southern: 1...Look man,whether Alexander the Great feked and beat or not what matters is what we are now and now we are in full sh1t if you understand that.There is no Greek today who can be compared to a hair of the balls of Pericles,Aristoteles etc so to rely on the glory of ''our ancestors'' is at least counterproductive. 2...There are so many descendants of Albanian Arvanites in Greece that you should know that. 3...So many albanian names and surnames.They regard themselves Greek but deep inside they are still Albanians. 4...We also have Turks,Slavs,Vlachs to deny them it is an illusion. 5...Better be in terms with what we are now. 6...Slavs in my opinion are the most non threatening among them generally Slavs have always been passive and peaceful. 7...All sides always use the crazy Albanian with the gun but somehow this has to be stopped.
1...You are right but even with your somewhat negative appraisal...the continuity path of least resistance still runs through the
modern Greeks more so than any other modern people. The Hellenic element, be it fragmented is there if you look for it, , you won't find it chasing the Albanian Path or the Slavic Path or the Turkic Path. Todays Greeks are the modern representatives of the ancient Greeks, here we No talk about direct blood relation to hais on Pericles Bollox, katalaves!
2...How many dude, quantiy that statement. If 50% of modern Greece is Arvanite or Vlach or Slav or Turk, that still leaves enough Greeks to defend and protect their heritage, katalaves!
3...Albanians stay Albanians...Hellenized Albanians must stay loyal to Greece and Hellenism otherwise they stay Albanian, foreigners!
4...Greeks No deny neighbouring peoples the right to Hellenize themselves [[willingly][voluntarily]]
5...What are we now dude ???
6...Slavs, I always considered brother people, untill that is, a portion of them sided with the Turk to ridicule and humiliate the modern Greek and another portion of them faithfully follow a Slavist Revisionist version of history above and beyond that of the long established Mainstream version, you know, the one that is adhered to by the International academic fraternity!
7...Albanians are not as Tuff as you make them out to be!
Consider this:
If ancient Hellenes* died out, expired for whatever reason and left us No heirs to Inherit their legacy...Philologists and Linguists, Anthropologists, Classicist Scholars and general Historians would still have placed them into the Greek Domain, into the Greek-Hellenic Collective of peoples...That Collective would have Included ancient Macedonians* in it as well, right!
As luck would have it, Greeks exist...
The Greeks, and not Greece the country as Greece is a recent Political Construct, all modern Nation States are recent Political Constructs, born from the ashes of defunct empires and an Ideology, Imperialsm, which reached it's azimuth and had to give way to change...
The Greeks...since from the mythical days of the Argonauts to the present, neither the peninsula of Hellas nor Ionia and the Aegean Islands have been large enough to hold the far-wandering Hellenes. Greek is a language and a civilization, the Greeks a people; the Greeks are the descendants of all the peoples who have adopted and retained that language and that civilization from classical times to the present. Some of these converts to Hellenicism were inhabitants of Asia Minor, others of Thrace and Byzantium, others of the lands bordering the Black Sea, especially the Crimea, katalaves!
Nobody except fools talk about direct blood connections to ancient peoples, I talk only of todays Greeks being the modern representatives of the ancient Greeks, that representation in continuity terms, the path of least resistance runs through the modern Greek population and nobody else, todays Greeks are the closest modern people to ancient Greeks in any which way you care to mention, kataleves!
