Well, a bit like the Breton language now, right ?

Breton nationalists' behaviour during the Second World War is far from being just an "instrument of destabilization". It is an example, among many others but probably the best, of the treacherous, hateful, weak and cowardly nature of your kind, always ready to sleep with the first invader, no matter who or what, because unable to fight by yourselves... English imperialists the day before yesterday, Nazis yesterday, extra-European immigrants today...

So the questions are, why should they go with an independent Brittany?

The truth is that current, Youenn-like Breton nationalism has no clear basis and is mostly incoherent. If they want to justify the independence of Brittany from an ethno-linguistic point of view, I agree but only the western half of Brittany should be independent. From a historical point of view, Brittany is now French for about 5 centuries, just like many undoubtedly French provinces such as Burgondy or Franche-Comté. From a "popular" point of view, most Bretons (around 75%) want to stay under French rule. From an "ethno-racial" point of view, Bretons (and especially the Eastern ones) share more or less a common Celtic background with their undoubtedly French neighbours (Normandy, Anjou, Touraine, Poitou, ...). So either you leave Eastern Brittany alone, or you accept to remain an united province under French rule. Anything else would be a betrayal to our Gallo brothers.
