if corbyn wins at least he wont have a greater power enforcing horrible policies. Ofc that involves getting corb into power first

Besides that brits wont get much out of this with the current govt. Most of the positives are on the "gently caress you EU" side of things.

Monkey Fracas posted:

so what I'm getting here is that Brexit was a good thing if the EU can't get its poo poo together and emerge reformed and better in one way or another

...but the vote itself was mostly about the Leave organizers playing with xenophobia to motivate people to vote leave
The vote was as much also about the Remain camp offering absolutely loving nothing to people and hoping that the economically precarious but craven, and the young, who have been trained to vote to stay throughout their education, would show up and vote.

That was pretty much it.

The tone for the vast majority of the remain campaign was basically:

"There is a risk that your house will be worth 10% less and in 15 years' time you will have lost 」3000"
"Right..."
"And Christine Lagarde agrees!"
"Why should we trust any of that or not want to be able to afford a house more easily?"
"Both interesting questions, but did you know that the OECD agrees with our predictions?"
"How's about how headline GDP increases have come in the face of near decade-long pay freezes for many people and have left our society extremely divided while the EU stands by and just watches it happen. Why should that inspire confidence in the EU?"
"Richard Branson says it is good, to be in the EU."
"Where do working people even go from the 5th richest economy in the world to try to better themselves, since our country has such weak foreign language education that making it in Germany, the Arab world, or Japan is unlikely to happen for most state-educated people, and there is already a glut of English-speaking immigrants in Australia, Canada, and the US?"
"Have you considered that it is risky to leave the EU?"

Badly run campaign that addressed nothing.

I hope the new independent UK can resume its special relationship with :ussr:, like that time they licensed turbojet engines to the Soviets, which ended up being used in the Korean war vs. the US.

Have the Brits made any good engines lately? The F-35's droopy penis doesn't count.

Neurolimal posted:

New Labour and Tories both took collective shits on productive jobs like that. Only paper pushing and coin counting remains

Not strictly true. *For now* we are still the base of Rolls Royce, who are second only to General Electric in the production of modern jet engines. One of the most famous of which being the turbojets that powered Concorde.

e: ironically they are considering moving, as might the whole operation we got in Wales building Airbus wings (like hell will they be able to compete with Boeing now), and I bet the fact that we do a massive chunk of the world's engine research will drop too. There is a hill in Oxford where you can see most F1 teams from, I doubt that'll be the case soon. Tens of thousands of jobs gone, many apprenticeship positions gone too. Only reason Dyson wanted out was because he has consistently whined that the pound is too strong to trade with China, which is where he is targeting in a big way.

Well sure, but there is no equality. In America you have a few leftists who actually care about civil rights, and they are used by neo liberal politians for identiy politics. The liberal ruling class in America tolerates brown people as a benighted underclass who needs help and guidance. The conservatives are more open in their disdain. I'm just loling at that guy who dislikes his neighbors for acting like uncivilized foreigners, but he will tolerate them since that's cool and good these days.

It's like the western world never made any real progress over the last 70 years. We just convinced folks to grit their teeth and be "tolerant". It's such a fragile peace.

I think at this point most Americans do feel somewhat close to the British as fellow English speakers but the same applies to Canadians, Aussies, and Kiwis.

There's probably more of a "special relationship" with Ireland these days in that there is a tendency for any white American with a few drops of Irish ancestry to refer to themselves as "Irish". There are more Americans of English ancestry than Irish but that same kind of pride doesn't seem to manifest at all.

You really don't even know what the "special relationship" even means, do you? I mean, drat.
