you're not so keen now on discussing brexit, despite several invitations to return to topic. no surprise there
OK brexit.
I wonder at which point we will diverge (although I suppose it is a given that we think of each other as cunts).
Your mate streathamite says what he or she has in common with you is a belief in class action.
Yet the line streathamite seems to have taken is that the pissed off were conned into brexit by mendacious forces who encourged them to blame the EU for the things that pissed them off. A great con if you like.
It is almost the Jesus position 'forgive them Lord for they know not what they do'.
So the next move is to build some kind of coalition or alliance to enable the pissed off dispossessed downtrodden class to fight back and build an ideal socialist future.
I think it is way too late for that.
All in the context that the brexit battle is over, and anyway politicians are paid to sort out the awkward details like (yes you guessed it) the Irish border and all the other stuff, and we need not be concerned any more about those details trust the state to be across all that.
Any divergence yet?
My approach is different.
I feel that to intimate to brexit voters that they were conned and didn't know what they were voting for is patronising. My stance is that brexit voters knew full well what they were voting for, that I think they are cunts for doing so, but that they won and should get on with it and own the problems and come up with the solutions.
People say that it is not reasonable to expect brexit voters to solve the problems they create. Yet some of them try with flaccid suggestions like the following.
We will have WTO rules, a deal, a border in the Irish Sea, an Australian Style immigration system, lorry parks in various places, no deal, it the EU want a border in Ireland then they can set it up, and a host of other wanky ideas say some of the Brexit winners. All the time the evil rich get more evil and more rich off the back of the chaos.
My response to all that is go on then, you won, make it happen if you can. My personal background noise is to be awkward, uncooperative and to heckle them as cunts every step of the way.
I certainly won't be saying there there poor thing, you didn't know what you were doing and deserve forgiveness and understanding. I am more likely to say you cunts have cleared the way for corrupt nationalistic reactionary racist forces.
I expect brexit voters to say something along the lines of 'so what? Tough if you don't like the rise of the far right because we fucking won!'
There you go, something to criticise and deconstruct to your hearts content. Don't forget the witticisms, the long words, the quotes from Shakespeare and the personal insults along the way.
