[QUOTE=Turnips5;50616394]hahah, you think that. I thought we were going to stay in the EU. the election of Trump and Brexit are events powered by the same forces. good luck anyway[/QUOTE] We figuratively have a factor that punishes candidates like Trump, it's called the non-white vote, Plus he's also been offending women too. Brexit =/= Trump
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;50616547]Trump becoming the US president ( even if that'll actually happen ) will probably end up having less negative effects than UK leaving EU[/QUOTE] Boy is that a low fucking bar.

[QUOTE=ratman;50614990]I've been joking with my ethnic friends through out the brexit that I'm going to have to hide them under the floorboards if the leave vote gets through, just like at the start of inglorious bastards. Never in my life did I think that there would actually be this much of rise in hate crimes and general xenophobia. Perhaps it is just the media are portraying it as though there has been a significant rise. Would be nice to see some statistics or graphs showing the increase in the last week.[/QUOTE] I'm fairly certain this is based on true stories of people hiding Jews during the holocaust (or at least I remember hearing about the concept somewhere before Inglourious Basterds). [editline]29th June 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Trebgarta;50616000][...] They are guilty by association. That is it. They didnt know any better is not a valid argument.[/QUOTE] I think a [I]much[/I] better way to say this is declaring them 'partially responsible', since there's (most likely) an indirect causal relationship between their actions and what's happening now. Saying they're 'guilty' is a bit much, considering it's a legal term and you're weakening the meaning of the word by applying it to matters that were neither directly intentional nor based on immediate gross negligence.

It's possible that they mistook something else for blood, or that they imagined it because his heart condition had incapacitated him.
Jesus, and I had the UK planned as a backup plan if Australia went downhill. Guess that plan is outta the park.

[QUOTE=Superkilll307;50618489]Its the teeth isn't it?[/QUOTE] Not sure. But I think it's due more to looking "foreign" than anything else.
[QUOTE=_Axel;50616667]If anything the Brexit result will remind American moderates that they shouldn't abstain if they don't want the extremists to win.[/QUOTE]This is a great point, especially since everyone was blaming old people for this when all the old people did was [url=https://medium.com/@seanomeara/old-people-arent-the-post-brexit-scapegoats-you-re-looking-for-e5aecc9c86d7#.p2xxawlrl]show up and actually vote while young people stayed home.[/url] Sorry, but the UK deserves this shit if the largest anti-leave demographic didn't even bother to show up. I've said the same thing in previous elections here, and I have a feeling I'll probably be saying the same thing with this upcoming election too.
Ladies, calm your titties Let's blame the vandalizer instead Or Trump
There's been pockets of racist groups all around England for along time now, don't act like it's just magically appeared out of nowhere because of brexit, remember the BNP? English Defense League? The groups we laughed at? It's only being reported now because of how torn the nation is over a non-binding vote anyway.

Now there are members of those racist groups acting as though the leave vote has justified racism, and people who've been quietly racist on their own thinking the same thing. The previously unacceptable has become acceptable.

Their entire campaign is predicated on "taking Britain back". Officially, they say that want to take Britain back from the EU (whatever the fuck that really means), but there is a very strong undercurrent of taking Britain back from immigrants who have supposedly flooded the country, taken their jobs, and erased their beloved British values and replaced them with dirty brown Sharia law.

You're the source of gems like "whale meat will the the future of cultured meat", "Chernobyl was a repurposed nuclear weapons plant", and "banks manipulate the markets for profit and screw everyone else over". When your outrageous claims are challenged, you simply double down on them and refuse to provide any further explanation as to why they should be valid points. Frankly I'm sick of responding to your posts. To respond to your point, just go and see one of the dozens of interviews with leave voters available out there that have them going "this isn't about the EU, it's about immigration". I can't be arsed to search for them now because that requires effort, and I don't want to waste any more energy dealing with you.

[QUOTE=Blizzerd;50622302]That makes it real?[/QUOTE] What makes it real is there being concrete evidence of the campaign pushing that narrative. Physical evidence is not subjective, there is no conspiracy at play when you can see the evidence for yourself.

I'm so glad that the country voted for what has essentially made racism OK in the eyes of a large number of people. It's disgusting.

The establishment for creating such shitty conditions in the UK Myself and other remainers for not campaigning beyond a few facebook posts. The EU for not endearing itself to the people more British culture for thinking we're so damn special and better than europeans EDL/Britain first types for using this as a way to vote against immigration Corbyn and Labour for losing the working class vote to UKIP Bob Geldof for making people think remain was only for champaign socialists and silver spoon fed asshats The fishermen for not realising their minister (Farage) did bugger all to protect them Pretty much everyone tbh.
