Why is FYROM even its own country? The people living there are just Bulgarians with an accent. Sure it was a republic within Yugoslavia but Yugoslavia was a shitty meme country that gave us the likes of Montenegro. Seriously, why can't some of these Balkan countries just join other countries? FYROM could even stop being cucked out of its coastline if it did that.

You and that Kurd shitposter and that refugee poltard should kill yourselves

Alexander the Great was born in an area of modern-day Greece. The republic of Macedonia has FAKE NEWS which claim they descent from Alexander. Basically sad larpers without any history of their own. SAD.

Ethnogenesis and self determination. LARPing aside, get any group with a common enemy and enough internal cohesion, and despite all things to the contrary, they'll declare themselves X and pursue their own interests. Nation-emerging doesn't always conform to "rules" like cultural heritage, ethnicity or historicity. LARPing as ancient Macedonians is just a boost, to cement the glue that keeps the nation together.

Yes, that's it pretty much. They consider themselves separate to Bulgarians so they are. Though the future of that state in its current borders doesn't seem extremely bright.
