Fair question.
When an 'inclusive' movement includes people like this, you can count me out.
When blood and soil ethno-nationalists are marching with your supposedly 'civic' marches, your nationalism doesn't look too different to any other country's.
Nor does this kind of talk, from a self-proclaimed Scottish nationalist, quite square with the proud boast that 'our' nationalism is purer and better.
Happy to take your word for it that such people aren't representative of the entire movement. Happy to accept that the bulging folder of xenophobic and anglophobic screenshots I have on my laptop aren't the whole story.
But some of us are getting mighty tired of Scottish nationalist insistence that their nationalism is nothing like the other, nasty kinds, in the face of considerable evidence to the contrary.
‘My opponent merely represents a different kind of nationalism’. ‘Everyone is some kind of nationalist.’ Millions of people subscribe to ideologies that don’t conflate their national and political identities. I’m one of them.
If I follow your argument correctly, you're saying that if certain people I don't agree with behave deplorably, the things I'm saying about another group of people I don't agree with cannot possibly be true.
