The article discusses the chain reaction of viral social media support surrounding Catalonia's drive for "independence", which has alarmingly resurrected civil war-era rhetoric. However the most dangerous consequences are a domino effect in regions elsewhere if the separatists are ultimately successful.

Abstract:

Excerpt:

Whether it's Identity Federalism or separatism, either of these outcomes could encourage regional copycats all throughout the EU. The UK "Independent" published a very misleading map just the other day claiming to have pinpointed all of the other Catalan-like political movements in Europe, obviously inferring that they could be next if the Barcelonan separatists are successful. The salient point being made here isn’t that each and every one of them will rise up in Color Revolution-esque fervor just like the Catalans did, but that some of them will undoubtedly be inspired to push forth with their agenda in fracturing their home countries and contributing to the "regionalization of Europe". Other than the Spanish examples mentioned in the map, this could also see a chain reaction occurring in Scotland, Northern Italy, Germany's Bavaria, and maybe even parts of France too.
