I always loved Scotland. Since the first day I had set foot into Glasgow, I wanted to live there and I did realise that dream a few years later.
After a couple of years in different EU countries, I am currently organising my permanent return to Glasgow.
Walking around the city's George Square this morning, I noticed that a second referendum on Scottish independence apparently is a thing in the reality of at least a lost few. People stood around with Scottish flags and banners saying "Hope over Fear", "Independence Now" and "IndyRef2" and some of them just displayed blue and white unicorns. Inflatable pink flamingos had "No More Tory Rule" written on them.
I have also always loved everything about freedom and independence. Therefore, the first time the Scots held an independence referendum in 2014, I had fully supported it. Not having lived in Scotland at the time, however, I was merely a spectator from far away. In hindsight I am glad that I didn't have the opportunity to vote back then, because all I did was daydreaming, hearing the word INDEPENDENCE. Little did I know at the time what independence actually meant and it surely is not what those people on George Square are advocating.
What they want isn't actual independence - it is a new slave master they're after, because they are bored of the old one.
Independence does not mean choosing one slave master over the other. Independence means being self-reliant and taking 100% responsibility for your own life and this has never been done by giving your power away to other people.
They did that in the first referendum and when it failed everyone started pointing fingers, blaming one another for having a different stupid political opinion. Then the same scenario repeated itself after the Brexit vote in 2016 on a UK level. Many of those who got the result they actually wanted changed their opinion afterwards, because they had been misinformed by the tories, by UKIP, by Mickey Mouse and the pope. It was everyone's fault but their own.
Obviously the poor victims didn't have the choice to make their own informed decision before voting.
If you subscribe to and advocate mob rule, then you cannot complain afterwards if you don't get the result you want and simply request a new referendum over and over again until you finally get your desired outcome. If you didn't notice yet, having us run in circles is the whole point of democracy.
A decision was made in the first Scottish independence as well as in the Brexit referendum - the most direct form of democracy.
Deal with it or stop advocating it!
