Catalonia's self-appointed leaders as as badly globalist, or worse, than Spain's.

The demonstrations, and the broader decades-long anti-independence campaign, are simply good old Spanish ultranationalism and anti-Catalan xenophobia. That's the drug of choice of the Corporatist fascist globalist regime to keep the Spanish plebs tame.

In Catalonia nationalism has failed, it simply does not exist, even though the pro-independence camp would clearly win in a clean election. But those (Nation vs State) are separate issues right now as far as the overwhelming majority of Catalans is concerned. The drug of choice of the globalist corporatist regime for them is much more mainstream - ESG, "progressivism", and "the current thing" -- with the caveat that being a wannabe communist intellectual colony of 1960's France, Catalans are rabidly anti-American and pro-Palestine.
