Two layers of electrified, barbed wire, with armed guards to keep a colony secure. Colonialism has never actually ended

Northern Ireland has been thoroughly colonized by the British. It was established in such a way that it would be large enough to make the unionists dominant. Letting the northern Irish decide whether to remain British or Irish will lead to them choosing British, because many are the descendants of British colonisers and still benefit from British colonialism today.

So why should a colonising population be allowed to decide which state they belong to? Would it be fair for the American settlers to decide whether the land they conquered was native or American? Why should the colonisers be allowed to decide the fate of the colonised people's country?

As i fucking said. I know about Spain, not NI.

Literally no one outside of this thread (filled with people who have just find out these cities exist) wants Melilla and Ceuta to join Morocco. Not the spanish leftists, not the people from the cities themselves, and not Morocco.

Hell, listen to what the locals say instead of trying to bring anglo politics into everything.

“The locals” aka the people residing in the privileged, heavily fortified zones excluding millions of people? Haha sure. Let’s listen to what the Israeli sellers have to say about Palestine too!

Lmao, priviledged???

Holy shit, you didn't have to prove that you have never heard of those cities. They are among the poorest regions of Spain. DId you think they were like HK or what?

Pathetic, read something before wildly commenting.

Which side of the border is Ceuta and Melilla on? The side people are trying to get in to or get out of????
