Is Scottish Nationalism Still Just Nationalism?

[Guest Anime Otaku]

Even Scotland got infected by the UKIP stupidity, I think there were 6 EU seats going, 1 went to UKIP, on the bright side SNP took the other 5 which should be helpful in the event of a yes vote in the independence referendum.

[Guest Magic]

That's not right. The SNP took 2, along with Labour, and UKIP and the Conservatives took one each.

Only Scotland would "liberals" moan about British nationalists winning things whilst congratulating Scottish nationalists for doing the same. At least they're our nasty, xenophobic, populists eh?

Been saying that for months and years fella. The only difference between Farage and Salmond is the accent.

SNP are not xenophobic just because they are in favour of Scottish independence. They are in favour of immigration and pro european union unlike UKIP.

The SNP blame Scotland's problem, that national ethnicity's problems, on being part of the Britain, on "those people" "over there" not doing things for "our people". It's exactly the same game UKIP play with the European Union. Us vs. them, the insider vs. the outsider, over here vs. over there. The only difference is that the SNP are nationalist socialists, and UKIP are nationalist conservatives. Their nastiness, and their attitude to outsiders, and their attitude of "if it was just our people, we'd be okay" is as right-wing as anything, it's just not homophobic or overtly anti-minority racist, so the people who convinced me to never refer to myself as a liberal ever again don't care.

 

Let's see what Facebook groups and people who use the phrase "Trigger Warning" would think if Texas got it's own successful Texan nationalist party, what with their oil, and their history of being a separate country. Nasty, divisive nationalism isn't so fun when the nasty, divisive nationalists aren't using the same political vocabulary as you.

That's true. There are lots of other reasons why they're xenophobic.

I hate that attitude, hate it, can't see why anyone would vote Ukip they don't want to be there. One person said she would vote no on everything. Which is stupid, so no to something that benefits us too. Ukip plays on morons fears but it's stupid the problem with the UK lies in the UK nothing to do with Europe. If people cannot get jobs it because they don't try everything, believe some jobs are below them, just not good enough or just lazy. We shouldn't blame others for our faults but it's easy to do and that's what they play on. They have zero other polices so why do people vote for them at the council elections, they will do nothing at a general election thank god.

What really pisses me off is peoples over here say to me the only solution to one radicalism is to go for another radicalism and say yes for independence.

 

F*****g idiots. Really annoys me

I heard Salmond is trying to get Braveheart re-released at the Cinemas in Scotland on the Seventeenth of September this year...
