The Fault line on this issue is between Greeks and Macedonians, however the Greek government is composed mostly of Xers and younger. Therefore the Citizenry's input in how to proceed regarding the international Fault Line is listened to.

This is NOT the case in America, where boomers cherry-pick "responsible" "moral" and "Mature" suggestions instead of listening to the complete will of the citizenry.

Yes there is a political fault line in which boomers choose "conservative" or "liberal" suggestions from those "responsible" choices but both sides tend to ignore the complete will of the citizenry in which suggestions are given a fair hearing regardless of the "maturity" level of those suggestions.

You're completely confusing horizontal fault lines
(inter-generational) with vertical fault lines (inter-ethnic,
inter-religion, inter-geographical, etc.)

To my knowledge, there are no generational splits involved with the
Macedonia name change issues. As far as I know, the Thessaloniki
protests involved all generations. These splits are entirely ethnic
-- Greeks versus a population that calls itself Macedonians, but which
the Greeks (or at least the most extreme, nationalistic Greeks) call
Bulgarians or Albanians.

So, unsurprisingly, your comment doesn't even make sense.
