            “Wow denmark’s doing a good thing I hope others follow”

            “Reee what about completely unrelated bad things Spain has done”

            Why would anyone even bother arguing with that, engaging further with you wastes everyone’s time

          There are some nations in europe that attempt self-determination, without any recognition. For example catalonia had close to 50% support, but europe looked the other way; even after trying to organize a referendum on their own, being repressed with excessive violence and ending up with political prisoners, europe looked the other way.

              Nothing, and that’s fine. I don’t know if it’s because of fanaticism with the topic or what, but it seems strange to me that people get upset about this.

              But to try to clarify it better, the other user says that self-determination is one of the values of europe (to fight for), hence my comment.
