I think Britain might have a problem descending into fascism given the graph that showed almost all the brexit people were over 65 while all the young people are flower power millennials.

Although I would find it funny imagining a bunch of OAPs in leather stomping on a pair of hipster glasses, forever (or at least until tea time when they have to go and watch countdown).

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.

The EU came to be in 1993. How many "ages" is that?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

i don't think you realise but any leftist most definitely opposes the neoliberal hellhole that is the EU

the worrying part of brexit for leftists is not the consequences of the vote itself, rather that the result was undeniably swayed to leave by the ridiculous racist and nationalist sentiment being espoused as of late

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you saying 23 years is not enough time to see a trend in one particular form of government? Should we remain entirely uncritical of organizations that haven't been around since, say, the Enlightenment? Better wait and see how the DPRK works out guys it hasn't even been 100 years

listen up Brits, you can choose neoliberal austerity or you can be a racist

just like here in America; in November we can choose to give full control of the executive branch to the banking industry, or we can be racist/fascist/misogynist/literally Hitler

Hammerite posted:

he campaigned for the "stay" side and still thinks we should stay. Basically it's a bit of a rebuff to his position on the whole thing, it's zeroed his credibility and it would go down badly for him to be leading the way in determining how to get us out, when everyone knows he doesn't think we should be getting out in the first place.

also the tory party would probably knife him in the back lol, for the above and other reasons

KomodoWagon posted:

It was his idea to hold a referendum as a way to make people shut up about leaving the EU because remain was surely gonna win, then he got hosed

So basically a toxx clause? lol

I am assuming if he wants to stay he can without resigning? That makes a bit more sense.

Serious question, what happens if Northern Ireland wants to stay in the EU via reuniting with the Republic, but Ulster Nationalists types can't let a few hundred years of conflict go and in no way will willingly join Ireland? Do we get the troubles 2.0, UK bugaboo?

Johnson had a vision for a great society of New Deal expansion that's buried under the legacy of Vietnam which he probably doesn't deserve tbh, so he was the last democrat president trying to be FDRish sort of left wing like actually minding the welfare of the working class.
