http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/27/opinions/western-world-after-brexit-vote-zakaria/index.htmlI found this video rather interesting on the entire thing. Both with Brexit and the rise of populism in general.
None of those kids in that video have real jobs. None know what its like outside of their parents house or college campus.

None know what its like outside of their parents house or college campus.It's amazing how many people I know at university who have never had a job. Meanwhile I've had three. And most of them get the same amount of maintenance as me, so their parents aren't well-off; I have no idea how they manage to pay for shit.
"I thought America were the people that were so filled with hate"Fuck you, you stupid fucking cunt. Can't stand liberals.
I'm assuming that most of these people actually voted, though, no?

I was just assuming that most of the youths complaining like that did actually vote. It takes a certain amount of political engagement to sit around in political groups and complain, so I figured they'd at least vote. I'd say it makes sense that those making a fuss about this on twitter are just part of the vocal and very engaged 37% who did vote.

It seems that there is going to be considerable remorse and regret among those who voted for Brexit without really understanding what it meant.Why is it that almost everybody who wants to comment on this has the pathological urge to pretend to know more than they reasonably can?
Basically this:
My guess would be because there is a large sentiment of regret now.
Ya know, that generation that always fucks shit up.

I don't even know what it means to be patriotic anymore, which is why I don't care.I'm critical of my country because I'd like it to be a great place to live for everybody. If that's patriotism, then I guess I'm a patriot. Too many people seem to think that criticism of one's own country is unpatriotic, though. I think that's retarded.I think it's more patriotic to admit that you live in a shithole than it is to claim you live in the greatest country ever.
