Would you say Brexit is
>A bigger happening than the 2008 crash?
>A bigger happening than 9/11?
bigger than 911
NINE
>>78912509
no way. 9 11 was the biggest happening of this century so far
>>78912424
Yes
No
No. It needs more deaths. However next american civil war will be bigger than 9-11. Either that or Trump's assasination
No way. It's not a happening yet, but rather just an ensconsement of public opinion.
One of the history books to be sure, but not crazytown bullshit yet.
Still not relevant/10
>>78912424
According to this bitch it was a pretty big happening
>>78912424
BIGGEST
EVER
>>78912424
Yes
No
I can't wait for your next happening, Scottish independence.
Hrmmmm
Not sure Brexit would have happened without 9/11
>Believing the scaremongers
They're just desperately trying to get as much negativity out of Britain to encourage remaining EU member states to toe the party line and discourage any clever ideas about going it alone.
The two aren't even comparable. Hell, the crash in February of this year was worse. This doesn't even register as a sneeze.
Your currency value drop has been compounded by a relatively strong dollar but even that isn't something that's going to destroy Great Britain. The recovery will be slower because Pound Sterling traditionally drops in value in the summer though the Greek crisis last year was an exception (it's usually smart for British citizens buying their currency for a summer holliday to purchase just after Easter). The best thing you can hope for in the short term is another EU member formally announcing a referrendum, that will shake the value of the Euro a bit. On the Dollar front, confidence drop in the two months before the election, particularly if it's a close race.
>>78912424
>Pound slips 10%
>General market correction
It's fucking nothing so far senpai
>>78913223
It would.
Usually something special happens when politicians ditch the poor.
>>78912424
No it was not a bigger happening than 9/11 are you really that pretentious about the Brexit referendum
Until Article 50 is enacted Brexit isn't shit
>>78912424
Neither because nothing happened. Almost 52% of voters signalled that they would like to leave but that is by no means a guarantee that it will happen. Instead of initiating article 50, Cammers has left it for whoever is in power next to deal with. The next leader has to be serious about leaving otherwise the prospect of Brexit will fizzle away over the coming months as the EU drops the tough talk and makes a cosy deal while the leave campaign disintegrates and bickers internally. This is a serious constitutional issue and tbe media have been doing nothing but spouting memes causing unnecessary panic.
>>78912424
no and no, unless it leads to a greater happening it's not bigger than either of them.
I had that weird feeling on the Friday
Deffo impacted everyone involveddidnt feel like a business as usual. A lot of panic from the naive youth
Obviously not, retard.
Depends on the future.
Imagine if Brexit was the opening to the fall of the western society.
I can imagine the history books, /pol/ would take the credits it deserve.
>>78912424
Brexit hasn't happened yet. You can have your happening when the ink is dry, not before.
no & no.
It's a massive chimpout by people who got out competed by polish no marks thinking they're owed a living just because they're English.
So they vandalised the economy and it'll take 20 years to fix.
>>78914144
Right so we should just screw the British working class because it makes middle class twats feel smug about themselves
>>78912736
>american civil war
This would be so fucking nice.
>>78914245
Getting out of the EU wasn't the answer. We've been fucked over far more by successive British govts than the EU.
If you want to say it's undemocratic that's valid, but the UK is gonna be bought and owned by corporations now it's vulnerable, how democratic do you think that will be?
It's fine to be angry at the state of the nation, but making important decisions while your angry is not a good idea. I hope you can see why.
>>78914420
It would be an unholy blood bath. Look at the horror a few ill educated towelheads can unleash upon the largest fighting force in the world. Now imagine replacing those towelheads with people who look like, speak the same language as and are able to easily interact and blend in with your army. Next, understand that they're much better educated and have access to many orders more information on how to cook up horrific improvised weapons as well as many being as well as or better armed than most Taliban fighters.
At least half the US military would desert overnight and large weapons caches of the kinds Afghan militants can only dream of would fall into rebel hands. If some general with a conscience or a gram of sanity didn't slit the Commander in Chief's throat within a week there'd be a Tomahawk through the Oval Office window with a goddamn Dixie horn attached to the front before the month is out.
>>78914420
>tfw i've wanted little more than this for the majority of my life
and for that exact reason it'll never happen
Imagine the lels if 4chan had existed during September 11...
>>78916085
That's probably the best summary of why American Civil War II isn't happening I've ever heard. Americans have the desire to murder the shit out of their government in their blood and the politicians know it.
>>78912995
Nice description of your country.
I think 9/11 is really something that will echo through the ages. Like, it was the opening to and defined the new millennia
Brexit isn't anything yet
2997 dead is as irrelevant as the United States of Blessed BurgerShekel.
>>78916014
the last one took 620,000 in the most conservative estimates, new data suggests closer 750,000 dead.
thats an equivalent of roughly 6.2 million people today, or about 10% of all males between the ages 10 and 44, or 2.5% of our entire population.
more americans died in our civil war than in ww2, almost twice as many actually. In fact theres only about a 20,000 difference between dead in the civil war versus ALL american wars combined (assuming you use the 620,000 number I mentioned before, which is probably an underestimate.)
>>78917205
I honestly don't know how Japan thought it was a good idea to attack a nation willing to cause this level of bloodshed among its own people.
>>78917358

