Re: The Identity Problem in Italy [split: Tipologia dei Longobardi dall'Italia]
I don't have a problem with the northerners wanting to preserve their regional cultural identity. In fact, I support this. My problem with the entire northern Italian identity issue is the fact that they believe just because they are northeners that they are straight descendants of germanics and celts. I don't deny the influence of the two groups in the north, but it's not as major as they make it seem. They also tend to see themselves as superior to the rest of the individuals who live south of them.
The legist leaders want indepence for financial reasons and they use the northern question as an excuse for it. It is obvious that its a wiser move for the north to be more industrialized than the south. It is closer to central Europe and there is a lot of resources. The current situation of the south can be explained clearly but I wont explain it again since I have explained it many times.
Every once in a while the Identity problem comes up. Lets hope everyone gets it out and we can move on since nothing ever gets solved..I barely even bother commenting on this issues anymore since it's always the SAME thing.
