@scribus I think that’s a dangerous assumption to make for reasons that I don’t really feel like going into right now.

@scribus They’re the end result of a 40 year campaign by what is essentially state run media (or to be more accurate, a media run state) to overturn the previous referendum we had on joining the EU in the first place. Turns out it’s really easy to gaslight a populace when you spend decades ensuring they’ll never have the tools required to verify your claims.

@ceruleanspark it’s like the independentists took a page from the Bolsheviks who started that campaign in the ruins of the Russian empire

@ceruleanspark Boy oh boy am I glad America won't ever face a problem like that.
