So tonight I've noticed an interesting pattern relating to #BothVotesSNP that's worth flagging.

I've spotted several, apparently fake pro-SNP accounts, all based outside of Scotland, all using weird language. Buckle up...

Thread 👇
Here's 'Noah' in London. 'Noah' advocating a 'savior [sic] leader'? Really? Doesn't that language seem odd to any reasonable person?
But wait, there's more: here's Monica, a London based socialist advocating for #BothVotesSNP

"make your destiny" - Really?
And here is, er, 'Dawn' or possibly Jack in Cambridge, also advocating #BothVotesSNP

"Don't let anyone interfere your decisions!" - Really?
And 'David' in Wales really getting behind #BothVotesSNP

I'm starting to read these in Borat's voice.
And 'Michelle' in Birmingham. She likes #BothVotesSNP too.

"Vote #SNP for supporting Scotland's independence." This doesn't sound like a native English speaker.
And finally 'Flora' in Bristol.

Make brighter outlook for your country! Very nice!
Now, can anyone explain to me why several apparently fake accounts outside of Scotland would advocate for SNP/SNP? Bearing in mind that AMS, and the pro-independence benefits of voting SNP/Alba have been explained widely now.

It reeks of #77thBrigade or some similar unit.
So tell me this; what does that tell you about #BothVotesSNP?

Do you trust these fake accounts over the widely shared electoral evidence offered by people you've followed for years?
These keep on coming.

"For gaining this exalted aim #voteSNP on May 6"

This isn't a native English speaker. I'm pretty confident of that.

Every independence supporter needs to understand that the british state spent every single one of its lies in 2014. They have nothing to threaten or to offer Scotland.

Their only credible strategy is to run Scotland into the ground whilst fragmenting the independence movement.
For the hard of thinking: Nicola Sturgeon is a traitor to the Scottish independence movement.

1) Conspired against Salmond.
2) Failed to stop/react to Brexit
3) Pivoted from Scotref to 'stop Brexit in England' to 'You're not an indy supporter unless you believe in trans magic.'
4) Left the SNP in financial and political disarray, promoting perverts and rainbow flag shagging simpletons.

I used to think she was compromised. If she was, she'd have come out long ago.

What's irritating is how desperately slow many are at joining the fairly obvious dots.

"As long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours, that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
This is, in my opinion, the single most important paragraph in Scotland's history. If all Scots read this quote, and remember what our ancestors swore; we have won. This is the foundation stone of Scotland's constitution.
The Declaration of Arbroath was not an appeal to the English Crown, who had attempted to assert overlordship status for decades. It was to the Pope himself. He listened. Our status was conferred and eventually accepted. Scotland exists. We have for well over a thousand years.

All the No voters of Scotland breathe a big sigh of relief. I can picture them all telling themselves something like:
'The UK will NEVER have a worse PM than Boris Johnson, but he'd still be better than an independent Scotland. I can say this because I'm just as Scottish as you.'
It's worth reminding ourselves that, clearly, most No voters lack basic political intuition and general critical thinking skills.

They aren't skilled or meritorious opponents. They have an infantile attachment to denying accountability and responsibility for Scotland.
Some people might think tweets like this are unhelpful. I'd disagree. The truth is rarely unhelpful, and if a No voter is reminded that Scotland's subjugation is ENTIRELY their fault and their 'Scotland's just worse because' assertions are embarrassing, that must be a good thing.

Has everyone else noticed how the usual british lickspittles are desperately trying to rehash the same arguments from 2014? If anything shows their intellectual and analytical limitations, it's that.

They can't deal with Brexit, they can't defend Johnson & have no future vision.
The background No campaign is run by 'grass roots' organisations like 'These Islands' which largely comprises of people who don't live in Scotland. It's really quite odd. I suppose the intention is that we aren't allowed to call them out without being branded racist, it's absurd.
Kevin Hague, a dog food vendor by trade, spends his time confecting meek sophistry using selective data, on the pretence that he is offering a substantive debate. He never deals with the effect of Brexit, just that Scotland struggles and always will. A strange advert for the UK.

Anglo 'progressives' appear to have convinced themselves that Boris Johnson is the architect of british corruption.

Wrong.

He's just brazenly dysfunctional/corrupt & Westminster has been unchained by the Brexit that THEY INFLICTED UPON US, that they can no longer hide it.
They never blame the system.
They never accept responsibility.

Because their 'elite' culture is predicated on worshiping a bunch of inbred mafioso deviants, the matriarch of which is about to expire & this presents them with existential dread.
Like a cult losing its dear leader.
National anthem? About the Queen.
All politicians and institutions? Swear loyalty to the Queen.
The Armed Forces? Serve the Queen.
Their state religion? Worships the Queen.

Yet none of them acknowledge how, objectively, this is a personality CULT protecting a family of criminals

Who are the major Scottish commentators who live in England, who make a living incessantly pointing out how dysfunctional, economically illiterate and culturally/politically incestuous the Westminster system and its appendages are?

Oh, right, that simply doesn't happen.
UK debt has nearly doubled in just over 7 years, its head of state is an ailing 95 year old, whose successor once fantasised about reincarnated as a tampon, its PM is a dysfunctional & disassociated man-child.

How could anything be wrong? Is it the Russians or some other rotter?
The 'progressives' we see on british TV almost always went to private school, then Oxbridge. Their political views are a contrived act of rebellion. They fixate on irrelevancies, individuals & anything but what matters; the system itself.
The curse of Anglocentric exceptionalism.
