Well, there's indeed a bit of a generational problem here. I've read that young people were ~ 75% pro-remain. But in old Europe, their whole generation is apparently too small to influence the outcome on the whole (!).
We don't know how this will turn out yet, but there might well be less opportunities for young people.

Edit: Now this petition is almost at 2 million...

This is like... one of the greatest weekends of my life.

Brexit has turned the liberal media into a gigantic, childish mess.

For example:

http://www.slate.com/

1. The Best of British "Leave" Voters Realizing They've Made a Huge Mistake
2. Small but real possibility Brexit will never happen.
3. Embattled Whiteness Gave Us Brexit. It won't give us President Trump.
4. Popular support for the institutions of liberal democracy can no longer be taken for granted.
5. How the EU blew it.
6. Independence Day: Resurgence is the perfect disaster for our stupid times
7. Why Immigration Pushed Britons to Brexit (It's Not ONLY about Race)

The shear amount of assumptions in the headlines along is hilarious. Even when liberals lose, they still can't admit it was their fault. "Democracy is dying" ... when a democratic vote tells them they lost. "Everyone is stupid." "Everyone is racist... especially those 'whites'." "We lost, but we won't lose that thing we fear even more!"

It's really becoming apparent how insanely fearful liberal leaders and journalists are. That somehow, gigantic governments are the only solution, and the ONLY THING that somehow protects democracy, liberty, and provides jobs. It's an entire generation of children who have never been weaned off sucking the establishment's teats. An entire generation of alarmists who call themselves "progressive" but are really fearful of any actual change.

You would think from the amount of fear and complaining that they voted to dissolve the ENTIRE government of the UK, and not just leave a membership.

One of my favorite complaints of theirs is, "The people who voted, won't be alive to live and endure the consequences!" Even though like... "30 years old" is considered senior by this little douchebags, and that the opinions of all these people who are basically the entire backbone of the country in terms of experience and skillsets, are someone morons who are too dumb to listen to the 18-to-22-year olds being pushed by their liberal arts professors.

And the absolutely, most delicious part? As mad, whiny, and LOUD as this children are, as old as time itself, they couldn't be bothered to go to the voting booth so their opinions didn't matter at all. If they could have been bothered to pickup a history book, they would have known and adapted--but that's a perfect analogy for their stances: Completely inexperienced and subject to emotional manipulation by governments and corporations.

Things are going to keep on going. The world won't end or collapse. Brits don't need a European government to protect and provide for themselves. They're not morons. They're one of the most powerful, skilled countries in the world. And they should be allowed to make the best decisions for their country without consulting other countries.

The small, liberal media source* I use didn't have sensationalist headlines: "Britain Stuns World by Voting to Leave the European Union".

Maybe I should use a better one... I'm not being a good liberal boogeyman.

*: I also have BBC and NPR feeds, but they're slightly left at best. And the local newspaper feed is irrelevant...

Although refraining from voting does no favors, voting means essentially nothing. In the case of America, it simply does not matter if you vote, because those who actually present issues to legislators aren't you or me. They vote with money. The Princeton study on the support of legislation compared to wealth is incredibly depressing.

The only way for the 'non-elite' to influence legislation is organized movements with clear goals. Sadly, after the success of such movements in 50s and 60s, the benefactors of the status quo have become more successful in countering such things...

OMG
I always think "But people can be THAT stupid"
Guess what....

Now the promises fall to pieces. EU contributions going to the NHS? Oh, err, "one of the big mistakes of the leave campaign".
Shutting the doors to immigration? "Errr, we want to remain in the single market and that means, the workers will get in. I mean those who want to work."

The promises of those liars and demagogues didn't last longer than 2 days. Economic problems the remain-side predicted? Well, have a look around you.

I got my thoughts deeper recently. Unless UK somehow manages to workaround the referendum the way Greece did, EU will punish UK badly, they have to.

Should UK thrive outside the EU, without any bad economic consequences which will be a clear result of the exit other countries may want to follow suit. And the opposition will love to use UK as an example, overthrowing(albeit democratically) the current powers on the way.

So, in order for current line of politicians of the EU to remain in power, UK must suffer. Another thing, is that if UK won't suffer EU is likely to breakdown further, thus making both UK, and itself(and hell, all world from western south America to eastern north Siberia) to suffer from the outfall because of further EU dissolution.

Conclusion? Brussels WILL make London suffer. They have to, or it's the end. Or maybe I just love House of Cards too much. But my above guess really makes good sense. All that is required is to be selfish during the negotiations, and not let UK have any favorable ones.

Append:
Oh well..

When the older British die off, the millennials can push for a vote to re-join the EU (if the EU still exists and doesn't intend to hold a permanent grudge). Until then, remain crowd should stop crying about how it affects them "more" than the older people. The older people have and deserve a say, and the majority has spoken.

I think the background music of that video should have been by John Lennon - Imagine. Mostly for the irony...

AND THIS IS ANOTHER BREXIT FROM THE EURO, CUP THIS TIME !!

Britain 1 - 2 Iceland

It seems to me that you're taking extreme liberty in interpreting the intent of the "fascism" label. Why muddy the waters? Why do you think you have a better handle on those "buzzwords"?

Was the fade to Nigel Farage(?) meant to be some unassailable truth? The final word? Consider that you're talking about social and economic policies interacting with innumerable measures of individual differences. Just seems to me that "the world as your oyster" in part means freedom of movement, to shift and pivot without too many issues. I detect a bit of irony.

How do you know the "kids" are spoiled especially given you're separated by an ocean, and you don't know their personal realities and how they perceive the future? I suspect that their world has changed, even if just in theory, unlike you've perhaps ever experienced.

Presumably, stating the blatantly obvious, the democratic process allows for the opposition to continue the discussion until the next election/referendum. Was the "right" silent on Obama's victory over the past eight years? What matters is whether the ongoing discussion is thoughtful. The process should always be self-critical, dynamic, and not static. Or, do you prefer sheep in a democracy?

I ask these naive questions because I'm genuinely puzzled by the perceived stake held by outsiders. NWO?

[In truth, I believe you have zero answers. Rather, it seems you have taken irrational joy in the misery of millions whether it be real or imagined. At the moment, I suspect it's very real.]

Surely more old people vote for what they believe to be best for their children, than vote against it.

Interesting stuff. Also amazing how disrespectful, childish, and disruptive the fellow member state's representatives are.

I think you can glean a lot from an organization or group of people, by how they treat members who are planning on leaving.

p.s. Damn, I love a good British orator. Britain's best are so above the rest of the world's best in that regard.
