I bet you don't feel the same about separatism in Catalonia, Donbas, Kurdistan, or the Zapatistas.

Literally none of those are imperialism. Imperialism isn’t having a region want independence. Do you think Scotland not being allowed to have a vote is imperialism?

Not them, but fucking yes? Like, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales were literally conquered by imperialist England.
