Major Brexit milestone achieved - no Brexit extension possible! Social media was alight last night with Remainers shedding yet more salty tears as yet another major Brexit milestone was passed - but now these milestones pass easily and without the drama of politicians conspiring and lawyers suing.

...aand there it is. So easily the contempt for the little people comes out.

"Oh, it's easier for me if I can travel, even though that's something that ordinary people can't afford! And the fact that this freedom of movement works the other way and greatly harmed the working class by putting them in competition with desperate people means nothing to me. Let them eat cake!"

Man, okay I’ll be honest I’m checking out of this conversation because I’m not gonna keep commenting on and giving attention to some far right nonsense 😂 I left Reddit because of the extremism in both directions 😊

It's not far right, but that sure is an easy slur to sling to avoid thinking about the causes of Brexit.

The working class never uses the "freedom of movement" and yet the upper middle class does. When the working class votes in its interest, the upper middle class is absolutely outraged and unleashes a torrent of bigoted, classist abuse as we all saw. You punch up, not down, and yet there were educated people with Ph.Ds shitting all over the little people in a fury of spite.

Honestly all levels of class use the freedom of movement and you do know that’s true but are pretending it’s not. TyanAir flies anywhere in Europe and has made travel across Europe easy. Brexit is only going to remove opportunities for the British, not create them. But I hope that that £350M a week thing sure works out once Brexit goes through because... well it’s not looking very likely 😂

What? That's not true at all. Working class don't use it; it's useless. It's like getting a tax break if you own stocks - worthless to the working class.

Brexit is only going to remove opportunities for the British

For YOU, do you understand? It is going to remove opportunities for YOU and your fellow sneering classist bigots. That you cannot understand that others see the world differently than you - isn't that the whole point of being "educated"? For the working class, it's going to mean less competition for jobs and higher wages as employers must improve conditions or go without.

Good god you’re unpleasant. I’m actually thinking of all the working class people in the UK who are offered jobs in Germany, Spain, Portugal, France and every other European country they might want to work in. I’m really sorry you’re so angry at the world and I hope over time you come to realise the awesome benefits of life in Europe :)

What working class jobs? There aren't any jobs for working class people in Portugal. Besides, who wants to leave house and home, and live in some weird foreign country where they don't speak English and the food smells funny?

YOU love doing these things. You don't speak for the people. You make the mistake of thinking you do, when all you're doing is making class warfare against the people who are hurting the most.

I’m really sorry you’re so angry at the world

There it is again. A refusal to take the argument seriously and dismiss it as some sort of irrational response. Angry at the world, give me a break. It's obvious that EU membership isn't just not in the interest of the people of the UK, it's not in the interest of a lot of the people of the EU, too. Do you think the selection of Von Der Leyen was the behaviour of a transparent, fair and accountable democracy? I don't, I think it disgraces the whole institution. It was what we'd expect from China or other pseudo-democracies.

I knew it wouldn’t take very long to ooze out the far-right racism you said wasn’t a part of this but slow clap man, we finally made it!

Anyways, aren’t people missing you over in Voat?

Are you going to stop slinging slurs and begin engaging in arguments? You're at the bottom of the Pyramid of Debate. Name-calling isn't an argument.

There were no slurs, you said needlessly racist things :)
