Any examples of nations/ethnicity that are delusional?
Austrians >They dont see themselves as German anymore. Even Hitler was Austrian.
Macedonians >They formed some kind of weird Hellenistic Macedonian identity during Yugoslav years. They are just western Bulgarians.
Certain Latino groups >People who are obviously mostly Native or even full native identify as Mestizo or Mixed to try to be European as possible
Filipino Americans >Some even outright deny they are Asians. They rather call themselves "Pacific Islander" or Mestizo even if they are virtually identical to Malaysia and Indonesians except for religion
Look, "Greeks," there's nothing wrong with being Turkish. Just embrace your heritage and let the real Makedonians keep their name.

Have you ever read the works of Peter Green or Eugene Borza? I think they make a pretty compelling case that the ancient Hellenes considered the Macedonians as outsiders. In fact almost no source from the ancient times tell us what you're claiming. Herodotus tells a story that Alexander I was barred from the Olympics due to being a Macedonian and not a Greek. Thukydides when talking about the Greeks and Macedonians separates the two as two different people. Isokrates flatters Philip II of Macedon as a Greek ruling over non-Greeks. Demosthenes is even less willing calling Philip II a barbarian. Arrian writes of the old racial hatred between the Greeks and the Macedonians. In fact Alexander III only had about 7,600 Greeks in his army while the Persians had much more Greeks in the service of the Persians who fought fiercely against the Macedonians. Plutarch in the Roman Era writes that the Ancient Greeks left the Macedonians the chance to take on Persia because of their civil strife. It's a subject that's full of propaganda due to both modern Macedonians and Greeks trying to ape the legacy of the Macedonians and in effect Alexander as their own. In part of Alexander he could change his identity to suit his needs. He could claim to be King of the Greeks and in another part claim to be a Persian and take the title of King of Kings and also take the title of Pharaoh. It's a complex and interesting subject, my German friend.
That's what amuses me about nationalistic like yourself. Maybe that's why I side with the Macedonians in this naming dispute since it makes people like you seethe with anger.

Are you retarded? North Macedonia is literally the same as macedonia, skopje to capital of macedon is 200km, do Greek Macedonians not see North Macedonians as Macedonian?
Sorry, as a CHI, I know that makes me an Amerindian BVLL. Not a drop of Eur*pean blood.

Ah yes, Albanians are not native to north or south macedonia.
Connor Barnes
North Macedonians are not anymore slav than any Greek.

What's up with Turkey anyways? Do people still believe in secularism? Or are they larping as Ottomans or God forbid... Romans.

>Do people still believe in secularism? Many do yeah >Or are they larping as Ottomans Neo-Ottomanism is about focusing on influencing the Middle East rather than joining Europe, although it would be based to bring the Sultanate back >Romans :^)

Macedonians talk funny, it's as if I'm hearing Serbs try their hand at speaking Bulgarian, and they have a lisp. Maybe it just seems that way because I'm from the very eastern parts of the country; maybe I'm not used to the way they speak, but their immediate Bulgarian neighbours are. I mean, our reporters can just stroll in speaking normal Bulgarian, and they'd understand basically everything you say.
I have an easier time understanding Macedonians than I do Serbs or any other slavs. Also, they're not even dubbed over when they're on the news (as opposed to other slavs and other people), normal Bulgarians understand 85% of what Macedonians say.
Cooper Russell
Serbs and Greeks should've been properly punished for their backstabbing
