    Why aren’t the pro-brexit people being shamed? Stripped of their wealth and made to spend the rest of their miserable lives doing community service?

      uh, because it was a referendum of the people and 17 million xenophobic idiots voted for it.

            I’m not defending that way of thinking, it just seems to be what often happens.

            As an example, it took a lot of work to limit secondhand smoking in my country. I remember in the 90’s when cars and houses were sometimes thick with smoke, even with kids present, and even though people already knew the risks of secondhand smoking. People thought it was bullshit that they weren’t allowed to smoke inside bars and restaurants, on the train or while waiting for public transport. Everyone knew that it was wrong to subject other people to secondhand smoke but to a lot of people it was just the way of life, and therefore right.

            I can’t even remember the last time I saw someone smoke in public, and I think most people would consider it unacceptable to smoke around children, but it has taken decades to get to this point.

        True, but also the dimwits who didn’t vote at all only discovered their moral superiority the day AFTER the vote.

        Brexit was organic from Boomers in pubs with their anti European jingoism. They thoroughly fucked anyone under 40.

      I guess because most of them have taken their cash and moved away (like this Dyson guy for example)
