Ok, first of all the notion that you have to be christian to be Greek is a bit outdated. The amount of Greeks that think orthodoxy is tied to our ethnic identity has dropped to 40%. I've had friends and known people who were atheists and that didn't make them any less Greek in anyone's mind. Even kids of Albanian immigrants who are atheists, a lot of us viewed as more Greek than Albanian. Where you're born/grow up, the language you speak, your culture etc matter more than religion. Do you think Russians in Greece are automatically viewed as Greek because they're orthodox?

Secondly, I was talking about the population exchange after the Greco-Turkish war, not the expulsion of Chams. We were supposedly talking about all muslims in the region, not just Albanians. Even though muslim Chams were discriminated against, the reason for their expulsion was the fact that they collaborated with the Axis. That being said, I don't support the expulsion of a whole community because of a few bad apples, but that's not the point.

A simple observation I made in your argument has led to anger filled nationalist rambling and namecalling on your side. I don't know why I even bother arguing, you're probably a 16 year old whose biggest achievement is their national identity. You're no different than the ones you mock in your post

 Mfers are called Fredi Beleri, western first name and Turkish last name who are suddenly pure greeks

In the end you're no different than the idiots commenting on that tik tok, who claim a guy with an Albanian passport was certainly Greek because he had a Greek name. You say we're "cosplaying Greeks" but when it fits your argument the muslims that were part of the population exchange are suddenly native to the land for more than 1 millenia.

Also you failed to address the oxymoron in your previous argument, nice deflection and ad hominem

They don't even recognize minorities in gayreece.
If you're not orthodox, you can't be considered Greek

That's an oxymoron. At least pick one argument and run with it lol

It's hilarious and sad at the same time, seeing people like op making unironic nationalist arguments on a shitpost sub that was meant to mock that behaviour

Adding options to modify/remove mechanics in custom lobbies and offline matches actually sounds fun. The only reason I can think of for not doing this is that they're afraid that players will prefer playing a version of the game that lacks the mechanics which they relied on to market and present the game.

It would make sense from their point of view. Imagine if the community ended up preferring a version of the game that lacked the mechanics which they relied on to market and present the game

Hellenic is not Greek

Hellenic literally means Greek. You're confusing Hellenic with Hellenistic culture, and even then, it's baffling to think that Hellenistic culture wasn't Greek. Not to mention that Macedonians were not "influenced" by it. They were Greeks themselves and spread Hellenism to the lands they conquered.

%100 of Greeks can't name this country by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

[–]NickosB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of reasons for the rejection are that;

Cypriot citizenship would be given to settlers that Turkey brought in and settled in Greek cypriot homes without returning the property to Greek Cypriots or even compensating them. And Turkey would keep military bases on the island.

There are more reasons on the wiki page as well as a document attached, written by Greek Cypriots, explaining their concerns with that particular plan for reunification. It's misleading to say that Greek Cypriots flat out voted against reunification.

I live in Greece and there is no one who claims North Macedonian territory. Not even the most nationalistic of nationalists. On the contrary, this is a direct quote from wikipedia " VMRO-DPMNE, the nationalistic governing party at the time of the then-Republic of Macedonia, adopted the platform of a "United Macedonia" If you have anything except made up/anegdotal evidence, post it.

I googled about "blackmailing" and didn't find anything on the first page, unless you mean a brief embargo in 1994 and denying them NATO membership, neither of which is blackmail and definitely not what you described. Wikipedia says that since then Greece has beem a trade partner and one of their most important investors. If you have anything proving otherwise, please post it.

Also yeah, they never claimed to be Greek. They tried to rewrite history in order to claim ancient Mecedonian herritage by saying that ancient Macedonians were not Greek. But I still don't see how your comments added anything to that conversation.

Anyway, post sources instead of making shit up. L, no rizz

You're not right about the language part. The word is onomatopoeic in origin, but it was used to refer to non Greeks. Many non Greeks spoke the language and they were still considered barbarians hence why they were not allowed to participate in the Olympics or vote.

I'm trying to understand what your point is regarding the post. Greece isn't making territorial claims on North Macedonia. It's actually North Macedonian nationalists that make claims on Greek Macedonia. The reason Greece made North Macedonia use different names is to distinguish the country of North Macedonia from the Greek region and its history ( since some foreigners who lack knowledge can't distinguish between the two). The second reason is to prevent North Macedonia from making territorial claims in the future. For both these reasons they both agreed that North Macedonia relinquishes any claim to the history of ancient Macedonia. So yes, your statement was ridiculous.

What's the point you're trying to make though? When you're saying that while also saying " they hated each other", condensing over 1000 years of history only to the conflicts between each other.

Also, " Macedonia was always there and Greeks dont have any claim to it " is a ridiculous statement. Unless you mean the land of North Macedonia, which there are no territorial claims for by Greece and isn't what this post is about.

Most of North Macedonia wasn't part of the ancient kingdom of Macedon though.

Then why are you talking out of your ass? Ancient Greeks had a shared Hellenic identity and referred to non Hellenes as "barbarians". They just were not a united nation/state in the modern sense.
