    Inside me there are two wolves. One thinks the EU is a horrible imperialist tool for enforcing neoliberal orthodoxy. The other one thinks it is hilarious to see British gammons throw tantrums about no longer enjoying the practical benefits of EU membership after having left the EU.

      It’s like when chuds complain about US funding for NATO. Like, by all means, dismantle a mechanism for laundering US power projection. Let’s stop funding Radio Free Asia next, those bastards haven’t been revenue neutral since they were founded.

      The thing is in Britain especially you still get all the neoliberal orthodoxy except now you’ve also got rid of the EUs human rights convention and seeing how their dumbass country’s basic laws are founded on ass-pulls like time immemorial, a tapestry and 800 year old contracts they’ve absolutely fucked themselves out of all the good parts of the EU while retaining all the bad parts of the EU

      Exiting the EU to not do neoliberalism is one thing, exiting the EU to do even more neoliberalism is just kneecapping yourself
