i actually spoke to someone in greece who tried tracking this story to its roots, and is pretty sure it didn’t actually happen, but identified places it could have happened, so it seems to have been written by someone who’d been to exarcheia
I mean the vibe is pretty spot on, I’ll give them that, and the premise of someone making fashy noises in an anarchist squat and getting summarily thrown out on his ass is perfectly believable, but the protagonist seems like an obvious a parody character and I think his belief that everyone he meets should adhere to the NAP is meant as a running gag.
Also, I’d take issue with the unspoken premise that this would be an Exarcheia thing, getting your ass beat by anarchists who clocked you as a fascist (and vice versa) is a panhellenic phenomenon. Fascist here meaning less someone who likes Tucker Carlson and toothbrush mustaches, and more someone who is an organized member of a heavily nationalist sportball fan club and/or whatever is currently filling the void that Golden Dawn left but isn’t making the news.
strong echoes of the (probably fictional) reddit tale of the anarcho-capitalist who gets beaten up by real anarchists in Greece.

Beats Yud’s fan fiction any day of the week.

Do NOT violate the sacred NAP!
This explains a lot about why so many of these shitheels happily work with fascists and monarchists
My dude what in the world
