SPATA, Greece (AP) — In an olive grove on the outskirts of Athens, grower Konstantinos Markou pushes aside the shoots of new growth to reveal the stump of a tree — a roughly 150-year-old specimen, he said, that was among 15 cut down on his neighbor’s land by thieves eager to turn it into money.
Kinda hard to steal in a target in a rural part of Greece 👍
Killing century old things isnt justified because youre rural 👍
Its practically tradition. People have been robbing antiquities from the Mediterranean for centuries.
Oh man, I’ve got bad news about farmers then 😂 You just not have went out in the country much!
I am a farmer, dipshit.
Well then, do you feel bad about all the shit leaking down in aquifers from you field? Or heck, directly into rivers in some cases!
How about all the people living around fields getting poisoned by roundup and other chemical shit?
Lets not forget all the centuries old trees that got cut down so you can grow soy to feed cows or corn to produce ethanol for gas while being subsidized by the government because that’s the only way the production is viable.
Farmers aren’t angels either.
We grow entirely organic, but the attempt at guilt tripping a stranger is very cute. (Thats actually not the only way production is viable, btw, we arent subsidized at all.)
Did you forget youre defending thieves who killed off the farmers livelihood?
“I’m the exception so everyone’s ok 👍”
“My gotcha to shut someone up backfired, so I will pretend I meant it generally, as if it justifies killing other peoples livelihoods 👍”

It’s a person’s entire life’s work you dick.
There are shops in rural parts of Greece.
There’s a major difference between a “shop” and Target
