Don't be a simpleton, this conflict is too complicated for foreigns to completely understand, Spain acted like fascists this Sunday, I agree and I feel deeply ashamed for that, but the referendum is a fucking joke, completely ilegal, absurd and with no guarantees at all, Spain shouldn't be acting with violence but that doesn't mean the country is under fascism or that the government of Catalonia did right, they made this referendum going above its own catalan laws in a completely authoritarian and unilateral way.

Also the independentist movement is now seeing as a victim, so everybody is gonna be on their sides, but in reality this movement is fueled by huge egoism, an elitist way of thinking, a lot of populism, delusional unhealthy nationalism and a shameless manipulation of history, is not something inspiring, Catalonia has always been rich and they don't want to share their money, that's the biggest reason why they want to go, there is nothing romantic about it, they didn't wanted this when Spanish economy was good.

That said, now there's nothing more to do, the PP are fucking incompetents and acted like fascists this Sunday, so now Catalonia will hate Spain forever, now the only solution is to make a true real legal referendum and let them go.