9/11 and 2008 crash were bad things. Brexit is a good thing
>>78917358
They agreed to be a testing site for hitting real cities. In exchange we got to rebuild shit and buy electronics and cars from the.
>>78917575
>treacherous
I wouldn't characterise American actions as treacherous. Treachery is attacking an opponents ships in harbour without a declaration of war. Firebombing their capital to shit is an expected consequence of attacking a nation with a huge manufacturing infrastructure and near unlimited resources.
>>78912424
it's a symptom of 9/11.
Without 9/11 there's be no refugee crisis and that was the collosal straw that broke the camels back.
>>78918074
Treachery is lining a bunch of old ships up in a harbor after knowing the enemy is coming, having an
>oops! lol!
moment in communicating this to the military in spite of having already cracked the code and in spite of having been warned by your allies, all just so that you could have an excuse to join another stupid European war. Maybe it turned out for the best and maybe not, but that's pretty underhanded.
>>78918280
That doesn't really make sense. An aircraft carrier in the 1940s maintaining radio silence was pretty much impossible to find on the high seas except for by luck. Wouldn't successfully repelling the attack have generated about the same amount of sympathy from the American people to support striking out across the Pacific?
Brexit is a hiccup compared to the housing bubble
Not worried. I just invested, in fact
>>78912424
>A bigger happening than the 2008 crash?
Yes, probably
>A bigger happening than 9/11?
No, you can't really compare this to a violent terrorist attack
>>78913409
> A FUCKING PLUS SIGN weighs in
> Actually knows what he's talking about in the fiscal and monetary fields
> everything went as expected
>>78918539
No, you need to really shock and provoke in order to spur a complete shift in public opinion. It's why the founding PNAC documents called for "a new Perl Harbor" in order to get the American people to go along with more wars of conquest. It took 9/11 to make that happen.
I still have emails from my very peaceful mom all about how excited she was over the TV footage of the "smart bombs" doing surgical strikes on all the terrists that in reality had nothing to do at all with even the official narrative of who was responsible for 9/11. And she's not the only one with such stories. Even I decided I'd strap a big American flag to my car and fuck everything fuck these fuckers and fuck 'em hard right after 9/11.
>>78913409
>posting FTSE-100 to prove his point
hahaha
>>78919426
Fair enough. Your location gives you a much better perspective on the American people than I can get from across the Atlantic.
>>78919729
Looking at foreign market indexes would be even more damaging to the scaremongers because they show a bigger drop in other European markets.
>>78919781
In Zbigniew Brzezinski's good book, "The Grand Chessboard," he academically outlines the need for conquest over the Middle East and confronts the problem of how to get the American people to go along with it. He suggests such things as humanitarian concerns, which is where we get the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine of bombing the snot out of other countries in the name of protecting them.
But that's not really enough. It falls as flat on its face as logical arguments about Islamic female genital mutilation. Nobody cares. What do people care about? They care about getting triggered because somebody used hatespeech on twitter.
>>78913409
if sterling falls the ftse *should* go up; the fact it has in fact dropped means that the real value of the index has dropped like 7 or 8% from a global outlook.
>>78913409
I would not be suprised if the ecb is manipulating the pund value
>>78912424
Since I was an adult for all three, I'd say nope.
9/11 literally changed the world in a single day.
The 2008 crash is basically the big Happening that triggered many of the events that caused the Brexit.
And so was 9/11.
2008 fucked the economy, 9/11 destabilized the world and made Islam a threat.
Brexit just seems like a symptom of that.
>>78912602
Yep
>>78912424
Australia wasn't really affected by the 2008 crash, so I can't common there, but in no way was Brexit a bigger happening than 9/11. It's probably the third biggest happening this century after 9/11 and the Iraq War.
>>78914245
Maybe the British working class should stop being useless entitled shits and learn some skills which are actually in demand in the 21st century.
>>78920225
Oh, and my personal experiences from when they happened - 9/11 was literally a week of being in a daze. You didn't know WHAT was going to change, but you could tell EVERYTHING was going to change (and it did, in a huge and horrible way).
The 2008 crash was like the flare going up letting you know that Europe was about to eat shit and that it was going to fall apart and that various far left or far right factions were going to rise in Europe, and possibly the U.S.
But it wasn't an immediate happening. It was like someone slowly turning on the tap.
Brexit is like the water starting to really gush out now.
The next happening - Maybe Trump, who knows...That could be 9/11 tier...or could be Gavrilo Princip Meets Franz Ferdinand tier.
No and no. It's too early to know brexit's full impact but I doubt it will be a bigger event than the 2008 crash.
>>78920482
Or maybe they should close their borders and kick out competing third worlders?
There are no new skills that are needed for chavs.
As the New Statesman pointed out earlier this year - In this Brave New Neoliberal future, the white working class is dead, and needs to leave. Their are too many of them. They either adjust to the new normal of developing world status lifestyles, or die.
Or, you know, use democracy incorrectly to pull a Brexit, which will upset a lot of people.
>>78912424
i remember the 2008 crash but what happened on the 9th of november?
Really makes you think
>>78920673

