Brexit Thread

[Husar]

What comes around goes around came, it's called the Brexit. The English have little to worry about really, the EU all the more. Analysts (or rather trendwatchers) already predicted something like this 20 years ago, they put the year when the EU would economically (southern-europe) and geo-politically (the Ukraine) overstretch earlier but they weren't all that wrong, the UK would be first to leave, after that the Netherlands or the Visegrad-zone. The Netherlands is unlikely right now sadly, but the visegrad-zone isn't exactly very happy with Brussel's commands

That's just islander mentality. You can go to a tiny island in the north of Germany and they will probably tell you how they "do things differently around here" and how they're "a special kind of people". Or go talk to submariners of any nation. Of course none would tell you that "we cry a lot because we're lonely" or "we are afraid of our own weakness so we prefer to be alone". It's perfectly normal to try and turn your quirks and faults into strengths because you're afraid to get eaten otherwise in this darwinistic world. The ratio of special islanders is just higher in Britain because they haven't had regular friendly contact with continentals for as long as the Netherlands.

The so-called "increase in nationalism" is just a panicking of the vanishing. It is likely not to increase any further, but to implode as it dies out and gets replaced.
