I keep seeing people saying "Brexit was a 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲".
I think you mean the direct result of a conspiracy by billionaires who wanted to weaken the EU, and open up the UK to exploitation, including forcing private health care on us, with some assistance from Russia.
Have people really forgotten Tice visiting the billionaires, and then bragging "We're going to take the UK out of the EU"?
It was a scam, a fraud, a crime, not just a 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲.
@Walrus The poor racist Brits got “tricked” into voting for Brexit? Gimme a break.
No different than the racists in my country voting for Trump. They knew what they were voting for. Maybe they were too stupid to foresee the terrible consequences. But they knew they were voting for punishing “others.”
Billionaires only get part of the blame. Most of it goes to the voters.
If you understood how the illegally targeted advertising on Facebook, Twitter, and other places was done, you would understand that they WERE tricked.
@Walrus Yep just like Trump tricked people. They thought they’d just be getting rid of “bad” immigrants. Instead they did serious damage to their own economy.
Even from this side of the pond, we could see the reason: xenophobia and bigotry. I have as much sympathy for “leave” voters as I do for Trump voters.
