    Speratists? What? Not wanting to be part of the USSR or even russia (like Chechnya tried to liberate itself from russian degeneracy) is not “seperatism”, it’s wanting to be free and engaging in your own culture.

      That is the definition of separatism.

      Wikipedia says:

      Separatism is the advocacy of cultural, ethnic, tribal, religious, racial, regional, governmental, or gender separation from the larger group. As with secession, separatism conventionally refers to full political separation.

      You’re specifically talking about cultural separatism, which overlaps with ethnic separatism and is the most common kind.

        So India was engaging in separatism from the UK in 1947?

        No one is buying your attempts at pointless pedantry.

          Yes, although it’s usually termed “the British Empire” in this context. Separatism isn’t really a disparaging term.

          No one is buying your attempts at pointless pedantry.

          I would gladly discuss anything else you bring up.
