But that doesn't mean I will always disagree with him even if he's right, because it isn't personal. This is true even if I don't believe he is right on a principled ground in good faith.
The point of what I am saying is that Albanians don't view history on their own terms, which they do not have, but entirely on the terms of Western intellectual thought and trends. This is completely unacceptable, but it will remain that way for as long as idiots lead the nation politically, intellectually and spiritually. The charge Laviria levies against the Greeks is exactly that the Greek historical understandings were shaped by Western philhellenes, which is absolutely true, is one he doesn't levy against Albanians, because he doesn't have the self-insight, nor the character, to do so. That he accuses Scholarios Chiotis of this irks me even more when Scholarios undoubtedly always tries his best to argue in good faith, is the least guilty of such type of thinking and is mountain peaks above Laviria as a character.
Both Albanians and Greeks should do their utmost to free themselves from this Western intellectual occupation. There is nothing good in genuinely Anglo-American thought. The sort of intellectual trend I talk about is something I only know of in Russia, which is where both nations should look to learn. As Dugin says, Russians have their own Russian truths. We Albanians should also have our own Albanian truths.
