Democracy; I can't believe the majority have voted to leave the EU; voted for isolationism and what? Demonstrated a shallow set of values based on self interest and fear. I think, as I've explained in my previous post that through the EU we had a chance to put humanity first and combat the power of the market driven corporations that are driving growing inequality, and that this is a global problem, there's no quick fix; living in a fortress won't take us anywhere, we'll stagnate and rot in an incestuous bog pit; rising sea levels (because we'll be ineffective to control the global challenge of climate change) will flood the islands and then Britons will be the ones heading out to sea on makeshift rafts.
Who owns the planet anyway??
Idiots everywhere, look around you, the world is united, we are all connected, here am I sitting on a bed in Tehran, writing a post that could be read by people in countries all over the world - we are united - we can't go back to a feudal system of regional warlords (even if they are duly and democratically elected); we need to shape a future based on how we function in the world today, a world of machines and algorithms, a scary world where the rules are changing fast, so we need to think and act together to save humanity (and of course the planet).
Fuck
I'm scared.
When I return to the UK am I going back to a society of brainwashed morons? Will they even let me in? Will my non-British friends be exiled?
Cameron needs to resign, to go and dig a hole for himself and sit in it so that we can throw things at him.
I'm a grunt for God's sake, I pack books in a warehouse, I don't watch TV or read the papers, I observe and ask questions and seek truth and beauty, but I'm now thinking, who are these people, the majority, that have voted to leave? What are they seeking?
I want a dictatorship, we're out of options. I'd gladly be led by an enlightened dictator.
