On Scottish Nationalism
February 19, 2023/2 Comments/in General/by Sam Dickson
Re the Quilette article “A Demagogue Departs,” the author overlooks one reason for the success of Scottish nationalism and the Scottish Nationalist Party, to-wit: the fact is that Scottish nationalism (unlike, say, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Russian nationalism) is supported by the worst elements of the international globalist establishment. The SNP is rumoured (probably correctly) to have enjoyed the covert support of the Soviet Union before the fall of Communism, as was the case with the IRA. The SNP was not and is not a movement of romantic Jacobites just as the marxist IRA is not a “Catholic” movement but a marxist movement replete with its own “Republican funeral” services from which God is banned. The SNP was run by Marxists as I witnessed several decades ago when several of its representatives paid a visit to Atlanta, Georgia, to chat up locals who think they are Scottish. The “Bonnie Prince Charlie” fans met up instead with a set of gritty anti-monarchical Marxists, an encounter that ought to start even the most atrophied brain thinking. The SNP is a way to undermine not only Britain at home but Anglo-Saxons (and the majority of Scots are Lowlanders who have been speaking English since the seventh or eighth centuries) everywhere. For this reason it is adored and glowingly reported on in the pages of The NY Times.
By carrying on about now utterly irrelevant “issues” arising from things like the Battle of Culloden, the SNP has served the interests of non-European aliens by picking at the scabs of family feuds that have not the slightest relevance to the present problems facing European people in Scotland and throughout the globe. Naturally, the enemies of our religion, race, culture and civilization would want to encourage “Scottish” Nationalism especially in the form of a party that wants to welcome Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Nigerians to Scotland but wallows in hatred of the English whom the party wants expelled. Some “nationalism” that is! Like most Americans whose family has been here for several centuries,
I am something of a “mutt” in terms of European heritage…Scottish, English, German and French in that order. But Scottish is my largest component by far and I grew up in the Church of Scotland. As a bastardized child of the Diaspora I cannot speak for real present day Scots but I can speak for myself when I say that I am not keen on Scottish nationalism. Period. I do not want to consign Milton and Shakespeare to alien status while colonizing Scotland (and America and Europe) with Third World settlers. And I certainly wish people in the Auld Country would scorn this preposterous thing calling itself “the Scottish Nationalist Party” which is determined to replace the people of Scotland with non-European aliens.
