Or it simply requires context more complex than just “a state wants independence from a nation”. If East Germany wanted to split, it would be for very different reasons than if Bavaria wanted to.

You’d have to actually analyze the context. Some of the UK had whined for decades that they were treated unfairly by the EU. Some of Scotland thinks they’re being treated poorly by the UK. One can be true and the other not.
