Who knows? Maybe they are right and Macedonia should be split.
All we know is that it is arguable that a concept of a 'Macedonian' ethnicity even exists, starting with the fact that the claims of self-labeled Macedonians being the true descendents of ancient Macedonians is at least as laughable (if not more) than the claims of Bulgarians and Greeks that you are laughing about.
