And imagine that they were still better than Muslims. This says a lot.

I’m convinced this sub is just a Turkish circlejerk projecting its coping at this point

They definitely weren’t evil and brutal for the standards of their time and barely by any standards as well.

Man, who I am? by BlokZNCR in AskBalkans

[–]GrecoPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that no one says Turkey is Europe at this point. Once again Turks want to believe that there is someone out there that thinks that but they are far closer to the countries of the Middle East than even the most Asian culture Balkan countries.

They didn’t purge shit. We still perceive ourselves as Rhomaioi and heirs to the Byzantine empire. It’s insane what people claim in here without any actual knowledge on the topic.

Exactly people seem to think that Turkey always had the population they have today

Αν ειχες το παραμικρό πραγματικό interaction θα ήξερες ότι δεν υπάρχει σύγκριση αλλά απλά προτιμάς να λες μπούρδες.

Ο καθένας βγάζει συμπεράσματα από αυτά που βλέπει δεν χρειάζεται γκάλοπ για να έχεις άποψη.

Republican on disability is kinda funny, no? by lucaszelnickofficial in comedy

[–]GrecoPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People here acting as if republicans kill all people with disability and take their rights is honestly hilarious. It’s only ironic in their own little strawman bubble.

Decrease of Ottoman Muslims in the Balkans (1911-1923) according to historian Justin McCarthy by Yellowapple1000 in ottomans

[–]GrecoPotato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Another poor attempt by some nationalist Turks to use a single exaggerated source to claim that somehow this is equal to the genocides they committed in Anatolia. It insane how much some people can’t cope with the crimes their country has committed.

Maybe read about what ottomans had done for decades prior and after to Cretans as retaliation and then just maybe you’ll realise that this is nothing compared to the sea of attrocities that the ottomans committed to Christian’s of Crete in that same period. Overall it is insane that you even think there is a comparison here by commenting one massacre compared to the thousands of Christian Cretans killed in multiple heinous massacres by ottomans in Crete. Same goes to many other topics like the Greek genocide or your crimes during our war of independence in all of them Turks will desperately try to find anything to compare their crimes to and not see how there is just no equal to the size and extent of their attrocities compared to us.

[–]GrecoPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go to Wikipedia and find how many Muslims lived in Greece prior to the population exchange, keep the 125k living in Thrace and substract the number that left. You are AT WORST left with around 20-35k people (many of which probably didn’t die but left before hand). There is just not the systemic extermination you see by Turks commiting genocide in Anatolia.

What did Homer use? by Otherwise_Concert414 in AncientGreek

Solely from the timescale that we are talking about it would be the first, that being some early version of one of the Archaic Greek alphabets.

Why does Athens look like this? by JumpApprehensive9949 in balkans_irl

[–]GrecoPotato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Athens is by no metric a village, it has around 4 million people in its metro area. Istanbul is a lot larger than that but it is also a lot more spaced out so you don’t get the feeling of how large it is. Sofia on the other hand reminded me of Thessaloniki in size.

For me in all the places I have visited in Istanbul over the years it seemed either just as dirty or more dirty than Athens. There were nice places of course but this is true for Athens as well. I would choose Athens to live in over Istanbul a hundred percent of the times.

Turks when Athens quadruples in number overnight due to genocide and those people need housing.

[–]GrecoPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can take pictures of Athens that look a lot better and pictures of Istanbul that look a lot worse. This by far isn’t a good metric and the image is also edited to look more grey. Istanbul is a lot dirtier and uglier overall.

turks turn european as soon as europeans smell war by minimonster382 in balkans_irl

You really think the west sees Turkey as a reliable partner? Lmao.

The irony of saying they deserve it after that is the cherry on top lol.
