So they changed the statues

[Risto the Great]

I thought the Ventilator was the best example of the slave mentality and capitulations of modern Macedonians.

But no, there appears to be a competition amongst Macedonians to outdo each other in terms of symbols of capitulation.

Back in the old days, we could look at the ventilator and say .... my goodness ... if only the Macedonians knew what they were trying to honour. Now, we have a plethora of symbols to look at. What Macedonian's soul wouldn't explode with the joy of walking past the statues with amended symbols. Such significant artistic expressionism. We can literally walk past the statues and under flags of Macedonia at the same time and smell the symbolism.

Supporters of the FoC (Flag of Capitulation) aka Ventilator. Please explain how you feel about the amended statues. I am sure if you turn over a rock somewhere in Macedonia, you will find a marking that with the right amount of photoshop and internet wizardry will look like an authentic Macedonian symbol.

I have been wondering what Macedonian symbols actually belong to us lately and am starting to think there in only one symbol we can uniquely embrace:



If anyone is disgusted with the changes to the statues and cannot see how the same thing transpired in relation to the flag, please adopt the new symbol above immediately.

RtG,

This new symbol, the chains, captures the essense of the Macedonian spirit more than any other. However, there is a contradiction. If we CHOOSE it, the act of choice will contradict the Macedonian mentality and the symbol itself will lose meaning. We cann only overcome this by finding someone to FORCE it onto us.

Everything else has been forced on to Macedonians, so I suspect it will only be a matter of time.

for whatever reason, i never felt opposed to 'skopje 2014' but now that our artistic endeavour is audited by the greeks, what's the fucking point of it all?!

I find the handcuffs very symbolic of the mentality and subservience, now all we need is someone to force it upon us, and we can proudly display it as part of our identity. And slag off anyone that tells us otherwise, and blame the diaspora, of course, that we should be embracing it because we were told to do so

Sorry for asking, I am completely dumbfound on this, but which statues have been changed?

Could you also post pictures of the "changed statues"?

Also, if possible are there articles stating why they have been changed?
