down to the streets of Athens to protest against the new measures that the government is preparing to take for all professional and scientific disciplines. They proceeded, in a symbolic gesture, and put down their ties in front of the Greek Parliament.
Great movement, great story, the revolution of the tie, but what I want to add is that we will not accomplish anything, simply by taking down our tie.
I suggest all together Greeks and whoever other nations want to join us and go down to our neighborhood squares all nude, nude as the gods gave birth to us in this bloody and long-suffering place in history. The ladies to submit their panties and the men their underpants, lest we see a bright day, such as the white night.
At least we will provoke global interest, we will be overwhelmed suddenly by millions of visitors, abnormal as well as moral and ethical individuals, artists, journalists, photojournalists who will be rushing around, thousands of airline flights will be carried out, hotels will be fully booked, restaurants will be over packed, we will be recorded in the Guinness book of world records, all social media will be overloaded with our nude photos.
If we simply arrange to meet for two hours every day from 12 noon till 2 in our downtown centers, all of us nude, in the struggle for our liberation. A maximum of wearing a tie, each one of us making an appearance with a tie on only, as a sign of goodwill dressing in the future. We will name it White Nude Revolution. We should all go down the streets in the nude. This would be a true nude revolution of the tie. Only this way, we will get rid of the unbearable, long-lasting, homicidal, and painful Memorandum, and the miserable initiators.
I had written this in January 2016. And now we have reached nearly the end of 2016, December, and yet with the old tactics of striking we have not accomplished a thing, or rather we have: two holes and two holes in the water. It’s time we adopt a newfound opposition practice to the memorandum.
