What is /pol/'s view on Scotland?
>>73918002
Largely commie leeches. Nice scenery and weather though.
I'm worried desu.
Some people on /pol/ may shit on Scotland and call them porridge wogs but at the end of the day it's all for a laugh and we're actually concerned and fearful of what may happen to them in the near future.
nogunz shithole, it's not wonder my great-grandfather got the hell out of there

History's biggest losers
Motherfuckers bitch and complain all day about wanting independence, than they get a chance given to them on a silver platter and then they decide against it. Holy fuck get your priorities straight.
Also off topic, Northern Ireland is the best part of the United Kingdom.
Brothers.
1 party state isn't democratically healthy.
Also wtf is the deal with this named person policy?

They have plenty of land, undercrowded, 95% white, subsidised heavily by the English tax payer and they get to decide all their local laws and shit.
But we're still Tyrants for some reason.
I hope they get another vote on independence so we can be rid of the leftists.
>>73919861
1 party state because they have have made a majority Scottish government once in 2011. Hurdurhurdur what a retard.
The SNP get wide support because they are the only mainstream party that believably supports devolution. If 45% of Scotland wants independence you can be sure that over 50% want vastly increased devolution. The sooner that is done and dealt with the sooner people will vote for other parties.
The SNP is a vehicle, not a destination.
I can't wait for them to get out of our politics.

disagree at the moment, but it could become one if the ideals of the people keep being misrepresented at a parliamentary level.
That, though, isn't a fault of the democratic process, but more due to the fact that most Scots don't care about politics at all, but have a lot of pride in their country (which is, in my view a good thing) and are thus misled into voting for the SNP despite the fact that their left-wing policies do not represent the people's generally right-wing attitude.
Having immense pride in your country is not the same as wanting independence. Geordies have invested pride in Tyneside, that doesn't mean they want to see an independent Northumberland.

>>73922122
Ask any modern Scot what their political beliefs are, he would most certainly say:
>"I do not give to shits."
And will vote SNP only because of the fact they claim they are proud Scots. Misleading them.
This is what I hate, they either vote SNP because "Muh Pride" or they don't vote at all. You know your shit my man.

>>73922122
This.
A large portion of of the SNP's voters only voted for them because they are called the Scottish National Party, yet they offer no real benefit to Scottish Nationalism and want to hand over the powers they fought hard for to the EU.
The SNP would easily lose their majority in the Scottish Assembly if another party could take away their Nationalism card. Its just unfortunate that nobody could do it.
>>73918002
Absolute cucks, voting for the commie SNP. They deserve the worst.

I think he meant Scottish contributions in the post-modern age. In a way we are a lot like Greece. Socialist and subsidised by a larger body. Just replace the EU with the UK treasury.
The attitude of /pol/ to Scotland, and of the average Scottish poster on /pol/, is one of cognitive dissonance.
It is self evident that the /pol/ hive mind in general is strongly in favour of tradition, history, and the strong defense of nationhood.
And yet when these same first principles for national pride are applied to the Scottish case, posters such as >>73922466 and >>73922122 perform mental gymnastics worthy of Olga Corbett to justify their illogical exclusion of Scotland from Nationhood.
Cum On Die Young.
>>73923125
can't disagree
>>73922466
Exactly.
I do have confidence in my countrymen that we will once more, vote to stay in Britain should we leave the EU, considering the only arguments they had for independence last time was Sealclubber Salmond smiling jovially and repeating "but they'd be OUR mistakes" and muh oil, the price of which has since plummeted.
One advantage of Scots having no political views is that they are ridiculously easy to sway politically, I've been doing my best to alter people's existing opinions as often as I can, and I've been pretty successful so far. I implore all you fellow Scotsmen to try the same.
>>73918002
I'm really concerned for Scotland's future.
There in no voter base in the world as ignorant to their own party's politics than Scottish SNP voters.
It could very easily become the world quickest self destructing nation if the commie SNP ever get control of important issues like immigration.

If Scotland had a chance at surviving independently, I might be inclined to give it a shot. As it is, though, we don't.
Besides which, we have so many ties to the English and Welsh and even the Irish, that I don't see why a political union such as ours is is such a bad thing.
And we did, after all, conquer the world together.
>>73923530
People go there and share instances of extreme over-reaching from officials, hoping to share their outrage. They quickly learn that the ScotCucks will defend the horror show examples they've been shown.