>>78920540
Oh, and nothing since 9/11 has had the sort of stomach dropping "oh fuck" feeling as the second plane hitting, let alone the towers coming down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQl798fUL2s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6f9Jpfz1Vo
>>78912424
Yes
No
>>78920105
That's to be expected since Brexit has raised long term investment questions. However, recovery is still progressing faster and from a much less dire starting than the slide in both Pound Sterling and market value that occurred in the first 11 days of February this year. Today is disappointing because the Asian markets are generally shitty on a Monday morning but it's already levelled out at a much smaller drop than occurred on any day at the start of February.
>>78912424
>bigger than 08
No. We haven't seen the end of two business days yet. People need to fucking relax. The same shit happened to the pound when Soros shorted the pound.
>>78920903
The second plane really did it. """somebody""" really understood how to do terrorism that day.
>>78920903
I came. Thanks.
>>78916668
9/11 was like the first action packed scene that set the stage of the film version of this century.
thankfully in the climax of the film Mecca gets nuked.
>>78920903
I was working in a shitty tech startup 20 miles from London. When the second hit, we had the radio on. All news sites crashed instantly. I fucking ran through the streets to a department store to find a TV. People stood there like zombies.
Everything was totally fucked for the new weeks. I'll always remember the papers being about ten sheets thick. Everything stopped.
>>78921157

