Economic Exile Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 A teacher I vaguely know referred to leave voters as the uneducated masses as she ranted about Brexit. I asked, "Seriously, you think over 50% of voters are dumb?" She replied yes they must be. I said to her that it must be awful to work in a failing profession which was turning out so many dumb idiots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSE refugee Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The left are in big trouble,more and more working class and minorities are veering to the right.

Where I work,most of the big Union men don't really believe in any of the left wing guff anymore. The penny has finally dropped and they realise that being born in the UK has no cachet with regard to left wing politics. There is no left-wing politics of significance in the UK. People are abandoning the traditional parties of the left because they have abandoned the traditional politics of the left. The 'diversity' obsession is just an attempt to distinguish themselves from the all the other right-wing neoliberal parties. They're the ones that who get sad about refugees, whilst they ramp up tuition fees, make debt slaves of the working classes and sell everything in sight to the Chinese. The Brexit vote was not a left-right issue, ideologically. Europe never has been. It's largely been a battle between different right-wing factions: neoliberals, who are obsessed with globalisation and trade; and true conservatives who believe in society, tradition and the nation state. In recent years actual proper conservatives have been as marginalised as actual proper socialists. 'This village used to be lovely, now the little shop is a Starbucks, the local jobs got taken by the cheap polish workers, and all the nice young people left to work as investment bankers.' 'Well that's socialism for you.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'This village used to be lovely, now the little shop is a Starbucks, the local jobs got taken by the cheap polish workers, and all the nice young people left to work as investment bankers.' 'Well that's socialism for you.' Foreign policy is the give away. Globalist neo liberals dress up their economic and political aims in 'diversity' drag so they can accuse their opponents of being racists etc. However, the touchy, feely charade begins to dissolve when it comes to applying these objectives to nations such as Russia, Iraq, Syria and Iran which are resisting the agenda. Then bombs and blood are required usually in the name of delivering democracy to these benighted lesser breeds without the law. The fact that imposing neo liberal political and economic policies on foreign countries is essentially just another version of the old imperialist idea of the white man's burden is never mentioned. Nor is the fact that the policy is more inherently racist than any nationalist political agenda which at least is normally confined to one country. When the likes of Hilary Clinton, Tony Blair or Hillary Ben start pontificating about more intervention in Syria etc you can guess for whom they are working. The fact that Robert Kagan a leading neo liberal and one of the founders of the Project for a New American Century is backing Clinton not Trump tells you all that need to know.

Then hopefully they can step into the Pole's shoes once they get their Humanities degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wherebee Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Definitely more idiots on the leave side. Of course intelligent reasons for leaving too held by some. But lots of idiots. I disagree. I think the remain side had more people voting on pure emotion and belief in lies/lack of data on how the EU actually works. See the video of that girl who thought the NHS was due to the EU. The leave side has more people who voted on their personal experience of the EU - industries such as fishing - or experience of mass immigration of EU / other workers. I think the leavers had more of an objective truth to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leave side has more people who voted on their personal experience of the EU - industries such as fishing - or experience of mass immigration of EU / other workers. I think the leavers had more of an objective truth to go on. Indeed. It's so disingenuous of the re-moaners to cry rasist, thick, misled, ignorat bigots when most people would have voted for the status quo (if indeed there was a status quo). The probability was on remain because that's what people know. The fact that they didn't speaks volumes. Also the title of the thread is a bit naughty. If you read what Hawkin said he was having a go at how the people with money and power see money and possessions. Not the poor. Does money matter? Does wealth make us rich any more? These might seem like odd questions for a physicist to try to answer, but Britain’s referendum decision is a reminder that everything is connected and that if we wish to understand the fundamental nature of the universe, we’d be very foolish to ignore the role that wealth does and doesn’t play in our society. Wealth not money or lack of. Interestingly this attitude, for a long time seen as the predictable eccentricity of a Cambridge academic, is now more widely shared. People are starting to question the value of pure wealth. Is knowledge or experience more important than money? Can possessions stand in the way of fulfilment? Can we truly own anything, or are we just transient custodians? Does he read HPC? If we fail then the forces that contributed to Brexit, the envy and isolationism not just in the UK but around the world that spring from not sharing, of cultures driven by a narrow definition of wealth and a failure to divide it more fairly, both within nations and across national borders, will strengthen. If that were to happen, I would not be optimistic about the long-term outlook for our species. That's a message to the rich not the poor.