Most of Glasgow's fine, 2bh. And even despite the higher brown population, it's still better than living in Dumpdee :^)
that said, if you're in a bad area of Glasgow, it's really, really bad.
I used to live in Scotland.
The people are mostly sheep, they are told what to think and therefore adopt those ideas. e.g. Thatcher was the worst! We are all super into the EU and shit! We're so progressive compared to England! Muh per capita!
The society is largely degenerate. Most people under 30 live solely to go out drinking on the weekends. They're all stick in that high-school popularity mentality.
The 60s/70s/80s pretty much ruined Scotland's architecture. Who was in charge of city planning then? Please find his grave and spit on it. Newer buildings are pretty nice though.
It definitely has a bright future in my opinion. It first should try to fix its degeneracy problem then go from there.
>>73921779
>heavily
'no'
up until the oil prices dropped, we did make more money than we spent. nowadays, not so much, we are subsidised but comparitively when looked at alongside other parts of the UK, mainly northern England, Wales and Northern Irleand we are more self sustaining.
Let's face it, the only part of the UK actually generating income is the south of England.
>>73923695
This isn't Scotland's fault, its the SNP. At every election more people have voted against the SNP, but their vote is split between Labour, Conservatives, UKIP etc, so the SNP retains its majority in Parliament and continues to waste money on bullshit. A large chunk of the SNPs voter base vote them because they have Nationalism in the name.
If someone was to make a Moderate-Nationalist party in Scotland they could easily take a huge chunk of the SNP's voter base, and could potentially move on to becoming largest party. As I said above the majority of the SNPs voters don't agree with their liberal stance on many issues, they only vote them because they're the only Nationalist party in Scotland.
>>73923530
I hate those cunts so much. They are so few -a small protest in Aberdeen only turned 2 commie bull dykes- but they are so loud.
I miss my time at school before the massive influx of Cucks. I would make casual racist jokes with the rest of your mates about that one token black kid you are friends with. You would laugh and shout at the bull dykes and gays. During the Winter, that one gay kid would be pelted with snowballs and forced to the ground and covered with snow. I would constantly get into scraps and little fuck abouts. I used to think my School time was depressing but now that I think about it, it was so based...

This is one of the posts on /r/Scotland today.
The board was like 'nothing wrong with this'.
The whole of the UK PLC outside of Londonistan is fucked, and the further you go from London the worse the infrastructure and lower the investment in decent facilities, education, and housing.
Over generations, this has an effect. Its not just Scotland that is affected by London's greed for investment in itself, but all of the regions outside of London.
The Scottish saw an opportunity to end this imbalance of revenue with regards to quid pro quo investment, particularly in the boom years, and 45% found this to be worthy proposition..
I would imagine that many of the English regions, given the same referendum, would return similar results.

Yes.
You need a True Nationalist Scottish party dedicated to pointing out how destructive and anti-Scot the SNP and the EU is.
Give people a true alternative.
The left vote is already badly split between the Greens (Reds), Labour (Leninists) and the commie SNP.
Take away the true Nationalist vote from the SNP and you can make a dent in Scottish politics.

Edinburgh is a nice city desu, the southern uplands, St Andrews and Perth are pretty too.
>>73924450
Not necessarily.
It would have to start out as a moderate party to win over Conservative, SNP, and Labour voters to secure a foothold in the Scottish Parliament. Once the foothold had been established and we began building a larger following we could slowly start moving towards the right-wing and mirroring some of UKIPs better policies.

The SNP without the Nationalist vote/card would be about the same size as Scottish Labour Party.
You'd only really need 3 policies to win majority of voters in Scotland;
1. Cut taxes on the middle and lower classes, increase taxes on the upper class.
2. Reform secondary education (Assist those who don't want to go to Uni more)
3. Cut spending government spending in bullshit places.

Glasgow may be a cesspit of cuckery but it still possesses some exceptional architecture and museums.
>>73925579
City chambers and its roundabouts has very nice architecture. A lot of baronial imperial buildings. There's a restaurant there I was at very recently based in the offices of an old ship line between Glasgow and New York, 'The Anchor Line'. It was very nice indeed. There is nice gothic architecture around Glasgow uni too. It's not all bad but Glasgow has quite a large divide when you compare places like i have just described with deprived areas such as Easterhouse or Calton (which has a lower life expectancy than the bloody Gaza Strip).

Well as a Scot I often despair. There are a LOT of fucking idiots in this country. Sure those are everywhere but it seems here in particular. Maybe that's just because I actually have to talk to these fuckers.
I have actually had on multiple occasions people make to me the argument from independence voters that the EU (which the plan would be to join post independence) doesn't matter because "Well we're already part of the EU so what difference would it make".
Absolute brain dead morons.
I wouldn't mind so much if they had any kind of coherence to their reasoning, but as far as I can tell it's all a fucking shambles of Braveheart memes.