>>78912424
>A bigger happening than the 2008 crash?
No
>A bigger happening than 9/11?
No
Brexit bigger for the EU than 2008 or 9/11, but not for the rest of the world
>>78920105
The "real" value of our global markets was higher than it should've been. People forget that DOW gained 500 pts in the week previous to Brexit, too.
>>78920673
That's fine and all, but socialism is still retarded and will bankrupt the country, Brexit or no.
>>78920738
You're comparing big market slides taking place over several days to a single galvanising event.
It's like comparing the steady weight gain of your mother over the last three decades to that one week in August last year when she was constipated and deducing that the biggest cause of her enormous ass is not shitting enough when the reality is that her near constant intake of soda and fried carbs is much more significant in the long run.
>>78920942
This. Uncertainty makes people freak out and they all the get the same idea at once: "Oh shit everyone else is gonna sell too!".
>>78921218
It was like, midnight here.
I was on IRC (kek) talking to Americans. Flicked on the 24 hour news channels when the first plane hit.
>muh small plane
>muh BIG plane
>"oh noes, white supremacists are at it again"
Then when the second plane hit, everyone lost their shit.
By the time the towers were down and their were conflicting reports about multiple hijackings everyone was in full panic mode, convinced everyone, everywhere was getting destroyed.
I think this movie probably did the best job of conveying the craziness of that night (day for the yanks).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQdjDtlK3uQ
I was living in London a few months after that, and traveling through Europe was so tense and strange. Everyone knew a real war was coming, but no one wanted it.
>>78918221
It's been a remarkable chain of events since the first domino fell.
This will have another huge fallout.
There will only be more and more happenings as shit spirals out of control.
>>78921322
>The "real" value of our global markets was higher than it should've been. People forget that DOW gained 500 pts in the week previous to Brexit, too.
An excellent point that has also been overlooked.
>>78912424
what exactly did brasil exit?
>>78921322
Probably, but if you don't protect the peasants, they end up revolting. It never goes well.
Also, another happening that gets no mention, but was a big deal at the time and really set the tone for the decade to come - Pic related.
Even though similar stuff had existed, this was like a new level being reached. Kids now wouldn't even blink, I guess.
>>78921706
It's typical to run the markets up in advance of a volatility event. No doubt everybody who's seen it happen 100 times before figured they'd ride the wave.
>>78921585
That's the feeling 2016 is bringing.
There was the massive happening of 2001. Then there has been many big happenings and small happenings, but they're coming at a faster and faster rate, closer and closer together and each one precipitates the next. Like watching a fire burn.
I wonder what's going to finally explode...or how it will be put out.
>>78921898
The fire rises.
No, and No.
>>78913938
When it falls the time to remove shitskins is here
>>78921792
Oh, and a couple of other, important ones - The London Riots and Katrina. Both examples of the government failing to live up to the faith people had put in them.
You sort of got the message; "You're on your own, and we're not really on your side".
All these things coalescing has been pretty crazy.
I would wager the Migrant Crisis and Merkel's boneheaded handling of it will rank just as high as Brexit or the '08 crash in the long term.
I'm not sure how people will judge the Arab Spring or the way Obama and France and Britain handled Syria/Libya. Maybe they're too close to really call.
I remember at the time, Iraq was sort of a "meh" happening. It didn't really get crazy and demonstrate it's importance until the occupation was underway (and going badly).
>>78912424
Brexit is smaller than 9/11 by far. Smaller than the 2008 crisis.
Think about it this way. Which event guaranteed 15+ years of middleeastern turmoil and government upheaval to the point that very few countries in the ME are functioning, economic migrants have fled to Europe's open door and now terrorists are knocking on your door?
Which event guaranteed that half of the countries in the EU would be subjected to crippling debt and unemployment and revealed that these countries would only be slave to the better off countries in the EU?
Would the brexit have happened if it were not for these two events?
>>78921849
It's probably for the best that after hours trading data isn't widely available.You might have seen some crooked fuckers unloading before the results were announced.
>>78913045
Wasnt that "what is the eu?" thing bullshit
>>78921898
I think that's why the brexit and other exit noises are important victories. There's no immediate danger, but it does serve to try to release the pressure in a more controlled and sensible manner.
>>78921486

I would also suggest a sneaky, undercover happening - NAFTA - Under Clinton's watch. The ramifications of that plus Reagan's amnesty for illegals are the sort of things that sowed seeds that didn't bear fruit for decades, but now we're seeing the results. It's kind of awesome.

It will continue to drop for as long as the economic/political uncertainty is present the UK and investors continue divesting away from UK based companies.
You're living in a dream land if you think the ftse will rally before any agreement regarding the UK's access to the single market is made. Which won't be for a while unless the UK relent on the free movement of people.
Short-term volatility of this scale isn't something you can ignore. If the root cause of investors shitting their pants isn't sorted then surprise, surprise, they'll continue shitting their pants.

No way that shit was on local broadcast channels 24/7 for weeks.
9/11 had consequences on the psyche of the world that changed things forever, to be honest. As a random act of terrorism, it doesn't seem to rank high on the happening scale, but when you consider the consequences, it's one of the biggest things that's ever happened. The whole political landscape was changed by 9/11.
Brexit, I don't know. It'd be like trying to understand the significance of 9/11 while the towers are still falling.

>screw the British working class
Either accept your lower wages or make yourself better as a worker. If you are seriously competing with an untrained immigrant for work, you deserve to lose out rules of nature style. That's like complaining that you can't compete against a retard for earning a job as a janitor. Why the fuck are you trying to be a janitor. Why didn't you try harder in school. You've been in the UK your whole fucking life and you're competing with some underclass polish guy to clean toilets. You deserve to fail at that point.
>>78926145
Most of the people I know who are mad about Brexit fit this description. Cunts who the minute they could fucked off to London to wank over how wonderfully multicultural it is while the towns that educated (before they went off to university on the public pound), protected and raised them died.
I actually can't believe they have the temerity to complain about this vote like they couldn't see it coming, of course it's impossible for them to imagine that not everyone loves what they love so I suppose I can believe it.

