How can a country intrude into its own territory? These separatists need to be put in their places.
So let me get this straight, a group of people overwhelmingly wish to separate, and the government tries to prevent them from doing that, and you don't think that's imperialism? I bet you don't feel the same about separatism in Catalonia, Donbas, Kurdistan, or the Zapatistas. Classic tankie logic: imperialism good when done by purported "communists."
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.
Germanic migrants were doing imperialism in Wales, you heard it here first folks
Yes fucking genius.
