They can take their country back, it wouldn't be the first time.
Back then they still had God on their side. Nowadays in the 8 front war putting together a resistance is harder than ever before.
True.
I think I first came across this YouTube channel when looking for information on the opioid epidemic in Frankfurt. It's pretty bad: predictably, a lot of Syrian migrants and other foreigners are involved.
I find it difficult to empathize with Spain. Their ancestors already kicked these Maghrebis and other foreigners out. They went on to have their Golden Age. The lesser of evils won the Spanish Civil War. By global standards, they have done quite well for themselves.
Then Franco's era ends. The Republicans effectively win the Civil War because Franco ensured that power would go to the wrong royal after his death, and Francoist coup attempts trying to reverse this mistake failed. With the Spanish Republic now consolidated, you rapidly vote your way to... this? Street-shitting? Drug dealing? Mass vandalism?
With Catalonia, the particular area in the video, I find it even more difficult to empathize. They only wanted to break away from Spain under Puigdemont because they did not see Spain as sufficiently like this. If the Catalan separatists were to succeed, they would actually double-down on this direction, because they see these people as becoming Catalans and Spanish people as non-Catalans. Their 'nationalism' is purely anti-Spain. Spaniards out, everyone else in! They are simply Spain's analogue of Ireland's Sinn Fein (Out with the Black and Tans, in with the Blacks and Trans!) or the Scottish National Party.
What, then, is the point of them becoming independent? It is obvious that under Spain they are getting most of what they wanted, especially insofar as multiracial immigration is concerned.
Spaniards will keep voting PSOE and PP, and even Vox is unlikely to change the overall direction wherever they get power, except perhaps beyond removing illegals and people from Muslim countries. Vox, as 'culturalists' rather than nationalists, love Hispanics, for instance, because they see Hispanics as culturally Spanish. What is the point of replacing Moroccans with Mexicans, or replacing Algerians with 56% European Argentines?
Catalans will continue to stay mad, because even PSOE are anti-separatist, let alone Vox and PP.
