Honestly fear of immigration is a pretty huge concern and the reason a lot of people voted leave. Those people are silly. There are loads of legitimate reasons to want to leave the EU, including lack of autonomy, supernational legislation hallmarked by useless obstructions, having to pretend to respect Belgium as a country, and insufferable dickholes in suits wearing annoying little EU flag pins. Unfortunately all of this gets ignored largely because Nigel Farage looks funny on camera.

Hmmm.

Do you think it would have helped if the "stay in the EU" people called the other side ignorant, racist fascist like even louder, perhaps using all caps in internet posts? Like show that they were REALLY SERIOUS that they thought the people with EU grievances were ignorant, fascist racists whose opinions were unworthy of consideration.

Would that have changed the outcome of the vote?

I think if the rhetoric doesn't cool down, we are in for some equally big changes in America in the near future, so I snark a little bit.

From the Telegraph financial section:

More than £1.5 trillion is expected to be wiped off world stocks today as the Brexit bloodbath sends global stock markets into free fall.

Global stocks are now poised for their worst daily loss ever.

In just three hours of trading, the FTSE 100 has lost 4.4pc, with some £73bn wiped off the value of Britain's biggest companies.

Meanwhile, European bourses are also reeling from the shock result. Frankfurt's DAX is down 7.3pc and the CAC in Paris has fallen 8.7pc.

The referendum outcome hit Greek stocks hardest, with the country's benchmark index plunging 15.3pc.

In the US, stocks futures are tanking in pre-market trading. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures are both off by 3.6pc and the Dow Jones has tumbled 2.8pc.


This makes the claims of the leave-side even more ludicrous. I thought you said nothing bad would happen guys?

nah Trump won´t win but the current political climate is very reminiscent of postwar Europe with anti immigrant retards who long for the Good OLd Days rising rapidly, and someone else somewhere in the west will likely gain state power either through the political process or through a coup well before 2022, starting the neo fascist revolution

fascism happens when all the alternatives to look worse than shaving your head and going around beating the poo poo out of people for poorly explained reasons

when you realize that fascism is winning you don't go around telling people that fascism is bad. everyone knows that fascism is bad. it's loving retarded and nobody ever actually thought it was a good idea. you look inward and go "wait what the gently caress are we doing wrong that everyone wants to go do that poo poo instead of listening to us?"

This is exactly the issue. The EU has been a free pass for lazy, lovely, corrupt governments all over Europe for ages, and people are acutely aware of that. Especially when they pull the poo poo you're mentioning here.
