- Given how the Brexiters treated Scotland... I don't blame you one bit. I just hope you will rejoin us in the EU
- Past treatment is irrelevant. I'm not Scottish, but a British person talking about empires like you were is hypocritical af.
- Dude... The British Empire has not existed for a long time... long before I was born in fact. If the Scottish people want to leave the UK, then they have the power to. Russian imperialism exists RIGHT NOW. Aim your criticism where it is deserved.
- It's been a long time since Russia expanded too. Whether they are still expanding is actually irrelevant to 99% of their territories by your hollow arguments. Scottish independence also isn't fully in the hands of the Scottish, as it was blocked by the supreme court.
- How fucking long? 2023 is not that long. If putting Ukraine's land in rushist constitution as part of russia is not expansion, then maybe stealing piece of Georgia in 2008 will be that for you? No? How about Chechnya 2000?
- Chechenya is a great example that authoritarianism is the greatest barrier to independence. Uproar against the local authoritarians is closely tied to independence. The UK is everything blocking Scottish independence, in stark contrast from independence movements in the Russian oblasts.Mar 27, 2025 12:29
