A good 5th of this thread is SA's legion of American feminists applying 'hue hue they sooo racist'. Its a lazy view that just furthers my opinion that most Americans are just waaaay more obsessed with race than most other people I've met. We can denigrate the brexit people all we like because we're a pack of powerless well meaning left leaning idiots, but it will only make our goals more difficult to achieve. making GBS threads on the brexiters is pointless, in fact they are better than you for many reasons, one of which being that they have accomplished SOMETHING They did what a bunch of leg beards an snowflakes have never done an that is deal a severe blow to global capitalism and the pockets of the banks and ruling elite. I for one welcome this 'gently caress this whole thing' movement it is a hell of a lot more productive than the path offered by the 'anyone but Trump' horde; which boils down to 'a sensual rape by neoliberals while being made to watch a documentary comparing the struggles of the trans community to the transatlantic slave trade.' Click like or share if a white Stanford student getting off of rape charges is more important than ditching first past the post. Sethex fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jul 2, 2016 |

Velkest posted:you'd say the opposite if remain had won Enacting change usually requires a real mandate whereas the status quo requires nothing. You want the brexit to happen so youre setting aside how loving insane it is to let half the country decide for the other half how it gets to proceed in the global economy. Had this been binding you can bet your rear end a supermajority wouldve been needed and for real the margin of your victory makes it utterly meaningless. Had 66% wanted to leave, that would be a real mandate and represent the will of the people. Instead you have a vicously marrow margin that merely points out how dovided your country is. Your elected betters can and should weasel out of this because doung something tjis monumentally stupid without a supermajority just means you're going to polarize and fracture your kingdom. Hope this helps retard

Velkest posted:you are mad you lost. ha. You can't even admit that a simple majority shouldn't be able to drag a nearly full half of the country that was in opposition to this into this situation that will affect everyone, and the children of everyone. You can't accept that because you only barely got an outcome you wanted. Do you know what a Pyrrhic victory is? If you get your way, that's what this is. If the UK left with a supermajority, united in their will to leave the EU, that would be different. Instead you're probably going to lose scotland, and North Ireland is going to move that way too. The emprie is dead and England isn't that useful scotland to the world without scotland's oil fields. A brexit would rear end-gently caress your finance sector, which employs basically everyone and pays off the pensions of the dying old people that voted for this. so lol just lol I can't believe you're clinging to the idea that a 2% lead in a non binding vote is an ACTUAL mandate. If your government weasels out of this, and it should, and probably will, i just want you to understand why- And that's because 2% of the country doesn't get to dictate a decision of this magnitude.

global capital doesn't give a poo poo, they had their gasp and then poo poo was business as usual again by tuesday the UK is still hosed, because in the interim at least 2 years before they negotiate anything with the EU and get things situated they are going to see a massive drop off in investment because no one wants to do poo poo while things are in the air then you better hope that a decent deal gets negotiated and the EU doesn't just bend you over the table
