Do they actually think they are Macedonians and not Slavs?
>>215179772Why don't you ask them?
>>215180378where are they?
>>215180440In Macedonia dumbass
Yes. But the idea is the wider region of Macedonia is supposed to be like Switzerland where they speak multiple languages. So you have Swiss German Swiss French Swiss Italian. Well here hypotheticalky the Greeks would be Greek speaking Macedonians and these guys would be Slavic speaking Macedonians and Albanians would be Albanian speaking Macedonians. At least that's what I got from some schizos on Reddit
>>215179772100% slavs
they're albanians
>>215181216there were no Slavs at the time of the ancient Macedoniansthat's like saying modern day Americans were the English speaking Amerindian tribes
>>215181721The Slavs didn't LITERALLY replace the native population they mixed with the locals who got assimilated into the culture. The basis of the idea is that they claim cobtinuity with people who lived in those lands
>>215181775sex between slavs and macedonians
>>215181775continuity*
>>215181721The Slavs didn't 'come from Asia' as Italian nationalists like to claim. The ancestors of the Slavs had been living in the Pripyat since the Indo-Europeans rolled into Europe and up until the great diffusion of the Slavs in the mid 6th century..
>>215179772The administrative region of Macedonia became much larger under the Ptolemaic kingdoms, then Rome, during which Latin speakers emerged in the region, and Christian Eastern Rome and it's Macedonian dynasties, during which Slavs migrated to the region, and finally the Ottomans, during which Islam and Turkish language took a foothold.Yes, the origin of the name is Greek, but the region evolved so much and incorporated so many different races and religions in it's development that it makes sense for the people there to call it Macedonia. Greeks these days are just too low IQ to realise that and the monkeys that govern Skopje have been ragebaiting them for years with the Alexander the great circus show.
>>215180579Lmfao
>>215179772What a stupid country
>>215181775It's literally your fault though, as well as Greece and Bulgaria. If you 3 didn't chimp out and desire to carve up the regional Macedonia between yourselves which was extremely multiethnic and hard to put under 1 umbrella then that wouldn't have led to the northern part of Macedonia eventually becoming a separate state just to serve as a buffer between all the shitflinging in the Balkans. That's the sole purpose of the country, the Alexander wewuzzery is secondary and made up after the fact
We are bulgarians everybody here knows it they are just delusional to admit it
>>215179772they are turks not slavs
FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIAAAA (F.Y.R.O.M)
>>215181775Why do they claim Macedonia then?
>>215186068because the Slavs laid siege to Thessalonica in 586 AD and have formed the majority in mainland Macedonia ever since. Is that really so hard to understand? We've been here for 1500 years, we are not newcomers.
>>215186102And Greeks have been there when your ancestors were still Balto-Slavs. You are unwanted guests to Greeks.
>>215186148even more so are Muslims, Iki
>referring to regular ethnic Bulgarians as simply "the slavs"These mysterious, countryless, indentiless slavs have do it again!
>>215186196done*
>>215186196Macedonians aren't exactly Bulgariansyou know it, I know it, Hristos Pantokrator knows it
>>215186207>Macedonians aren't exactly BulgariansWhy do you think this is okay for you? Don't you think you should at least take a few minutes to research before saying shit you obviously know nothing about?Crazy how you fucking retards always say the dumbest shit with such confidence. It amazes me in a way.
>>215186240It's a fact. Štefan Dušan had his court in Macedonia. There's a big Serb influence. But moreover, certain Macedonian words are more like Slovenian than either Bulgarian or Serbocroatian.
>>215186272>It's a fact. Štefan Dušan had his court in Macedonia.So because one retard had his court in a Bulgarian region it means they're not Bulgarians? Half of western Bulgaria was ruled by Serbs at one point, and the reverse is also true. Belgrade was called the White Bulgarian Castle.Should I claim that Serbs are Bulgarians because we ruled over them?>There's a big Serb influenceThere;s a bigger Serb influence in Northwest Bulgaria than there ever was in Macedonia. They people there are still Bulgarian.>But moreover, certain Macedonian words are more like Slovenian than either Bulgarian or Serbocroatian.That's the dumbest shit you've said. Macedonian is a western Bulgarian dialect and not even the most distant one from Standard Bulgarian.The only differences in the "Macedonian" language are due to 20th century Yugoslav influence.Macedonians have always referred to themselves as ethnic Bulgarians. Not "slavs", not Serbs, not Greeks. Bulgarians. It's a historic fact, it's not even something to argue about.The only reason I argue now is because I think you retards genuinely believe this while you haven't read 2 words on the history of Macedonia and just say random shit because you have room temperature IQ.
>>215181721>modern day Americans were the English speaking Amerindian tribesbullshit, modern Balkan Slavs are 30 to 50% descended from the indigenous Balkanites (who were actually more similar to modern Italians than to coastal Greeks), most Americans have no Amerindian admixture at all.
