I love hearing people argue against Welsh, Irish and Scottish independence because they never fail to prove your point for you. Like they hit the nail right on the head and hit themselves with the same fucking hammer at the same time
âWales is too poor for independence!! If they stay in the Union theyâre better supported!!â
âActually, if we managed to set our own rates on exports and managed to take control of our own water supply as well as our agricultural and tourism industry we could actually help a lot of marginalized communities in the west of Wales out of poverty and live in economic prosperity healing our nation and restoring faith in our government with clear leadership and better support for our communities respectively. Itâs only a result of blatant English colonialism and the desecration of our land, resources and impoverishment of our people that we have the lowest GDP out of the UK.â
âAlso, technically no. Now that the UK (as we know it) has decided to pull out of the EU weâre technically without a leg to stand on in regards to a lot of our importation and exportation which helps contribute to the livelihoods and economy of the UK. So if Wales had independence, weâd enter the EU, and begin exporting and importing as a member of the EU, therein boosting our economy further and solidifying Inter-European cooperation.â
âWelsh is a dying language! Thereâs no need for it to be in any curriculum!â
âYouâre incorrect. Over 800,000 people speak Welsh in Wales as well as a small region in Argentina called Patagonia that we colonized. There is actually a revival of Welsh culture and heritage that is happening in the south (The south of Wales is more anglicized) and in in the capital, Cardiff. Even if that was true, which it is not, as there are more parents opting to send their children to Welsh Speaking Schools, the reason for Welsh being perceived as a dead language is a result of English colonialism and the bloody and brutal erasure of Welsh Identity.â
âFurthermore, Welsh history, culture and language SHOULD be taught in all Welsh schools, just as youâd expect Spanish culture, history and language to be taught in Spain. Its a matter of deflection from the English state, avoiding having to deal with their history of brutal Celtic colonization and erasure, that they refuse for it to be on our curriculum.â
Lol the way they treat you as if youâre stupid and you have no leg to stand on like I, a Welsh woman, who has researched my own history, the pros/cons for independence and come to a viable conclusion, knows less about Walesâs status as a country as well as its capacities than some English bloke that doesnât really know shit aside from the whole âindy bad, they shag sheep heheheheâ about my country. whenever I see it I laugh.
In fact, you could replace the word âWelshâ with Scottish or Northern Irish and it would still be entirely valid in its points (aside from a few statistical variables) supporting independence
Fuck Westminister lol
