It's more like the fey state you'd go into in WW1 where you realise you can't stop the shells from blowing you up so you just march dead eyed across no man's land. I long ago accepted my generation has no future, I'm just hanging in to eke out whatever small hedonism is left

Vitamin P posted:For me it feels a bit like sitting in the back of a car being driven quite fast late at night down a quiet dual-carriageway with some mates, but you don't really know the slightly older lads in the front driving the car that well. It's their car and they have a spliff on and a few bumps of bad cocaine but your mates are in the back and you're deciding the music so it's not so bad. You know you're either gonna get stopped by the police or crash soon but because your lot are just swigging some cheap booze, not doing the drugs or driving the car, you have a weird idea that you'll not end up as badly off as they will whatever happens. You know that doesn't make much sense, especially because those lads are gonna come off the carriageway soon heading to a party they swear is real and that will be really good, and so a crash is more and more likely as the journey goes on. So you're making the odd loaded eye contact with a mate and one of you is muttering "gently caress it let's just get out and ring a cab home" even though none of you have enough money for a cab and either way you aren't sure how you'd actually get these lads to even slow the car down. So you just sit back and have another swig and listen to the music and double check your own seatbelt. Well I think I can safely say we've all been there.

What's the likelihood that it'll be a "hard" border to satisfy EU requirements, but in practice no one will really give a poo poo? Because it's up to the Irish and Northern Irish to enforce it, and its in their mutual self interest to keep things open

obvs this means ireland will unite, form a union with scotland, and then use the threat of their scottish nuke subs to annex Wangland, creating the "New UK" which will rejoin the EU. Easy fix.

Bryter posted:tbf avoiding that section of the border won't make a huge impact on journey times. Ireland's still going to be a pretty small country after brexit the transportation part isn't so bad because most irish live in dublin; the biggest consequence will be making it take a bit longer to get to and from Donegal from the capital. the real disaster is that the northern irish economy is heavily dependent on the rest of Ireland. DUP doesnt want a border with GB but their voters still get hosed if the economy collapses so they're stuck. this is extremely important because the DUP supplies the votes keeping May's government (barely) afloat. in the likely event of a hard border either between Ireland and NI or between NI and GB, the DUP will be forced with an impossible choice: a)agree, loving over the northern irish economy either moderately (border with GB) or severely (border with Ireland) and massively pissing off either their unionist base (GB) or the catholics (Ireland) possibly causing the good friday deal to collapse. b) disagree, meaning either the no deal apocalypse and a hard border with Ireland anyway, or May dissolving Parliament and probably losing to corbyn, meaning the DUP just handed the PMship to an IRA sympathiser. in the aftermath of b), labour gets to deal with trying to piece back together the exploded tory brexit deal months or even weeks before the March 29th 2019 deal-or-no-deal deadline, quite possibly the worst possible outcome for them politically

Surely Great Britain will be able to use its Power and Clout to bend Ireland to its will in the brexit talks and not be like, totally at its mercy.

basically, the political dynamic is that the party that negotiates brexit is going to both get all the blame for having brexited in the first place and then go on to get force-fed poo poo every day afterwards as the economic effects set in. since, absent unforeseen circumstances, labour is likely to win the next election, this leads to an almost farcical situation where labour has to hope and pray that the conservatives somehow schlep along for a full term so that the tories take the full brunt of the poo poo tornado and then labour can sweep in with a colossal, full-communism-guaranteeing parliamentary majority in the next scheduled election. if the tory government falls soon after brexit, labour isn't as well off long-term because the fallout from brexit lands on them instead. in the worst-case scenario for corbyn, may's government collapses at the eleventh hour and labour is hosed on both ends. they have to actually carry out brexit, betraying their base, and they get the full blame for the damage from brexiters who will accuse them of sabotaging it (the idiots who voted for brexit will believe this)
