Brexit
my boyfriend and i collaborated to make this top tier meme
Britain's voted to leave the EU. World economies are shittin' themselves.
Here's the Nikkei 225 (JPN Stock market) this morning, for instance:

The pound plummeted, the euro dropped. The JPY is stronger.

Re: Brexit
Memes aside, this is pretty terrifying news. It shows how right-wing extremism and isolationism is becoming increasingly popular, and how misdirection by the news media can completely shift public opinion. After years of creating an immigrant boogeyman to blame the U.K.'s problems on, the populace finally called their bluff and wrecked their whole country almost overnight. How long it takes for them to recover is yet to be seen, but lets hope voters in the U.S. see this and learn from it before November. I swear every day here feels more '1930 Weimar' and '60 BC Rome' than the last.

Re: Brexit
Immigration is the most often-cited reason I've been hearing from the Brexit camp. But yes, other factors are at play, namely the resentment of 'big-government' that's been growing over the years since the '07 crash as conservatives call for austerity and reduction of spending. The media worked to play this up too, and before 'muh immigrants' became the focus, it was a resentment of poor people living off the government that fueled their ratings, with 'documentary' Benefits Street being one of the most egregious examples of propaganda I've seen in recent years. This, coupled with the pants-on-head retarded results of the last election (I hate UKIP, but the fact that they got 12.6% of the vote and only 1 seat in parliament is ridiculous), creates an atmosphere of disdain for the government.Neelpos wrote:You don't honestly thing 52% of Britain voted to leave because "AHH IMMIGRATION", do you?
My question is how this disgust translated into a hatred of the EU, when EU investments have provided the backbone for economic growth across Britain, especially in poorer regions which, ironically, more often voted to leave. It's an example of cutting off the nose to spite your face, but the face they want to spite is someone else's entirely, so now they just have to walk around without a nose because they're morons.

I asked David Geffen personally if he'd donate to TF4 for me, but he wouldn't do it
