated communism with a passion after the civil war so why would you build literal commieblocks for ideological reasons THO
>>217152145Kinda weird how greeks forgot how to build cities
>>217152145Sovl>>217152467We had the same problem both in 1950 and 1980
>>217152145That's why I've never left my hometown and I'll always be content by being a rural churl who's never visited Athens or been south of Larissa
>>217152413israel until the 2000’s was a third world shithole (and still is mostly)
>>217152555>polykatoikías are communist because um... uh... they just are okay!
>>217152555It was simply the zeitgeist of the time. If you asked a Greek of the 50s or 60s, they'd wonder why you'd bother preserving some 19th century building that probably didn't even have electricity. Something similar happened in Spain, Portugal and LatAm, though not to the extent it happened here.
Seen so many greece is a shithole posts i knew it was gonna be greece again
>>217152695if it was true then so many American Jews wouldn't have moved there>>217152676>Kastoriamy Slavix brother...
>>217152734They didn’t do it for economic reasons I can assure you that
>>217152171Because Athens in the 1800's had very gew people and it grew a lot in a short amou t of time, so they mass produced the city, insyead of growing slow with time and going through various aesthetics
>>217152145vgh.. the urban expanses of HELLAS...
what would the city look like now had it stayed in Turkey?
>>217152955same but with red roofs
HELLass
>>217152145turkiye and hellas should link up
>>217152708Yes the cancer of Modernisn spread throughout pretty much every western country post WW2.Luckily in most western European cities there was more resistance to it so inner cities were mostly preserved.But it sadly still did a lot of damage and is still doing damage today, in many especially leftist ruled cities there are plenty of cases of beautiful old buildings that would need renovation being teared down and replaced with ugly modernist desgins.But you are not alone, another country that suffered greatly architecturally post WW2 is America.Contrary to popular belief most American cities weren't built for the car(at least the older ones in the East) and didn't look that different from many western European ones(you can watch some old videos) but were bulldozed for car infrastructure.
>>217152467FUcking boomers. I swear to God there were Jews in every country who treated WW2 like Year Zero and wanted to destroy anything and everything that reminded them of The Before Time
>>217152676that looks cozy as fuck
>>217152171dont make me tap the sign athens is a fake city constructed ex nihilo by bavarians to be the capital of greece just like brazilia
>>217154352After looks better
>>217152145Bro lives in Wet-Dry World omds
>>217152367you have to remember that Greece had MANY communists, judeophiles, and anglophiles involved in its rebuilding at the time
>>217152145come to Smolyan. we'll go skiing
vgh…. truly they are brothers of egypt like in antiquity
>>217152145Wait! That doesn't look like Kefalonia
>>217152145looks like mexico df/cairo
>>217154716wow, just like my animes...
>>217152407good point they also cool the city
>>217152145it's impossible to suffer in greece
>>217152145Come to India saar!
>>217152145It looks like a call of duty map.
>>217154566Did you know that the lake freezes in KASTORIA?And then bears walk on it in KASTORIA?
>>217152171because Athens before the 60s was a tiny town and now it's one of the biggest metro areas in Europe
>>217154716I hate Athens with a passion but Egypt in comparison makes it look like Bern
>>217154352The Civil Rights Act did much more damage to the American city than cars did
pic of ath*ns when it snowed heavy once
random building in ath*ns
quiet spot right in the middle of city (tourkovounia)might get robbed tho
pic taken from the objectively best bench to chill in the entire city
>>217152145It looks like Japan
peireus
last one i think
>>217160966these are pretty bc the snow covers the c*ty
>>217161444checke'd and true
>>217161197Imagine the sex
>>217160153Beutiful
>>217160997kek this reminds me of the military
>>217161014for me it's oikismos georgios papandreou
>>217160631It obviously accelerated the process since people wanted to live somewhere safe.But the big problem was always that most American cities were way too lax on ghettoization and crime.You basically just fled and surrendered your cities to gangs rather than deal with the problems.Sanctions regarding welfare would also help a lot, if your kids behave like subhumans in school your welfare should get cut.Most importantly it would need big cultural changes in those (black) communities, ghetto culture is a cancer and the fact that "music" glorifying it is also massively popular is a disgrace.But we in western Europe are making the same mistakes now with the Muzzies, although in our case we at least still might have the chance of eventually deporting most of them.
