This is just not true. Jews are just another white Westerner group. And they have scumbag Leftists just like other white ethnic groups.

I'm sure you'll tell me to go read the Protocols of Zion or My Awakening or Which Way Western Man, but I already read them in the late 1990s and many more (This Time the World comes to mind), but I just don't buy it.

In fact, the West reclaimed the Holy land in 1917 and then stuck a bunch of European Jews in there on purpose. Israel is a Western protectorate.

You're an emasculated, rootless twat.

We Orthodox are nothing like you're used to.

The Greek Orthodox were the only official state church of the Roman Empire (not the Catholics).

They LITERALLY created the bible for their Church.

They are the only Church on the planet that does not use a translation.

The ancient Greek Fathers are the ones who laid down everything Christians believe after Paul.

The only book written by a non-Jew in the entire Bible was written by a Greek doctor (Luke).

We are called Greek Orthodox due to the language and heritage not an ethnicity

You are too stupid to discuss theology with.

Take a hint, bro: none of your posts get any likes or attention lol

[GreekRealm @TheGreekRealm]

Greek Orthodox, the original historic Church, do NOT believe in hell fire or an eternal fiery pit.

You are a Protestant so you inherited that false belief from the very Catholics you rebelled against and who are the ones who came up with the insane fiery pit of Hell eternal-weenie-roast concept in the 12th century (lol).

The Bible simply states that being separated from God's love "will burn the soul like a flame."

Funny, what you imply. The Orthodox are WORLD FAMOUS for NOT proselytizing ("Lord, Lord") like you annoying Protestants always do.

We don't try to convert anyone and we don't even talk about God or religion, not ever!

We simply show our faith quietly through our actions, conduct and deeds.

People seek out the ancient Church (usually once they start reading history) and they find us; we don't seek converts

This is SO SAD and even kinda GAY. How fucking WEIRD is it that you are so obsessed with being a Northern European??? Since I'm not a FUCKING RETARD I'm not going to pick out all the Greeks with natural blonde hair to make a SUPER CREEPY compilation like you do! This is truly bizarre.

By the way, 95% of Albanians DO NOT have blonde hair (lol) which is the exact same ratio for Greeks (4% to 8% blonde hair) and most of the Balkans.

Funny enough, my grandfather, born 1904 in Chios, had blonde hair. Pasty white skin is not near as attractive as natural olive skin of Southern Europeans in my opinion. You like pasty skin from all the PORN you watch

[GreekRealm @TheGreekRealm]

That you don't realize what a retarded twat this kind of stuff makes you and by extension your people look like is so indicative of that low IQ everyone is always talking about with Albanians. It's just so stupid that is is actually surprising (!)

How fucking GAY is it that you morons are ashamed of your Illyrian heritage that you have to LARP as-if you have pasty white ancestors (lol).

Ancient Greeks were not pasty white, I have provided you with dozens of racial descriptions from their own mouths that prove it.

You don't bother Greeks at all with the name-calling lol. We know Greeks were never pasty white

[GreekRealm @TheGreekRealm]

Meanwhile: the average Albanian (who WISH they were pasty white people for some reason lol). We Greeks love being olive-skinned

[GreekRealm @TheGreekRealm]

He was literally recorded by multiple men who knew Him. That’s exactly what the Gospels are: a record of Jesus' teachings.

What a complete dipshit

[GreekRealm @TheGreekRealm]

Are you a fucking low IQ retard, too? 😂

100% IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE that the Greeks and Romans NEVER looked like Northern Europeans:

The ancient Greeks and Romans wrote extensively about skin color. Ancient writers used a climate-based environmental theory to explain physical differences:

* The North - they described Celts and Scythians as having pasty, pale skin and red/blonde hair because the cold, damp climate lacked sun.

* The South - they described Eithiopians as having dark, "burnt" skin and curly hair because the intense heat of the sun literally scorched them.

* The Center - they viewed their own olive, tanned skin as the ideal, perfect balance under the sun.

--Hippocratic corpus, 'Airs, Waters, Places' (5th century BC)

Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans viewed the barbarians in Northern Europe as very odd looking in comparison to themselves:

"The men are of a ruddy colour, and have white skins... The cold [weather] burns their white skin and turns it ruddy." --Hippocrates (c. 460–370 BC), in Airs, Waters, Places (ch. 17), on the Scythians (a nomadic northern people east of the Black Sea).

This reflects a common Greek view that northern cold "cooks" the skin, making it pale yet flushed.

"The Budini... have brilliant blue eyes and bright red hair." --Herodotus (c. 484–425 BC), in Histories (4.108–109), on the Budini (a Scythian-related tribe in the far north).

