No dude, authority emanates from armies, which are never irrelevant. And the writing is on the wall.

I hope the Catalans that voted to leave have really good reasons to do it, because if the situation isn't defused somehow, there are some tough times ahead.

That is true for primitive societies. Modern, civiliced societies do not resort to violence when they lose the war of words and persuassion.

It is not clear we are in a modern era.
