Hello from Glasgow!

[nerbit]

Hey all! My name is Panagiotis and im 24 years old. Im actually from Greece but living in Glasgow almost two years now. I started listening to Stef's podcasts a year and a half ago and I thought it was about time that I get to know and interact with rational people. I was born and grew up in Greece and as many of you already know, the majority of the greek people are advocates of collective-militant ideologies like communism, even those from the anti-authoritarian side are still very collective in nature(bakunin's anarcho-collectivism, anarcho-communism etc.) and the problem is that the greek culture is very collective by nature(well, every culture is I guess). I was so embedded in this collective nonsense that I still remember my reaction to the first video I have watched of Stefan about the british union strikes, I was appalled by his opinion about the unions but there was something about the pure rational argumentation of his that suppressed my emotional-psychological defences and kept me going on listening more from him(found the site-podcasts after this experience). A year and a half after that I was transformed from an anarcho-syndicalist into a rationalist-market anarchist. Oh well, I am really excited to be joining this conversation and I am looking forward to meeting you!
