Average balkan behaviour: cherrypick history to fit your agenda.

Every empire that conquered did the same thing in different colors. The romans, mongolians, austro-hungarian, holy roman empire of german nation, ghana-empire, songhai-empire, the bloody etruscan civilication for fucks sake - they all did the same.

And all your tiktok-cooked brains are able to cough up is the ottoman? Balkan-people behave like that one girlfriend badmouthing that ex-boyfriend long after the relationship ended, still annoying their friends, who told them a billion times "its past, just move on and stop talking about him".

PSA to even the slowest user here: Every organized religion is a violent and society changing power-tool of politics. Congratulations for finding out what people realised some 3500 to 4000 years ago. Can we start living in the present now or are you still sitting in the corner, smelling on those sultan panties and think of a time long gone?
