>mfw learning that hundreds of years before the Ottomans, slavs invaded Greece and occupied over 90% of the byzantine empire, and so many Slavs and Turks came to live in "Greece" that later during Greek independence, the authorities realized they'd completely lost all records of the past and many Greek village, street, and place names were are actually Slavic/Turkish in origin, so they had to set up hundreds of special committees to create new Greek sounding names, and nowadays using the old Slavic/turkic names is literally illegal

I think Greeks are the most delusional group of people to ever walk this earth. You can't say "we wuz Aristotle we invented democracy and western society we wuz romanz, hahaha we raped and conquered the eastern Mediterranean, but also Turks are oppressors and occupiers and also we're 100% Greek, no foreign blood at all, also turkey and Germany pls gib reparations" all at the same time, but somehow Greeks found a way.
