North Italy wants independance because they don't want to pay for the poorer southerners anymore >"Unacceptable! Those fascist selfish padanians are puting in danger the cohesion of Italy just for money."
Catalunya wants independance because they don't want to pay for the poorer southerners anymore >"Every people have a right to self-determination, why should they stay in the union if they don't want to ?"
literally no one is saying Catalonia can be independent.
Easton Baker
Because they are right.
Isaac Diaz
I've never heard anyone call northern Italian separatists fascists but generally the anti-separatism talks come from EU shills and officials
Joshua Johnson
A lot of mainstream medias all over the world support their choice to self-determination.
Jordan Rivera
the difference is that north italian isn't an identity and therefore there is no self-determination in separating from the rest of Italy, it is only a cash grab

imagine if you lived in St Petersburg and I lived in Lisbon with absolutely nothing in between and every government policy was focused entirely on serving the benefit of Lisbon
Jaxson Wilson
Hasn't it actually been a kingdom for centuries, while Catalonia was never independent (the latter argument I hear often from unionist side)?
Wyatt Collins
That's just an argument for having each region as an independent country instead of just "padania"

>was focused entirely on serving the benefit of Lisbon Western Australia, like Tasmania, South Australia and the NT has been subsidised by the rest of the states for most of their history.
>But it is new territory for Western Australia. Up to WWII it was the poor, white trash of Australia. And once the Federal Government took over income tax in 1942, and massively increased the disbursement of revenue to the states, WA has for most of that time received more than its "fair share":

>before the mining industry took off the mining state was not booming hmm made me think
WA wasn't actually meant to be in the federation, we actually wanted to be an independent country like New Zealand. It was only because Victoria experienced a fucking huge depression just we ended up joining. Huge numbers of Victorians moved over to WA, since the gold rush had just started here, and they all obviously wanted to federate with Victoria