I wonder if it could be profitable to get roo on the cheap from Australia. Or maybe when we fix the trade situation our domestic bison operations will improve.
9/11 > 2008 crisis > Columbine shooting > Vtech shooting > rain during my neighbor's BBQ > Brexit
>>78926868
Yes everyone can't be academics, but if you are part of the few that don't make it, you deserve to fight among the rest of the poor. That's what you get for being a dumbass.
Also why the fuck should anyone who isn't poor honestly pay poor legal citizens more money to do the same job they can pay illegals less money to do? That kind of logic explains why the poor are poor. They pay more money for no improvement in the quality of labor. Either way you still get a retard trimming your hedges or cleaning your toilet. Why pay more for one than the other?
To expect people to pay more money to support poor citizens working jobs is literally no different than paying out welfare money. It's just that instead of getting it from the state, you're expecting me to pay your stupid ass upfront. That extra money which makes the difference between what you expect to collect and what I would actually pay an illegal immigrant is literally gibsmedats. You're expecting a handout for cheap labor.
Get some real fucking skills and stop expecting a handout.

For the UK the economic impact could be really bad - bigger than 9/11 as an event for the UK is likely. The 2008 crash was really bad though, it's very questionable on whether or not it will be as bad with brexit.
For the rest of the world, it's unlikely to be anywhere near the magnitude those two events had.
9/11 was by far and away the biggest happening of this century so far, and easily the biggest since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
However, if things continue on their current path, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if something went down in Europe that made 9/11 look like chump change. Stay sage Euros.

Deer are a pest here to the point where we have to declare hunting season to keep the population down. Still can't buy it at the grocery store, but you can load up your deep freezer with it for free if you know somebody who shot one and who can't figure out what to do with all the meat.
Fuck the food jews.

This. I don't think some of the young people here even clearly remember 9/11 or the significant of global policy after.
While those buildings were burning and shortly after their collapse i think some people legit thought we were at war. Nobody knew what kind of coordinated attacks were to come.

No. They establish a new lower value level for those skills because there is now a surplus of people willing and able to do those jobs. Undercutting would be more like a business purposefully selling an item at a lower cost in a fashion which is damaging to their own functioning for the explicit reason of destroying another company.
These immigrants aren't destroying their own way of life. They successfully live on lower incomes eating cheaper foods.
Maybe if you weren't retarded and knew what supply and demand was, you'd understand that if your kind simply did work at those lower prices, you'd find work too. If this upsets you because you can't go buy shoes or movies or whatever, cry yourself to sleep and think about why you should have applied yourself in school.

I remember 4chan cheering like mad dogs when the first plane hit. When the second hit, it was pandemonium. And when the buildings collapsed, the mood was "WAR! IT'S WAR! WE'RE GOING TO WAR!" -In a good way.

Very possibly

Unless Brexit turns out to be some sort of Franz-Ferdinand type event triggering WW3, then no. 9/11 was a big fucking deal, it's been 15 years and not a single month has gone by without some major news related to 9/11 or the chain of events which followed.

Neither.
Shit's calmed down, at least on my normiebook feed anyway and it was crawling with liberal shit 48 hours ago.

I remember some talk of maybe the Russians or Chinese. Nobody knew what the fuck was going on at first, there had never been anything even remotely like that before. Hardly anybody thought about terrorists because there were no terrorist attacks of that scale and coordination to compare them to. People were terrified of more attacks, airplanes were grounded for days, and people were glued to the TV watching the news.
I remember thinking that we were about to see WWIII. I was only 8 at the time, but was old enough to understand how huge it was, and saw the second plane hit and both towers collapse. It was as frightening as it was confusing, nothing comes close.

One of my co air traffic controllers was working at new york center at the time. They saw it on the radar and had no comms all they could do is watch the blip move and keep other aircraft away. Then "uh sir, the primary target is gone"
Brexit is only a big deal if the EU turns it into a big deal out of spite. It has lots of symbolic meaning and it might be the opening salvo to the the Western world shooting itself in the face to pretend that it is either possible or desirable to stop globalism, but in and of itself Brexit should really just mean just an economic hiccup for Britain that may or may not be good bitter medicine in the long term.
If the EU were really just a trade agreement like so many people are trying to pretend it is, then the break-up is just a renegotiation of terms. If it is more than that then Britain has legitimate grievances over the ever-expanding, poorly-managed relationship that it awkwardly agreed to in the height of the Cold War.

What a relief it turned out to be just a bunch of faggots. Too bad the resulting GB/Obama combo destroyed America.
