Catalan society is diverse but divided along ethnic/class lines. Less than half support independence, but they wield economic&politic power.
If less than half support independence (& you don’t), that’s awesome! Let them have their referendum, let them lose, have a party!
It is not possible to do it lawfully without amending the constitution first, which would require a referendum in all of Spain.
So the Cat gov are doing it outside the law. When governments don't follow basic laws, that's not civil disobedience, that's abuse of power.
In this case, I'm not sure it'd be a solution. A yes/no referendum in a divided society only divides it further. What's needed is consensus.
Finally: should a group in a democratic society be able to curtail the fundamental rights of others? Can my neighbours make me a foreigner?
Good question. I take issue with the primary underlying assumption that birthplace should determine special privileges to begin with.
If there is Assange and RT on one side, I know the side I'm on w/o any other details
