I increasingly believe, living in a world that is increasingly polarized between opposite groups with their own sets of truths and morals and unyielding in their points of view, that every reasonable effort for secession and self-determination should be supported.

For me it's like the next step on a sort-of utilitarian progress of human political systems: from big authoritarian empires encompassing different cultures to small democracies based on nationality but where the strongest group still imposes their views, to even smaller groups of peoples sharing a similar mindset.

It must be noticed that more often than not these states as we know them today are basically the same authoritarian superstructures of old, only softer and lighter, as politicians representing the best interests of certain groups, and have their power coming from the so-called democratic vote, took over. They are still essentially a tool of aggression who doesn't represents its people, as some would like to believe, but actively feeds off these people for the furthering of its own interests, like an immense parasite, and the reasons governments are quick to oppose secession.
