I honestly have no idea what the EU is, either. I know it's some sort of a coalition of states or something and it makes trade easier or whatever, there's open borders, EU healthcare cards and that's it. Voted "yes, let's join" on the referendum because it would make leaving Croatia easier in the future.

Not surprising. It's very likely a case of media bias and the fact that I'm working class and have a lot of other working class people on social media but it seems a lot of leave voters are really poorly educated, and often older people who fell for shit like "make britain british again" because they think all foreigners will leave now. It's actually how crazy the amount of people I know who aren't white, who's parents are immigrants who voted leave because "foreigners taking jobs and claiming benefits".

I'm sure there are plenty of brexit voters with legitimate and well informed views on the EU but I've seen very few personally.

If you really want to get technical, it's the Ottomans fault that the modern world is the shithole it is now.

The Ottomans brought religious turmoil into the Balkans which has led to that region becoming a powder keg for violence since the 19th century. World War I started because of tensions in the Balkans that drew the rest of Europe into conflict. While the nationalism that helped fuel the conditions for that conflict would still exist in a scenario where the Ottomans hadn't brought religious turmoil to that region, you could argue that the amount of tension would be greatly decreased compared to what actually happened.

Furthermore, it was the Ottomans who allowed Wahhabism to survive in the Nejd and the defeat of the Ottomans in WWI lead to the the formation of a Saudi state that was pro-Wahhabi and the Sykes-Picot agreement which carved the Middle East into the clusterfucker that it is now borders-wise.

Without WWI, there is no WWII, no Sykes-Picot, and no situation where Wahhabi-Sauds take up power in Saudi Arabia.

We should take some responsibility for poking the bear, so to speak, but for other countries to blame the entire situation in the Middle East on America, especially France and the UK, is bullshit.

Upper class: Etonites - The monarchy, the Prime minister and hedge fund managers. Right wing
Middle class: Divided between moderate conservatives (the dad of the family) but you get a lot of middle class leftists that are fucking unbearable
Working class: The working man is veering towards right wing politics simply because he's getting fucked by more and more and more immigration cutting his wages into smaller and smaller and smaller quantities.
Underclass: Your picture. Relatively rare in the wild but they look like this.

All sorts of positions are filled by complete rubes that have no business in those positions because of this.

The sovereignty bollocks was just a way of deflecting the accusations of xenophobia, many people voted "Leave" because they dislike immigration (ironically, largely in areas where immigration is relatively low). The leave votes were mostly older people too, which is going to do wonders for the already widening generational divide in this country. Almost every young person I know, both on the left and on the right, is really confused and angry, only a few low educated people are celebrating this (I don't mean low educated in a dick way, I mean in a "didn't go past high school" way).

In a way, when you strip away the context for the statements they seem reasonable, and provincial towns in the UK have been decimated by failed governments. The irony is that most of them benefited from EU funding!

Then people go to the retreat of "Well, y'know. It's just my opinion and I'm entitled to it." And all today at work I've been told to respect people's "opinions." What the fuck? Since when did this come in? Since when were people's "opinions" some fucking sacrosanct absolute, ceaselessly guiding them on their destiny? You need to be able to defend your opinion if you value it so much, not wrap it up in a magic blanket of +3 bullshit.

I'd be happy to be proved wrong by Brexit supporters, but I can't see it happening.

>>
>>61261266
Clearly, but not convincingly. They had no answer to stark warnings about economic struggles other than a "we'll be okay, we're Britain! We make Dyson hoovers and cake from Walthamstow!"

They claimed they could negotiated a free market trade deal with the EU, despite the EU saying it simply wasn't going to happen without accepting free movement of people, something which the leave campaign got a lot of traction from promising to abolish.

They had no plan whatsoever in the event of a Brexit, and now we're in for months and months of uncertainty and infighting and social unrest and for what? So some people who live in desolate towns with no sign of turnaround can think to themselves "Well at least we didn't let them Muslims from Turkey in". If you think I'm being hyperbolic, you clearly haven't lived here or spoken to anyone from outside of London. There's so much fucking anger and it's been directed in the most deconstructive way possible by a bunch of charlatans.

He's completely right and your argument is poor. Just because humans spent thousands of years wanting to scale mt. Everest in the end there wasn't any real reason to.

Leaving the EU was always founded on non-arguments because the actual obligations the EU imposes are A. Flexible and 2. Usually not at all related to decisions such as taking in Pakis, Loos and everyone else that ruffle nationalist feathers.

I'm not going to act like I'm a politician or economist but one of the main arguments for leaving was that Britain will have it's democracy back and be sovereign again but didn't we always have that? Wasn't that always the case?

I mean, we still had our own currency and own elected government issues who controlled the country. I have honestly heard very little about the EU "taking control" of and making rules in this country so what exactly was going on? I'm pretty sure the any trade agreement will involve movement of labour anyway so even the whole "eu immigrants" argument is a bit weak.

Yes and no. The European council is supposed to act independently of their home nation's interests, so the European parliament is where democratically elected representatives get a say.

Scotland has quite high chance of leaving as previously a big argument for staying in UK was that they would get kicked out of EU if they left. Whereas now if they play their cards right they just get to stay in EU when UK leaves.
Of course that assumes that UK allows a new independence referendum, which would be quite hypocritical if they didn't.

Politicians aren't any better. Nancy Pelosi notoriously said (about Affordable Care Act, IE Obamacare) that "We've got to pass the bill to find out what is in the bill" when she urged congress to vote for a 2600 page piece of legislature that had been introduced only 12 hours earlier.

