(pity the poor classicists who have been writing debunks of far right racist testosterone-bro ‘clash of civilisations’ bullshit for so many years. they only just finished explaining the Mediterranean is a melting pot over the Nolan movie, and now Rubio is making them do it all over again.)

Athens has been colonised before. Those pretty sunlit columns behind Rubio have had monuments to foreign kings added to them - a couple of those are still there. The Parthenon has been a church, and a mosque, and then a different sect’s church. It’s been a house.

Key in the coming days is not numbers on the streets or viral claims (reliable or otherwise). Watch instead for elite hesitation, shifts in tone, and (above all) how the regular army is deployed. If cracks appear, they will start there 6/6.
