The main Anglo-colonial argument against Scottish independence appears to be & #39;We& #39;ve already taken your oil and sold off your land; it& #39;s too late, you& #39;re not financially strong enough to survive.& #39; - It& #39;s a baffling mix of racism, abuse and misguided supremacism.
A Scot who supports independence does so because they & #39;hate& #39; English people, apparently. These English people who both stole of our resources (because they were limited and worthless) but have also subsidised & protected Scotland, & will do so regardless of our consent. Bizzare.
I& #39;ve often asked the colonists why, if the above drivel was true, that no rUK MP has ever suggested ejecting Scotland from the UK.
I& #39;ve gotten scant replies; one was effectively & #39;Keep your enemies closer& #39; which I think gives an insight into their paranoid sense of entitlement.

The & #39;Anti-English& #39; trope is so ingrained that it goes unchallenged, & I suspect that& #39;s its purpose.
Independence is inherently normal, Westminster is a cesspit of political incest & entitlement. So everything is done to distract & delegitimise our motivations. There& #39;s a pattern.

& #39;You would be in a bigger mess because of Covid-19 without us!& #39; says citizen of the country with the highest death toll in Europe.
These people have absolutely no knowledge of the gilt markets, international finance, etc.
It& #39;s just & #39;England, England Uber Alles& #39;, as instructed.

The absolute last thing a Brit wants is a serious discussion about why, in their minds, Scotland is still financially & #39;hopeless& #39; with the largest oil reserves in Europe & after 300 + years of union. The inference is that Scots are inherently inferior & incapable. It& #39;s racism.
Oddly, many brits seem to be nearly championing Scotland& #39;s care home deaths with dodgy statistics & misplaced blame.
That& #39;s a main part of their electoral base being whittled away & their cheering. Why? Because they don& #39;t know anything about Scotland... yet should & #39;control& #39; us.

They also need to have an inferior & #39;other& #39; to measure themselves against. You can see their cultural insecurity typically expressed through their shameless WW2 fetish. The UK may have the highest death toll in Europe & a likely alcoholic as PM, but they& #39;re still BETTER THAN JOCKS
They can also disguise their arguments; & #39;I hate nationalism& #39; - Apparently british isolation is fine, even if its against Scotland& #39;s will, but our independence is & #39;built on hate& #39; - Like Narcissus, they can& #39;t see past their own reflection, their own contempt for other cultures.
