I can’t really explain how funny some of the news are, really. Everyday there are WTF news coming from Catalonia. Some of the nationalists are ashamed by their politicians, ad recognize that this has been a big disaster, but it’s now always the case. As I said, we are talking about a delusional movement that claims to be the oldest nation in the World. Some of their leaders believe (create the theories of) Shakespeare to be the same person than Cervantes, that Leonardo Da Vinci was Catalan, and other crazy stuff.

The problem, again, even though it’s pretty obvious that there was been mass indoctrination and manipulation, and that have been blatantly lied by their leaders, reality doesn’t affect the great majority of the secessionists…
They didn’t have the follow-through. This particular revolution is over. But that doesn’t doesn’t mean the larger struggle is over. Freedom is not for the weak, but subjugation is not for the strong. Rebellions often come in clusters. The first one fails through the fecklessness of its leaders. The second one does a good deal better.
So I should declare myself an “Antinazi”, which would give me the ultimate moral power…
I could go around setting kitties on fire, and people would be like:
“Wtf is he doing! He set a homeless cat on fire!”
“Yeah sure, but he’s an Antinazi, he must have had his reasons, who are we to judge?”
“Those nazi cats, man…”
“I hate Illinois Nazi cats”
If I’m not mistaken, the pro independence has had again around a 50% of the electors’ support. Which is a lot, but justifies nothing. Also the most voted party is C’s, which is the most anti independence party ever.
However, because of how we break down and weight the different areas, in number of chamber representers they’ve gotten 70 vs 65, so yes, they have a majority.
Also, we are waiting for Puigdemont to come back to Spain and go to trial and jail
Based on the brief description of each party in its own article, it seems that the 1st, 4th and 7th ranking parties are all anti-independence and the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th ranking parties pro-independence. (This is for both the popular vote and the number of seats.)
If this is correct, the total pro-independence vote rounds up to 55%, and the total anti-independence vote rounds down to 43%.
