Seriously If you wish ill on a people because of percieved wrongs perpetrated by their past governments you need to take a good long look at your own country/ethnicity and apply the same thing to you. Should all Serbs be held accountable for the crimes perpetrated by some? Should all russians be held accountable for Stalins actions? Should all Indians be held accountable for systematic oppression of the people in their country through the cast system? No? Then British people aren't responsible for the settlement of northern Ireland by protestants, Or for Scottish nobles signing a treaty on the Union because they wanted a bigger empire. These things happened, they were bad. The now is important, not the past.
What could conceivably be argued as important is the opinion of the current populace of the areas that want to secede. If they have suitable grievances with the current state of things maybe they should be able to leave the unions of countries/countries they live in or if they are being oppressed by an unelected government. But if their grievances are imagined, or based on "historical grievances" rest assured I am still opposed to their pointless secession. I find it very hard to justify secession in democratic countries... It stinks of rage quitting just because things currently going the way you want which will ALWAYS happen in a democracy at some point.
and yet what Varijnland said about Serbs is exactly what you just said no one does, I mearly pointed out all the crimes that Anglos could be held accountable for so perhaps they should lay of the Serbs?
In any case I find it amusing that someone only says this because of the perceived offence against anglos
