Watching the referendum in #Catalonia, I'm of several minds.
On the one hand, Spain shouldn't be repressing the referendum by force; acknowledging the result is a different matter.
Also, the Catalonia separatist movement goes back a long, long time, and has its roots in imperialism.
On the other hand, a major reason Catalonia wants to secede is that they're Spain's 1% and don't want to have to pay taxes to support the 99% in the rest of Spain.
@noelle Keep your thoughts coming. I need more context here. I'm a dumb american leftist.
