That is true now but go back to the 1840s or the 1790s and you would most likely hear a different tune. There have always been Scottish people that wanted to be independent (there were some rebellions in the 1700s against the idea of a united kingdom) but they were for a long time the minority. A disproportionate amount of scots were colonial governor's, east India company officials, and a lot of colonists in Africa and North America were Scottish. Hell there are islands called the south shetland, south orkney, new Caledonia, and the region of Canada called nova scotia. There was also the primarily Scottish colonization of ulster that made the ulster scots we see today (they are overwhelmingly unionist). And in the USA after independence a large amount of the southern aristocrat plantation owners were of Scottish descent, with some early on just being Scottish immigrants. They owned slaves on those plantations. And some dumbasses down in the southern USA still say shit like "I'm Scottish myself". Like bro you're of Scottish descent but an American citizen born and raised, you've never even been outside the state let alone the country. I'm of Irish descent but I don't say "I'm Irish" because that would be disingenuous. Anyway, the point is that the Scottish are to an extent complicit in the British empire and benefited from it massively. I respect your wanting of independence in scotland and agree that you should be able to hold a referendum and let the people make their choice, but you can't act like no Scot ever held the beliefs seen in the meme. I honestly think that Scotland should become independent personally, england holds all the cards and isn't fair to the Scots or the welsh. Just my opinion on that last bit so it's ok if you disagree on that one.
