It’s a good reminder that when moments get chaotic, outside actors often amplify whatever noise already exists rather than creating something entirely new 😉
and if you think they’re not in this very sub, doing this exact thing, you’re sorely mistaken
I’m not a “everyone who disagrees with me is a foreign psyop” kinda guy, but if I see someone responding to me at 6-7am, I either have to think that this person has nothing better to do after waking up, then arguing with me on reddit, or that he’s just clocked in for his 9-5 a few timezones over
 “that’s the highlands were in open rebellion” funny I was talking to my parents last night they live in the Highlands never mentioned a thing. I expect they will be marching on Inverness once my dad gets the car started and my mum sorts out the thermos. They might pick my Aunt up on the way boost the numbers an all that.
Y’all remember when during the Israel-Iran war last summer, Israel hit Iran’s internet infrastructure and dozens of Twitter accounts who were pushing for Scottish independence suddenly went offline?

>The dominant narrative promoted by these fake profiles championed Scottish independence, framing the United Kingdom as a force of oppression from which Scotland must break free. This messaging strategically tapped into themes of democratic rights, national identity, and historical grievances. A parallel narrative portrayed Brexit as a decision imposed on Scotland against its will, emphasizing the economic, social, and political fallout – particularly its disproportionate impact on Scottish communities. A third narrative accused the BBC and the Labour Party of deliberately spreading dis- and misinformation and maintaining an institutional bias against Scottish interests.
>On June 13, following an attack that knocked out Iran’s power grid, the coordinated bot networks abruptly went silent. All at once, the fake profiles stopped posting. For more than two weeks, they vanished – no posts, no noise, just digital silence. When power returned, the same fake network came back online, using the same personas and behaviors, but with a new mission: promoting pro-Iran messaging and mocking the West.
I quote myself yesterday.
‘Also, somewhat related, I notice a lot of the usual pro independence suspects over on [r/scotland](https://www.reddit.com/r/scotland/) are absent these last days.
Nothing to do with what’s happening in Iran, I’m sure.
I guess I should be happy my wee country gets so much attention, even if it’s from cunts.’
You can tell they’re not scottish, you can fuckin tell. There’s a lack of wit and swearing to begin.
I will vote for independence when it benefits us.
And I’m the most claymore driven, basket hilted broadsword wielding, sink the teeth in, tartan flashes, highland charged, square go cunt, we would have won culloden if better led, when pissed.
If we bombed Moscow out of existence tomorrow, half of the divisive topics ripping our society to shreds would disappear in a second.
Russia, China, Iran etc, are all engaging in wildly successful hybrid war, attempting to split our society in two and divide us from within.
I desperately hope the people of Iran overthrow the filth in control of their society – as much for our sake as theirs. It would be incredible to visit Tehran as a friend, and not an enemy.
