Another Brexit bonus
It’s no coincidence those that championed Brexit are those that wanted a weaker Europe and weaker U.K.
That’s why the majority of tax payers were against it, the majority of educated people voted against it, the majority of working people voted against it, the majority of people alive today who voted voted against it
Yet we still got it.
Bloody poor people deciding for themselves what they want. Shouldn't get a vote unless you have a degree and property. If only they'd had the sense to listen to their betters.
And those poor people are objectively poorer because of Brexit. But as long as there's fewer foreigners coming in, then they're happy?
Those poor people voted for something for which they were explicitly mislead. The results of Brexit have in no ways made their lives better.
The elites made the mistake of actually putting political power in the hands of the British people for once.
Catastrophic error on their part, they won't do that again
It's never to late to rejoin, we've all learned a lot about foreign propaganda in the last decade.
Someone at Davos commented "It took you 7 years to negotiate your way out, it will take you 7 years to regret and then 7 years to negotiate back in".
All while losing all goodies and setting the economy back a decade.

We need a whole generation to die off before that becomes likely.
In the mean time we should move closer when the opportunity rises.
I'll bite on this one. I've been saying to anyone who will listen here in the states: my generation, the Boomers, needs to die out and/or get the hell out of the way. We're trashing almost everything because of a cult of hero worship.

Don't be so sure that the next generation automatically gets less indoctrinated.
Facebook at least documented content interactions out in the open. With tiktok you don't notice what kind of content someone consumes.
There are tens of thousands of people working a full time job just to influence people in democratic countries to act/vote against their interests. Then we have hundreds of thousands more in advertisement industry with their own interests, mainly in line with goals of US companies.
There is reason for optimism because if everyone is on tiktok it becomes "uncool" again but still it is a very dangerous tool.
