@Schnakenburg FYI kid, having a Gender Studies degree and supporting the Wall Street candidate who *lost* isn't exactly a good starting point for claiming you're smarter than anyone else. Especially when you're denying outright fact and centuries of established economic law in favor of a religious narrative. Success speaks decibels louder than excuses.

Brexit is somehow going to *destroy* Britain's economic status? Kid, you have to have *zero* clue how the EU works to even attempt to type those words. You mean to tell me fish markets being completely destroyed, going from 10,000 crates of fish a day to 200 because all their surrounding waters were simply partitioned to *other* countries somehow *helped* their economy? Joblessness helps economies? Or what about the absolutely insane number of regulations on everyday things like groceries. Are you going to tell me 2,000+ regulations keeping small farmers from selling milk that only global corporations can afford to make *because* those regulations exist to punish small businesses?

And what the hell are you talking about with 'free trade with the EU'? NOBODY wants to trade with the EU. It's a slowly dying, stagnating mess that only has any measurable trade within its own borders because that was the *entire* point - hold all the European countries within a totalitarian closed market so the suppliers have no competition and the buyers have no alternatives.

And you're telling me the fact that all these countries are lining up to set up trade deals with Britain, Britain literally having the strongest economy on Earth right now directly *because* of that, is just a coincidence? Yeah, that's how the EU was supposed to work, amirite? It would do nothing but bleed Britain dry from 1973 to juuuuuust before 2017, and those damn Brexiters ruined things before they were gonna get good. Uh huh. You know it's a sad day when the millennials are shilling for globalist corporations.

And you're telling me that things in Britain are going to get worse since the EU can't mandate they take in more terrorist migrants, and things are going to get worse now that a self-appointed committee can't dictate how much they'll pay as ransom to the EU to continue funding it. If you knew basic GDP you'd know that there were exactly *two* countries keeping the whole system afloat: Britain and Germany. And now that Britain's gone everyone *else* wants out too. But I'm sure that has *nothing* to do with the fact that none of them are getting any benefit out of this and have just learned exactly how easy it is to take control of their countries back.

You wanna talk about a lack of insight, reflection, and knowledge? You're gonna need a mirror before you start using those words. You're telling me that Britain having complete control over its own country with its desirable GDP growth is not going to survive on its own like it did for thousands of years before this because it needs totalitarianism. You're unironically shilling for international multi-billion dollar corporations because clearly corporations care about you. And you reach for the classic butthurt liberal 'Trump supporter' insult as if that were somehow an insult. So supporting the candidate who *won* is bad? Ah, yes, we must all strive to be losers because losing is winning. Maybe that's what they teach in cancerous Gender Studies courses, but real life is a lot more meritocratic. Hating winners for winning is the attitude of losers, and it doesn't matter how progressive and intelligent you think you are if you don't have a job, don't have marketable skills, and don't have the basic life lessons like "people who disagree with you are not automatically stupid" that normal people with halfway decent parenting receive.
