I'm sure that you can also see that calling inhabitants of a different nation 'Nationalists' because they don't want to continue to be affiliated to your own is a bit like France berating Belgium for thinking that it might just prefer not to be French or indeed, casually assuming that any other country (such as Scotland) with a historically distinct and homogenous population spanning over a millennia and a half just love having their political preferences, economic and social needs completely ignored generation after generation...
Unless of course, you subscribe to Fox's erudite view that places Scotland in the same category as Shropshire.

I can see what fox is getting at here. There seems to be a lot prior chat weighing in on opinions but I agree the nationalism is divisive and frankly leaves a load of people behind. I'm from the forgotten bit of England between Newcastle and Scotland. I'm not Scottish and can't identify as such, but largely agree with how the Scots feel about tories/Westminster, and it can be really frustrating being divided by that imaginary line.
I don't really know anything about the technicalities of nationalism or who Wittgenstein is though.