"What is the EU" is the simplest question you can ask about the EU.

brexit vote split by age.jpg
38 KB, 868x296
I was looking at Brexit vote charts, and one that caught my eye showed a dramatic disparity of vote by age group. It seems that senility, nostalgia for "a time gone by..", and the xenophobia, intolerance, and inability to adapt to change that comes along with it, had real-world consequences for the UK today.

Judging by the beating the GBP took, and even Scotland asking for an independence vote, it's something we here in the U.S. need to watch out for. I watched a video of some old hag whom her, her sisters, and her parents voted Leave, and after she saw this morning the real-world consequences of how the GBP went down, and Cameron's resignation she began to also realize it was going to have an effect on her job prospects, and she said she wishes she could go back and vote Stay. That's how stupid these people are, they just vote based on "the feels", then they regret it when they see it's actual effects.

Stock markets and currency markets act in irrational ways because, in the end, they are driven by the psychology of the people who invest in them. So when people are confident, they go up, and when people are worried, they go down, even if there's no real reason for them to fluctuate.

People are nervous, so the markets went down.

Good time to buy.

France gives them much less welfare than Germany or Sweden. That's why we have much less rapefugees than them. A lot of them are even coming back to Germany after being sent to France.

As for why they choose UK: it's because a significant part of them already have some family here, and it's also much easier to get a work, as they don't need an ID card.

>>61264265
It's ridiculous how many people voted leave to "make a statement" but didn't think it would actually happen and now that it did they regret it.

This is not the first vote in which my choice didn't win but this is the worst I've felt about it by a huge margin, something about this one just feels really bad as it seems the winning voters did it for all the wrong reasons and were just blatantly fooled by sensationalist propaganda. Maybe it's because of how close it was, maybe I'm just being a biased sore loser and maybe I'm just as naive as I perceive them to be but that's how it seems to me. I've been trying all day to find some positives, as I had been beforehand, and see otherwise but it's been very hard.

The banksters will make out like thieves, but they don't drive the panic, what drives the panic are the brokerages who represent small time investors who aren't in it to make a living at investing, but rather to help protect a retirement fund, et al. That's what most of the market is, small money held by small folk, and when they go to their broker and say "I need you to get me investments that have lower risk, because I'm frightened." They move GBPs and Euros into dollars before the election results are even out, and the market starts to tank.

And the worse the market gets, the more people pull out money, and the worse the market gets.

I'm not wealthy, I don't have the seed money or the free time to make a killing as a trader, but I keep a small kitty just for events like this, When the market flinches, I buy a little extra. 2008 was good to me, I increased my retirement account by 4,800 in 6 months because I told my broker to take a thousand bucks from my checking and buy something that was getting beat up unfairly.

I don't think this is going to be as bad as 2008, and I don't think I've got any chance of turning $1000 into almost 5k, but when the GBP reaches 80 cents I'm buying $1000 worth, and I've told my broker to watch for deals in UK based companies.

Oh I totally understand your point, and I somewhat agree with you, but in reality a lot of these very old folks are merely senile, delusional and afraid of everything that looks somewhat different. We just had a situation here in the U.S. with some crazy hillbilly posting billboards about "Make America White Again", and he talks about "wanting to go back to the 1960s era of Leave it to Beaver and Ozzie and Harriet when you could leave your doors unlocked!".

First of all, those are TV shows, not documentaries, second, they're from the early 1950s, not the 1960s, and I checked his DoB which is 1957, which means he was 3 years old in 1960, so all the shit he talks about is honestly a world he himself never even got to experience because he was too young to be cognitive. It's all nostalgia for a golden age that exists only in his mind.

So yes, there is a lot of old crazy people who are out of touch with reality, afraid of everything new, and senile with age, just like him, which is exactly the age bracket that voted the most for "Leave" in the UK.

The biggest problem is that leaving wont even change anything. Norway and Switzerland have arguable worse deals than any of the actual EU member states. Norways for example accepts a shit ton of EU regulations while being unable to even argue them. They also pay like 95% of what Britain paid (in relation to their gdp obviously)

If the UK wants to get back into the free-trade agreement then they will probably be worse off than they were prior to leaving.

>leave the EU because of immigrants and refugees from the developing world entering the country
Funny thing is that leaving won't do anything about third world refugees(in fact it might even attract more and France is also thinking of emptying Calais into tunnel after UK officially leaves). It only affects people who would actually work for their stay.
>>
>>61265403
it's still worth it for norway though, as eu regulationss would limit their oilfields and fishing grounds which are a huge deal to norway.

You might wanna do some proper research. ~70% of the sand niggers who migrate to the UK are from commonwealth nations such as Pakistan and India. The amount of refugees the UK took since this mess began is about ~1% of the total amount that entered the EU.

If they voted to keep niggers out, then this vote makes no sense because niggers will still enter. Its the Polish and eastern Europeans who are being cockblocked from working in the UK. I dont see how thats a good thing. People who voted for leave only have a single, solid argument: Independence.

They wont be better off from an economical standpoint and the sand niggers will still flood into London. Doesnt really seem worth it to me but whatever floats their boat I guess.

>>61265682
Yeah I know. The point is that Brits seems to bring up Switzerland and Norway as examples for properly ran, non EU countries. Yet in reality, both have to accept heavy regulations to enter the free trade zone, regulations so extensive that they are worse than the ones most members have to deal with.

All banter aside, I feel that's a fairly understandable search, bear in mind that just because you know what something is doesn't mean you can't learn more about it.

At least some people are making an effort to be more informed.
