After Greece's transition to democracy in the mid-1970s, a public discourse of
resistance against authority emerged and became dominant. Civil disobedience,
including violent demonstrations and the destruction of public property, is almost
always justified, if not glorified; the police can only be wrong: If they act too harshly
they are brutal; if not, incompetent. This discourse has proven to be extremely
resistant to time and momentous world events, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, and
is promoted in the media. ... After Greece's transition to democracy in the mid-1970s,
a public discourse of resistance against authority emerged and became dominant. ...
Depending on the popularity of the issue they are joined, by hundreds or thousands of
others of lesser commitment and varying motivations, from ideology to simple
looting, who are nevertheless socialized into this culture ("Why Athens is Burning").
