Well if Tsipras is antigone, I suppose that makes germany creon. If that's the case, then tspiras is willing to destroy himself and his country if it means his enemies will be cursed and shamed.

WWII was incredibly brutal and will be remembered by Russians for centuries, yet it was not a generational crisis war (that was the Russian Revolution).

When reading The Fourth Turning and Generations I always understood an awakening to end when the era of spiritual fervor or unrest came to an end, such as in 1980 when Reagan came...
