m0e_tv Alright.
Listen close. and listen hard.
NBC is the most trusted news network in your country.
Second of all, "El Pais" is a right wing propoganda newspaper headquartered in Madrid. (that's why you think this anti-Catalunya garbage is true, stop reading lies)
Spanish Civil War, yes, please tell me how Madrid are the good guys in any way. Catalunya has been oppressed since before that event, so why tf would you ever bring that up in an argument about secession.
If you hate Catalonia that much, why are worried about Catalan "economic shrinkage"?
Because you are scared, that if Catalonia, filled with blue-collar workers, will have the right to a vote in a country once again, and oust you Monarch loving, out of touch, old money, Madridenos out of your trillions of tax dollars made off of the hard working backs of poor Catalans.
Economics you say.
How about having a GDP higher than many countries as only an underrepresented part of Spain.
You are lost, and angry at Catalonia for not what may happen, but for what will happen.
Secession is imminent, and the monarchy you adore set up by a ruthless dictator will collapse in front of your eyes.
Threats, then reparations are all Madrid has left.
Next comes Catalan revolution.
LOL if you ACTUALLY think el pais is right wing you're a fucking moron holy shit, they arose after franco's death and supported the spanish socialist workers party and was most vociferous critics of spain's involvement in the 2003 Iraq war. and wtf are you literally talking about bringing up madrid when I referenced the spanish civil war, that's not what i'm referring to, MY entire paternal heritage line is basque (this is like the 3rd time I'm clearly stating basque culture and you go on to call me a monarch lover lol literally wtf how stupid are you), a region and culture in the north of people who REALLY faced oppression during francos fascist regime, they were bombed, imprisoned for speaking their own language and embracing anything basque, and are very well known for their far left/progressive ideology and independence movement who fought facist and franco's oppression as militias during the spanish civil war (one of them being my great grandfather) so why the fuck would I ever "go on /pol/" as you keep claiming and read right wing biased media sources. you're a brainlet jesus. I'm from donostia in euskadi not madrid you retard idk why you keep implying i'm a madrileno, a big reason of why their gdp is that high is because half their trade export and business's are within the spanish market which they will face massive boycott, business's and workers refusing to migrate with the rest of catalunya, and have to use tons of resources to pay for basic state structures as a new nation such as central banks, embassies etc etc etc on top of facing economic impact and losing the privilege of being in the european union which will all together take a toll on their economic status. It's not about "being scared" stop making childish dumbass remarks its about avoiding economic impact during recession for both spain and catalunya, if they wanna leave they could go for all I care, but the big concern is about the economic impact both will face and the lies and propaganda that is being spread from pro separatist and puigdemont. how are you this clueless to understanding the basic economics on how it would effect both sides negatively. I'm under the impression you have never even stepped foot in spain yet you think you know what you're talking about, you can't understand a dynamic without experiencing it first hand
