Kinda interesting the comments in there when the Leavers show up and say "you want a civil war!? We've got the military!" and it reminds me of American politics.

British farmers would be competing directly with US and South American agribusiness conglomerates. I'll let you imagine how well that would go.

quote:

Eventually things will settle down and we will get used to the new order of things. My gut instinct tells me that culturally it will be a vast improvement on the status quo. There will be more reasons to cooperate and more need to congregate. I expect to see a cultural revolution where young people actually start doing surprising and reckless things again rather than becoming tedious hipsters drinking energy drinks in pop-up cereal bar book shops or whatever it is they do these days. We'll be back to the days when students had to be frugal and from their resourcefulness manage to produce interesting things and events.

...

I'm of the view that in recent years people have become increasingly spoiled and self-indulgent, inventing psychological problems for themselves in the absence of any real challenges or imperatives to grow as people. I have always primarily thought Brexit would be a reboot on British politics and culture. In a lot of ways it will bring back much of what is missing. A little austerity might very well make us less frivolous.

these paragraphs are so illuminating about this loon

he hasn't met a young person since 2002 but read some newspaper articles in 2015 and completely forgot that many young people did a surprising and reckless riot in 2011 (but everyone seems to have forgotten that) amoung other stuff seen as reckless, such as massively backing Corbyn. he doesn't know many students are still poor as poo poo (if they're not from money) and are constantly scalped by landlords and nowadays their universities too. for him, people these days aren't poor enough and that's why we have so many social problems but new, ultra-austerity and economic decline will correct our moral unfitness and propel Great Britain into the next stage of our Bildungsroman and allow a true Volksgemeinschaft to emerge from the ashes.

I was at the Democratic Socialists of America national convention a couple months ago and when people were drunk they'd burst into "ohh Jeremy Corbyn" chants.

As someone who hates fun I believe this is a foolish cult of personality but the internationalism was inspiring.

Jezza is the best politician in the Anglosphere, and I love how he's not even charismatic or personally inspiring or a "good politician".

This may be a cold take in Britain I don't know. It's just trickling in over here.

this is why he's such an important example, he's not like a super charming politician or great orator, but hey look you put forth an actually legitimately progressive labour manifesto and wow people actually want good things????

It isn't enough to just have a platform, Corbyn also has an authenticity that's genuinely endearing, and the socialist bonafides to prove that he's serious about his agenda. Despite not having what we'd usually consider charisma or a gift of gab, he's extremely likeable.

It also helps that he doesn't appear to have a single skeleton in his closet. Not a heavy drinker, hasn't touched drugs, no weird sex stuff and is one of the few mps not to be caught fiddling their expenses.

The press would love to have a go at his personal life but it genuinely seems like there's nothing there

He's married to a much younger woman, which is a little weird, and she's a foreigner. But taking that angle is its own mine field, because she's definitely a grown rear end adult and she's not a real factor in his public life to begin with.

Personally speaking, Labour would be able to negotiate Brexit better than the Tories and it would be better for the UK if they did.

Politically speaking, I hope It's a debacle and the Tories own all of it.
