    Why is it better to be part of something? I hear people say that all the time like it should be obvious, but the concept repulses me.

      Practical outcome in the case of the EU?

      • Relaxed borders / Easy International Travel
      • Easy to go work in another country
      • Same currency (for most of it)

      Probably more but that’s what I can think of right now.

      Every time I hear about Brexit I’m reminded how 17 million people directly fucked up my ability to be part of something just to spite themselves. If you don’t want to be part of something then just take yourself and leave, don’t drag everyone else out too.

        If 17 million people don’t wanna be part of something, go be part of it yourself. Don’t drag everyone else in too.

        You played yourself.
