Never argue with stupid people?

Anonymous

Some people against independence know full well what is really going on.

However some are either too afraid, too lazy or too selfish to want to see anything happen (Change) that they think will change things for them personally.

(But yes some are indeed also either too stupid or/and way too complacent to then be content to remain ignorant of what’s (really) what in respect to Scotland and also the UK ).

They, as doubters who live in Scotland are collectively either:

a) Convinced that things will be worse with Scottish independence (but with many of them having the absolute minimum , if any, knowledge to confirm this as factual)

Or

b) They are too lazy to even care enough to establish the truth , via researching it

Or

Worse they know the truth but prefer to be a Brit than just be a Scot (but state that they are a ‘proud’ Scot , but their actions and words contradict this as a fact)

All of the above continues to be the case while they, as Scottish citizens, have suffered and are still currently suffering because their country, Scotland, is still a part of the UK.

Apparently it seems that you cannot argue with stupid or any of the above types of people .

That is as they , as those who are seemingly impossible to convince about independence, do not want to be presented with knowledge , facts or relevant information as they will argue with anything that you present to them.

Indeed even if you can verify the facts ,as in prove to them, that they , as facts , are true then still many of them will still resist.

As facts and truth , via providing evidence and also good examples, in respect to all (or any) of the very many negatives connected to the UK for Scotland and then the alternate being the many positives , via explaining the true potential and the real possibilities Scotland has in being able to thrive as an independent nation outwith the UK.

Well

We then venture into this territory in that:

“Stupid is knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believing the lies.”

Also

“”NEVER ARGUE WITH STUPID PEOPLE, THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND THEN BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.”

So then how long must we pander to those in Scotland who say they have still to be convinced upon independence?

My lifetime ?

My Children’s lifetime ?

Or , if/when any come, any of my grandchildren’s lifetime ?

As surely most of these independence doubters, either now or in the future, must eventually be convinced of how bad it is being a part of the UK so then what really is it that is holding them back from agreeing to try and see if an independent Scotland could do better for them , and their children/Grandchildren, as a people of (an independent) country.

(That is an independent country that has many more advantages via it’s many resources, most desirable and easy to trade food & drink products etc etc etc compared to some other countries in the world, who do not have a fraction of what Scotland has yet they manage to survive as independent countries).

Perhaps the kind of ‘Scottish exceptionalism’ that both the UK media and UK politicians really are referring to is where somehow they seem to be declaring Scotland to be unique in being the only country in the world to be incapable of ever being independent .

While that same UK expect Scotland to continue to provide their UK treasury with financial benefits that are sourced from our Scottish resources and also via our very much desired, by others , quality food and drink products being traded with other countries in the world which are then also to the benefit of their UK Treasury.

Perhaps we need more education upon Scotland as a country within our schools .

We also desperately need our own media behaving like a media and not as clients of those political parties opposed to independence and also opposed to those parties and members of the public who support it , independence.

If only.

  1. I’ve posted this to my pro-Indy/SNP Page on Facebook. A friend made a comment which I couldn’t put better ….

    “The role of the British so-called “news” media in influencing how people see Scotland and the UK, and how it maintains and actively cultivates myths and disinformation about Scotland and independence needs to be appreciated. It is a very powerful force, and most folk don’t realise how much they are manipulated by it.”

    The above reads like gobbledygook. (perhaps not the only bit in my comment either Ha Ha)

    So it may have been better if I had just said –

    ‘Giving facts , truths , providing evidence and good examples for all of the things that are negative connected with the UK for Scotland as a country’ .

    ‘Then using the same process in also showing the alternative as in all of the positives for a future independent Scotland’.

    ‘The true potential and wealth of Scotland as a (independent) country would see our country flourish and prosper compared to many of the existing independent countries that are now outwith the UK’.

  3. I’ve come across people like those and I ask them 2 questions.

    1 How can you possibly KNOW you are a majority without a referendum.

    2 Why are you SO sure you are right and I am wrong.

    I’ve not had one answer to either question.

  4. The media, owned and controlled by the rich and powerful, based in England and abroad, (even the ‘Scottish’ daily rags are headquartered outwith Scotland) will never be on the side of independence for Scotland, it’s just not in their interests.
    I was thinking the other day, why do we have daily disinformation rags staring us in the face on the shop shelves, using the name Scottish, or Scotland when they anything but.
    STV is not Scottish nor is BBC Scotland. Is there a BBC England? Or an English Daily Mail?
    The fact they use Scotland’s name is such a ruse, a huge con.
    SNP need some very clever folk to put together some slogans, and to get some clear as day information about the failings of the English government and compare England with Scotland on policies protecting the most vulnerable and mitigating English government cuts. Cut the cr*p calling it the ‘UK’, people need to see and hear about the disaster that is England’s government and their jobsworths operating within Scotland, where no actual Labour party exists, they are fake, conning people.
    I read that the UN would not consider Scotland a colony because there are Scottish MPs in Westminster. Some people say SNP MPs should not sit in WM but that would leave plenty others taking lots of dosh from the public purse to sit there, mostly Labour now, but not actually being representative of the country of Scotland, as the parties they work for, are registered in England. There’s a square to circled there somewhere?
