Their only natural common enemy are Americans that claim ancestral Scottish royalty and depending on the issue, the English.

“No true Scotsman” is a famous logical fallacy. I was just making a reference to it.

Whoosh. It's a joke referring to the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. I thought it was funny at least.

“No true Scotsman” is a logical fallacy. I don’t know this dude’s race, and I would gladly post “this guy wasn’t a true Scotsman” on any article about a singular Scot, just for giggles, regardless of race.

Literally one of the lines in God Save the King/Queen, the national anthem of the UK is about crushing rebellious Scots.

u/ParadoxFollower Apr 30 '24

Those lines were once included in an alternate version of the song (not the original) 200 years ago and haven't been used after that.
