I’ve been going there for about 20 years and went to Athens (technically Glyfada) for the first time ever last month and now I think that everyone who lives in the Greek part of Macedonia is basically a cowboy when comparing to the others who live in Athens.
>and the other Macedonians?
Can’t distinguish them easily, most of them seem like they came from Anatolia, not native to the region.
Stolen land, expelled Macedonians, forcefully inhabited by Greeks.
The “other” Macedonians are Pontic Greeks settled there after 1922. Those same new “Macedonians” made the life of the inhabitants that lived there for centuries a living hell. And even managed to chase half and more of them out of Greece. So what’s there to think?
its definitely nice and we don’t really care about the greek macedonians or however they identify over there only about the remaining actual macedonians that are fighting for their rights till this day
Same with most people or places in life, will never visit them therefore don’t care about them in any way, their existence has no impact on my life.
Wish nothing but the best for them though.
I think they should join the Republic of Macedonia since they’re Macedonians ❤️
We’ve got more Ancient Macedonian DNA than them, but I’ll admit that DNA doesn’t mean anything.
I have heard greeks calling themselves macedonians, after talking to each other both of us realize everyone is human and mention to me how Bitola and Ohrid are beautiful. And I tell them how beautiful their food and sea is.
I don’t impose my beliefs on them, we enjoy life.
As a “Aegean” Macedonian I only find it irritating that Pontic Greeks are the loudest “Macedonians” of Greek Macedonia.
Other than that, as a subscriber of the now largely dead and forgotten ideal of “Macedonia for the Macedonians” (as in to all Macedonians, Slavic, Hellenic, Albanian etc.), I consider every ethnicity of Macedonia as brethren, and rightful “Macedonians”.
Until ~1920s we intermarried freely, spoke each other’s language interchangeably and you would be hard pressed to find a lot of differences between Slavo-Macedonians and Helleno-Macedonians.
Pirin Macedonians are essentially the same people as the rest of South-Eastern Slavo-Macedonians so I guess the only difference is regional and that for the most part they are completely and utterly assimilated within the larger Bulgarian state.
Why i mean why opening endless themes don’t you need to dump the garbage or wash the dishes or walk the dog i mean literally do something healthy
holy ratios in these comments 😂😂😂🇲🇰💪
Greeks did to us what the Isrealis are doing to the Palestinians
There are nationalists and racists everywhere. I have no special opinion, and I’m 50% Macedonian and 50% Serbian based on 6 generations. Other than that, people may get influenced by politics. I don’t have an issue going there, and the experience is always about the people around you, same as any other location.
And.. I have been to Albania, Greece, Kosovo, Bulgaria. I didn’t feel hated.
If you’re gonna shit on comments here maybe dont post (and i suggest to delete your post post), you’re gonna be reported, thanks, bye
Retarded troll…
They are a nothing burger. Nothing to think about or admire
90% of those Slavic speaking Macedonians in Greece are more Greeks than Greeks themselves…

Greeks can’t even admit they are Balcan. “Cradle of democracy”. Acording to Greece 15 years ago Macedonians didn’t exist. Now its the other Macedonians?
Macedonians are everywhere, even in Greece.
Looking forward to seeing this reposted in r/Greece with OP complaining about the reaction in the comments.
Now picture this: I go and post some bait question in r/Greece, how do you think people are going to react there?
Man, I love the Balkan countries, but we aren’t ready to live with each other yet. We tolerate each other, but my god, we are probably the most nationalistic people on the planet, and far from the relationship that we should have. We should take the Baltics as an example in how to coexist.
I don’t want to delve into our shared history, Greece and N. Macedonia, as it’s way too complicated to put into a reddit post. All I wish for is for us to coexist in peace and respect each other.
I mean, despite Macedonians arguing with Greeks online, Greece is still the number one country we go on vacation to. I’ve personally been 3 times, in 3 different locations and had a great time, and it’s obviously a lovely country with great people. Despite how our relationship appears online, many businesses in Macedonia are owned by Greeks nowadays, and it makes 0 sense to fight online over things that we have zero effect on.
Met a dude in a small town about 90km south of Lerin at a gas station. We did not have enough gas to make it back to Bitola, so navigation took us to a small town out of the road. Typical Mexican movie small town with only a single gas pump thing, and a fat dude sitting on a plastic chair. When we tried talking in English, he tried Greek and we could not understand each other, then me and my friend spoke Macedonian to each other, and he spoke to us in an archaic form of Macedonian. I am talking a macedonian that even my great grandma would not speak. We asked him if he was a “nash”, he said he was a “nash”. Spoke how there was plenty of aegean Macedonians all over the Greek state of Macedonia (ehee i u Solun sme isto) and how he is named Giorgios but that’s because his mom and dad wanted to name him Georgi. He said he has never been north of the border because he considered that, the country up north abandoned his people a long time ago (did not even want to mention it’s name), could not have agreed more. Then another dude came with his car, they spoke macedonian again, Georgi bought us some coffee for the road back, and we said our goobyes. Imo The world is bigger than politics and the internet, and I think that people sometime forget that your decisions affect real people by en large.
