Is Brexit rooted in deep psychological white-guilt?

[NeoBasilisk]

I do think white guilt or "SJWs" or whatever you want to call it did have an effect here. For many people, even hearing the suggestion that immigration should be more regulated or restricted will result in automatic charges of racism or bigotry. This turns some moderates off and pushes them farther in the other direction as a backlash. You only needed this to happen for 2% of the voters and boom suddenly your country has just exited the EU and started huge financial downturns. All because they weren't even allowed to have an open debate about immigration policy.

I remember when everyone said Australians were racist for trying to stop boat people.

Well WHO IS LAUGHING NOW.

Yeah I know. Is there a profession "bringer of foreign currency"? And, if being serious, I don't think it saddens "the entire world". The entire europe, that I can believe.

I don't think you actually read his post, why are you talking about things that you don't understand?

^^Thijss probably means the tourists who bought British Pound right before its value dropped due to the brexit.

Btw, according to the UN, the UK is one of the largest sources of migrants in the world, right after Syria. It's actually the only developed region in the list.

If you're over 40 you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I think if you're under 24 you shouldn't be allowed to vote. The frontal lobe isn't fully developed and the ability to think logically and conceive abstract concepts is heavily impaired.