"In cold northern countries distant from the south, the dewy air's dampness increases body size, making inhabitants large in stature, light in complexion, with straight red hair and blue eyes..." --Vitruvius (c. 80–15 BC), De Architectura (6.1.3–5)

"...in the opposite and frozen parts of the earth, there are nations with white skins and long light hair." Also describes northerners as having "candida atque glacialis cutis" ("white and frosty skins"). --Pliny the Elder (23–79 AD), Natural History (2.80/189)

"[Let us] chalk our faces so that Gaul will take us for her own sons; as if color alone could change one’s figure!" --Petronius (c. 27–66 AD), Satyricon (15.2, Cena Trimalchionis). In this satirical novel, characters joke about disguising as Gauls by whitening their faces with chalk, satirizing the Roman stereotype of Gauls (Celts) as distinctly pale.

"Hence amongst such a mighty multitude of men, the same make and form is found in all: eyes stern and blue, yellow hair, huge bodies..." --Tacitus (c. 56–120 AD),

"Germaniae candidi" --Julius Firmicus Maternus (c. 280–370 AD), Mathesis. Roman astrologer contrasts pale Germans with dark Ethiopians, echoing earlier views.

Describes invading Goths (northern Germanic tribe) as having "white bodies and fair hair"; similarly, the Hephthalites ("White Huns") as "white bodies and countenances." --Procopius (c. 500–565 AD), History of the Wars (Gothic Wars)

"North men are fair-skinned and blonde-haired." Strabo (c. 64 BCE–24 AD) "The Gauls are tall of body, with rippling muscles, and white of skin, and their hair is blond, and not only naturally so, but they also make it their practice by artificial means to increase the distinguishing colour which nature has given it." --Diodorus Siculus (c. 90–30 BCE), Bibliotheca Historica (5.28.1), on the Gauls (Celts)

"The natives of those countries which lie under the more remote northern parallels... are fair in complexion, with straight hair, of large bodies and full stature." --Ptolemy (c. 100–170 AD), _Tetrabiblos_ (2.2), on northern (Scythian-like) peoples. Ptolemy, an Alexandrian Greek astronomer, attributes this paleness to cold and moisture, linking it to "wild" dispositions.

"The fact that they fight naked makes their wounds conspicuous and their bodies are fleshy and white, as is natural, since they are never uncovered except in battle; so that both more blood flowed from their abundant flesh and the wounds stood out to view more fearfully and the whiteness of their skins was more stained by the black blood." --Livy (59 BC–17 AD), Ab Urbe Condita (38.21.9)

"Nearly all the Gauls are of a lofty stature, white, and of ruddy complexion; terrible from the sternness of their eyes, very quarrelsome, and of great pride and insolence." --Ammianus Marcellinus (c. 330–395 AD), _Res Gestae_ (15.12.1)

"Those parts which lie next to the icy zones and are deserted by the heat of the sun endow the men born in their vicinity with a shining white appearance." --Julius Firmicus Maternus (c. 280–370 AD), Matheseos Libri (X.8)

"...why is the whole population of Ethiopia black, of Germany blond...?" --Julius Firmicus Maternus (c. 280–370 AD), Matheseos Libri (II.1)

Debunked in real-time!

GROK:

Ancient-to-modern Greek continuity is well-supported by genetics and language, Arvanites were participants in a broader Greek revolt rather than its sole authors, and British involvement was one piece of Great Power intervention rather than the decisive gift of statehood.

Genetic studies of Bronze Age Aegean remains (Mycenaeans and related groups) show that present-day Greeks derive the large majority of their ancestry from those same populations, with later admixture from steppe-related groups in the Middle Bronze Age and smaller subsequent inputs. Continuity is described as “particularly striking” given the region’s history as a crossroads. https://t.co/fV7jbvyDp7

The Greek language itself is attested from Mycenaean Linear B through classical, Hellenistic, Byzantine, and modern forms. The claim of “nothing to do with Ancient Greeks” is therefore inaccurate.

Arvanites—Orthodox Christians of medieval Albanian-speaking origin who settled in southern Greece—did play a prominent military and naval role in 1821–1829, especially from Hydra, Spetses, and Souli. Figures such as Andreas Miaoulis and members of the Kountouriotis family were important. They fought as Greek patriots under a shared Orthodox and emerging national identity, not as agents of a then-nonexistent Albanian nation-state. Exaggerated claims that they constituted “90% of heroes” or “gave Greece independence” originate in later nationalist writings and are not accepted by mainstream historiography. The revolt involved Greek-speakers from the Peloponnese, islands, and Rumeli, plus philhellene volunteers.

Independence was secured after years of fighting by the 1827 Battle of Navarino (British, French, and Russian squadrons) and subsequent London protocols that created an independent Greek state under Great Power guarantee. Britain’s diplomatic and naval contribution was real and significant, but it was not unilateral and came after the uprising had already begun. Modern Greece, like other 19th-century nation-states, involved nation-building, territorial expansion, and the 1923 population exchange that increased religious and linguistic homogeneity.
