That started a furor last time.
But is hard to deny.

If you're following my posts, you know that I am just as insanely outraged as the rest of you, but I have noticed this:

When you guys discuss on this forum you say "let those people suffer" or "those people" as if we are NOT the same people! As if the diaspora is different from the citizens of Macedonia! I understand that many times we have a difference in opinion, and many times the people of Macedonia think the diaspora is "crazy and nationalistic", believe me I have seen this, but we can't advocate for a better Macedonia while at the same time distancing ourselves from people in our homeland!

It reminds me of the way Ohrigjani hate Skopjani. When Skopjani are down there, it's mostly "abe skopjancista edni, naduvani" as if everbody from Skopje thinks highly of themselves. They hate us Skopjani the same amount or more than they hate shiptari. it almost feels like some diaspora people feel the same way about Macedonians in Macedonia.

Let's be united people! If you have relatives back home, get their email, get their facebook, and let them know that they should be fighting for their rights, our rights, our country!

I understand what you're saying but what is actually happening is the reverse of what you say here.........
[QUOTE] distancing ourselves from people in our homeland[/QUOTE]

I don't think we are distancing ourselves, I think ROM is distancing itself from us! There are many examples one of which was the debacle about a diaspora representative from Oz, what a complete joke that was, as if to say fu*$ you we'll let you know who your rep. is!

In Kosovo not in Macedonia but anyway:

Kosovo fans burn Macedonan flag:

Including a "2012 is not the end of the world, it's the end of Macedonia" banner.

ProMKD, in many cases saying 'those' people is a simple geographical distinction, not an ethnic one. You're reading too much into it. Nobody is denying that they are Macedonians, let's not get carried away. Having said that, it can also mean 'those' who are indifferent to the plight of our common fatherland, or 'those' who actively support treacherous policies, and they can be found across the world.

Easier said than done.

I was referring to the Macedonian people in Macedonia.

And that's 100% true.

Hi DCH,
Last I read about you on the forum, I think, you were going back to RoM for good. Has this happened? and, if so, is it what you expected? From a 'foot-on-the-ground' perspective (a month or two holiday is not the same), is there any hope for RoM?

Now I'm not so sure I wanna live here forever, if that were even possible from the beginning. This country will either split like serbia and kosovo, or it won't exist at all.

Well, let's see. If we can get rid of the bugarofils, terrorists and the euro-whores, then we might have a chance. But I don't see any of this happening, so no.
