I am very scared what is the future of Europe right now. This is exactly what happened in great depression before it broke wide open.
What is Europe's problem? Why is USA 300+ million strong sweeping across a continent, why is EUrope falling apart at the seams right and left cand cant stay together for even a single century? Why.

Kill yourselves, brits.

Because the US isn't sabotaging the US.
Jokes aside we have better leadership and we've been indoctrinated to hate all forms fo socialism no matter how good they may be for the country.

oh god, the rise in Yen was awful for me.
It got too expensive to go off base and drink.

no where to go but up from here

Europe isn't America. America is one big country defined by Westward expansion. The EU is an attempt to get a hugely diverse collection of peoples and cultures to work together in harmony. It was almost doomed to fail, though I'm still a little surprised it's the Brits who killed it.
>the GBP losing its value proves my ideology right
more like it proves you dont understand how markets work

Because the EU didn't have its gestation period where powers were added on gradually. Instead they gave enormous power to a group of transnational buerocrats who were somehow expected to not abuse it in any way.

USA is far more diverse than Europe is. We have all the nations of Europe, all the tribes of Africa, all the tribies of Native America, largest Jewish pop outside of Israel all in a single country.
We did it.
I don't buy the diverse culture excuse. Europe has more in common than it has different.

you don't have a thousand years of hating each other and pretending all of a sudden that water went under the bridge

Good goy.

I dunno why people are panicking over the pound. This is a result of market reaction to the brexit nothing more. Every time some global event or a catastrophe happens in a particular country their currency is always bound to fall then the next day it recovers like nothing has happened. The markets are like a giant 5 year old kid. If you scare the kid or take his candy away then he cries for about an hour and then stops and forgets what he cried over. The pound drop is a mere market reaction. It wont affect the future in any way possible. I guarantee in a few weeks or days the pound will jump back up again.

Similar to what >>61202367 said. However, it's also the xenophobes.The Brits can't stand to see themselves in this same globalized federation as say the French, or the Germans. It's weird and disgusting too. The Brits also have a lot of issues ("ISIS is out for us!" for example) that they like to blame on the EU, too.
America doesn't have this problem. We speak one language, one culture, one history. We are one people, we are Americans. The Europeans have been fighting among themselves for centuries, from the Celts and Romans to the Franks and Saxons to the Prussians and Danish to the Imperial Russian and Revolutionary French. They've all been fighting for a very long time and now the EU have brought these diverse cultures and nationstates (we're also a single country, too, unlike them) together under one banner; European. It's different and while most countries have embraced it, the Brits aren't really used to it. And they don't really want to get used to it, too.

man I'm sorry about that whole "axis" affair. I don't know what we thought back then

You're surprised the Perfidious Albion would forsake a massive amount of stakeholders for their own petty gain (that will turn out to be a huge mistake when all their worker protections are forfeited to better compete with China)?
