I’ve been going there for about 20 years and went to Athens (technically Glyfada) for the first time ever last month and now I think that everyone who lives in the Greek part of Macedonia is basically a cowboy when comparing to the others who live in Athens.
>and the other Macedonians?
Can’t distinguish them easily, most of them seem like they came from Anatolia, not native to the region.

Stolen land, expelled Macedonians, forcefully inhabited by Greeks.

The “other” Macedonians are Pontic Greeks settled there after 1922. Those same new “Macedonians” made the life of the inhabitants that lived there for centuries a living hell. And even managed to chase half and more of them out of Greece. So what’s there to think?

Same with most people or places in life, will never visit them therefore don’t care about them in any way, their existence has no impact on my life.
Wish nothing but the best for them though.

I think they should join the Republic of Macedonia since they’re Macedonians ❤️

We’ve got more Ancient Macedonian DNA than them, but I’ll admit that DNA doesn’t mean anything.

I have heard greeks calling themselves macedonians, after talking to each other both of us realize everyone is human and mention to me how Bitola and Ohrid are beautiful. And I tell them how beautiful their food and sea is.
I don’t impose my beliefs on them, we enjoy life.

As a “Aegean” Macedonian I only find it irritating that Pontic Greeks are the loudest “Macedonians” of Greek Macedonia.
Other than that, as a subscriber of the now largely dead and forgotten ideal of “Macedonia for the Macedonians” (as in to all Macedonians, Slavic, Hellenic, Albanian etc.), I consider every ethnicity of Macedonia as brethren, and rightful “Macedonians”.
Until ~1920s we intermarried freely, spoke each other’s language interchangeably and you would be hard pressed to find a lot of differences between Slavo-Macedonians and Helleno-Macedonians.
Pirin Macedonians are essentially the same people as the rest of South-Eastern Slavo-Macedonians so I guess the only difference is regional and that for the most part they are completely and utterly assimilated within the larger Bulgarian state.
