The way I see it there are six unionist and brexiteer arguments against Scottish independence. Let's debunk them one by one.
1. ThE wILL oF tHE ScOtTisH pEoPlE wAs sEtTlLeD iN 2014

Yes, because democracy is static dependent on one snapshot of public opinion based on lies & broken promises

Let's just ignore the SNP polling well above 50% & 17 polls in a row for Yes that are approaching a 60% majority.
2. YoU'rE tOo PoOr FoR iNdEpEnDeNcE

Scotland's in the top 20 GDP per capita nations in the world, above the economic powerhouses of France & Japan

If Scotland can't afford indy neither can the 176 countries in the world with far fewer natural resources that are poorer than us.
3. YoU jUsT wAnT iNdEpEnDeNcE bEcAuSe YoU hAtE tHE EnGLiSh. WeStMiNsTeR iS jUsT cOdE fOr EnGlAnD

A bottom of the barrel licking argument for morons

Westminster means Westminster.

50+ countries have gained independence from the UK since WW2 & none of them have asked to rejoin.
4. 60% oF yOuR tRaDe iS wItH EnGlAnD

Insinuating trade between an iScotland & England will cease is insane.

As we all know it is impossible for independent countries to trade with each other without being in political union. See US/Canada for proof 😂

5. YoU wOn'T hAvE a CuRrEnCy

Again, we all know how impossible it is to setup a new currency and central bank as evidenced by every single country in the world that have their own currency & central bank.

We're not allowed to use the £ for transition period because...reasons.
6. ThE Eu DoN't WaNt YoU

Yeah, the EU will knock back a country with a healthy trade surplus & GDP = 5 full members COMBINED & the largest reserves of O&G on the continent in a strategically important location in the North Atlantic. +25% of Europe's tidal/wave energy potential
How would we survive without being ruled by a UK government (Tory or Labour) that allows us to be the world capital of tax evasion? £20+ TRILLION of untaxed wealth hidden in UK controlled tax havens. 50% of the global total.

If we were skint after the Darien how come we instantly started servicing English debt (accrued by endless wars with Europeans).

There's a brexit joke in there somewhere.
For the hard of thinking:

The Darien Scheme bankrupted individual rich nobles, not the country.

That's why they were so easy to blackmail, bribe and threaten.

99% of Scots who didn't get a say were outraged. Then we were cut off from our biggest trading partner (the French) because England was at war with them.
