Macedonia is not a region within Greece, the comparison with Kosovo is nonsense. If anything you would have to compare it to Albania. But Northern Greeks have no intention to secede anyway, and Macedonia is in no way capable of taking it by force. And it's still just a stupid name. Macedonians calling themselves officially Northern Macedonia would in no way discourage them. In fact Greece's blatant interference with Macedonia' domestic affairs probably increased nationalist feelings there by a factor 1000.
As for "faux ultra-nationalist narratives", that's exactly what you are doing. It's all just faux bullshit Greek nationalism.

It is about historical textbooks, revisionism, propaganda, fake narratives. The idea that Kossovo was a threat to Yugoslavia was utterly preposterous by the way even more so when Kossovar Albanians enjoyed full equal rights both as citizens and as a constituent nation. The idea that faux ultra-nationalist narratives should be permitted to fester is indeed preposterous and it does make Hitler look reasonable.
