Because nationalism is norm in the Balkans and taboo where you're from. Are you envy ?
Because Apricity is A European Cultural Community, at least it supposed to be...
Just look at some old threads here about Albanians and on forums like Stormfront and you would understand why I'm here .... :lol:
Lies after lies after lies but is it really worth caring about ? Sometimes even idiots don't deserve to die in ignorance though ....
I thought this forum was about Europe, isn't Balkan just an extension of the Middle East?
According to Swedish Wikipedia you guys are part of the Levant.
Quote:
The Levant (Italian il Levante, "the eastern country", really "the sunrise", by levarsi, "rise"), was used in the past as a general term for all countries around the eastern Mediterranean beyond Italy, and included both the Balkan countries, Turkey and Egypt.
Probably that + I think also there is a larger proportion of southern Europeans in general because of the complicated history of these countries. Definitely a Finnish wouldn't ask itself if he is more southern-shifted, if he was some Levantine DNA or North African...
Southern Euro countries had been invaded and conquered by a lot of different peoples : Ottomans, Arabs (I include Levantine, North-Africans and Arab Peninsular), northern tribes, Normans, Romans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Ancient Greeks...
This awakens the need of finding answers about these historical facts and the impact they had in the populations.

I’ve wondered about this myself. Serbs alone seem to make up a large percentage of active members.
If you had a slice of culture you would have known that the name "Europe" came from the ancient Greek Εὐρώπη . If Greece is a part of the Middle East (beeing in the Balkans) therefore Europe has a Middle-Eastern name. :)
+ Ancient Greeks would consider you like barbarians so... You were the Middle East for Greece civilization.
Because they enjoy good conversations, have thoughts and feelings about things and are generally well-informed.
You have delirious thoughts, Europe is Europe and has been built with the help of Northerners, Westerners, Easterners and Southerners Europeans. Greco-Roman civilization gives so much to our world that you can't even imagine what occidental civilization would look without these fundamental contributions.
+ and I'm even not 100% southern european for information
double post
No clue. You say that like it's a problem though, when it really isn't. :)
It'll be nice if people didnt have such a deep infactuation with Greece and Greeks for few weeks tbh.
Too dumb to have jobs.
Yep but I was talking about the linguistic etymology not necessarily what Europe means.
I am not denying the connections between Europe and Middle East it would be stupid. Those who are denying that are fools. Genetically the next group we are close to are Middle-Easterners so they aren't Aliens definitely (even if some are very SSA admixed).

Scandinavians have quite some farmer like ancestry
https://cache.eupedia.com/images/con..._admixture.png
In the rest of Europe they were largely replaced by steppe migrants.
Most Europeans aren't Hunter Gatherers at all, such ancestry was picked up from farmers that had settled there earlier mostly or it's just genetic similarity with WHG people due to Europeans carrying EHG ancestry due to Steppe like origin which could of had some type of genetic similarity with WHG though I could be wrong on this and I have no idea if they were even genetically similar.
But makes absolutely no sense for WHG to peak in for example Baltic people. It's obvious their not descendants of any WHG people .... They carry a lot of EHG from Steppe Iron Age ancestry.
There is no English-language forum for the Balkans, so this forum fills that gap.
Political temperament due to recent ethnoreligious conflicts in the region.
It's same with middle Easterners on defence related forums. Go to one and you will find bunch of Iranians Arabs and Turks talking about missiles.
Balkan countries are small, the sort real nations wipe their arse with, and bomb for fun. No one who doesn't live in the Balkans cares if the locals devour each other in an orgy of scat cannibalism.
Majority of Balkan posters here are diaspora, pathetic individuals trying to feel oh so mighty above its neighbour while swimming in a pile of shit, giant proportions of Balkan shitholes and every other country there have emigrated to the west. Why are they all so nationalistic about a place they've never been to is something I never understood.
Take this person for example, literally it seems his entire life is devoted to shitting on Croats on TA, but he also includes Albanians and Hungarians sometimes too.
PS: If this thread doesn't turn into a balkan shit-flinging match then I'm going to be very disappointed lel.
