Maknews in turmoil over the term "Slav"

[The Blood of Dorus]

The disciples of Stefov are at each others throats over Slavic ethnicity - check out this thread on Maknews:

http://www.maknews.com/forum/viewtop...=asc&start=120

A very confused, illogical and unsubstantiated set of arguments. Just goes to show that they themselves can't agree on who they really are. Each one holds his own dear view as to what they are. No consensus amongst them shows the ridiculous quality of their arguments and beliefs.

And here, a good summary by one of Stefov's men as to the confusion they are currently suffering:

Dorus (sorry because I cut your usename)
The members of the maknews are pent up in a path of seeking the truth. There are some hotheads like (SoM) or quiders (Stefou,Yannis) but the majority of them are not follow the superamacists or natiolistics views regarding the Unification, Proto-Slavism e.t.c.
Read this thread and you will understand what they have learned all these years and soon I will post what they try to "serve"(french term) now and in the future.

Thanks Akritas, a very interesting read. But what I do find amazing on their forum is that they cannot agree amongst themselves what they are - some say that the Slavs were the original, indigenous population of the Balkans. They think Illyrians, Thracians, Macedonians, Pannonians and Dacians were Slavs. Others abhore the term Slav. Others agree that there was a Slavic migration/invasion in the 6th century AD. Given this confusion, it appears to me that they are forever running around in circles without a clear theory as to what they are. This is their downfall because it shows all their historical claims are simply theories and fanatasies which not even they can agree upon.

Just take the fact that the Skopjan mainstream theory (since 50s) is the the continuity of Macedonia as a geographical and national unit pervades all history books-articles and is fostered by every possible means. All books-articles-texts in the specific forum (also and the links) have maps illustrating a single Macedonia so that the members-readers will have no doubts regarding the truth of the texts, and from time to time them are required to answer questions on the subject.

In theirs books, net articles ancient Macedonians make their first appearance towards the beginning of the 9th century BC SUDDENLY. In the Slavic appeareance mentioned that the ancient Macedonians transmitted to the Slavs not only their culture and their customs but also the names Macedonia and Macedonians and thus remained distinct from the other Balkan peoples. This is the mainstream continuity. Of course some people like Yannis (oximoron the usage of a Greek name) try to involve and the DNA -ethnicity e.t.c.

I was speaking with a former boss of mine, and friend, who was surprised that the Slavs were up this nonsense again. He is retired now, but the drive of a man many years younger. Anyway, I mention he is older (not old) b/c this stuff is not taken too seriously by most of the educated in past generations, but the young who know nothing and read the dribble on many of these Slavic propaganda sites, can not distinguish between the fiction of the Slavs, and the facts of the Hellenes.
