ha ha ha its ok to be jealous. The truth is I have a heritage you are dreaming about. If you are one of these fyromians, even the Word Makedonia is from greek. I can explain it with my greek language. You can not with your slavic. You use my language in your education, you use greek Words and the greek alphapet. My history goes back in ancient time, your started principically in 1991. Furthermore, you dont know a shit about greek, modern history. If u were greek, you would be ashamed now

[reek Reekitis]

The example of modern Greece provides a useful key to historicizing those whom Eric Wolf has ironically dubbed "the people without history" (Wolf 1982). For the modern Greeks — a people arguably plagued by an excess of history but of a kind invented for them by more powerful others — face real-life dilemmas of self-description (for example: "are we European?")

No History No Culture No Identity = modern greek

HAHHAHA RIGHT!

But what can we say about this new nation, 20 years old without history, without heritage, without nothing. Trying to deny their bulgarian truth. So what if they steal statues? They can not steal our origin, WE ARE GREEKS. We speak greek, we speak the same language as Alexander the great did. What if they try to build a new Skopje, that doesnt change anything. MAKEDONIA WAS IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE HELLENIC. not slavic. poor, confused brainwashed fyro(m)ians!

even the other Slavic nations are chuckling at Vardarskis.
