"grexit" sounded like a disgusting bodily function, why the hell did the media decide to do the same naming format with Britain

He's more propaganda than comedy now. It's pretty terrible, losing all respect for a guy who was a clown to begin with.

the sad thing is that he used to be funny, and i assume he still has the ability to be funny, but he'd rather do 20 minutes of outrage mixed in with pop culture references as "humor"

if you vote "remain" you think that the british government would do a better job of loving you over

if you vote "leave" you think that the EU would do a better job of loving you over

why even bother voting, both of them are dogshit

Well, that's a yes, but that also means I can not explain this to you.

i'm an american who knows about the EU and its borders, but not how the UK being in it helps them... or at least doesn't hurt them as much as their austerity government does. can you explain it to me instead

Here's a fun gallery of incidents of xenophobia/racism in the UK that have had an increase in frequency since the vote. It's appropriately named "Worrying Signs". Far-right nationalists reveling in the vote's result. http://www.facebook.com/sarah.leblanc.718/media_set?set=a.10101369198638985&type=3

there's a surprising amount of racism towards poles

I think you will discover the problem is that slavs aren't white. Technically only the English and French are white. Eastern europeans and russians don't count. Neither do the Irish. And now that I think about it, the French are a little iffy.

did that british neo-nazi take over your account

irish people are lovely (or at least they are in america) but that doesn't make them "not white"

I've actually heard alt right people make this argument in reverse. The only reason the Warsaw pact was lovely was because the Soviet Union was communist. If it had been like Russia under Putin then everything would have been great.

soviet apologists and the alt right have the same idiotic mindset, even though both sides would love nothing more than to see the other brutally murdered

2)Northern Ireland peace process compromised due to border returning - the Troubles are likely to return, which is super lovely
3)Potential Northern Ireland secession to join the Republic - it is now a real possibility

i agree with everything in this post except for these two posts. how do border controls affect religious violence within Northern Ireland? also, Irish unification ain't happening, at least not in the immediate future. unionists don't like the result, but they really don't like unification with the Republic

Also if anyone had been prewarned that brexit would cause the death of austerity and the total collapse of both Labour and the Conservatives (esp. BoJo and Gove), it probably would've got more than 52% of the vote.

i have no faith that brexit will do that. shittiness always finds a way to preserve itself
