I’ve been trying really hard to be reasonable this whole time. It’s very difficult!

The other thing that’s difficult is to trying to explain exactly what the EU is and does. We usually suggest the closest analogue is NAFTA, but in reality it’s now probably more like the USA in terms of scope. If it was like NAFTA we’d…

He’d probably be a fun lecturer on Cicero, Roman comedy, and shit like that.

Wood in the frame. Wood in my pants.

Fuck off dude. Yes, we all know Gawker is (currently) owned by a liberal, but keep it in your pants. I know liberals around the world don’t have much to be happy about these days, but this is a place people come to get away from politics and focus on our shared passion.

Yeah, I generally enjoy Jalopnik and Raphael’s writing, but this tired-ass trope about the Brexit being all about racism is getting really fucking old. It’s lazy, sensationalist, and demeaning all in one neat bundle. I come to Jalopnik to read about cars, not to hear a tired straw man argument about international…

...the thing where old scared racist people in the UK want to keep brown people out of their country and think that ditching the shitshow that is the EU is going to help them with that.

The vast majority of leave votes, yes. Maybe they’re not necessarily bigoted, but this vote was primarily about being anti-immigrant. I’ve even met lots of people who immigrated to the UK 10-30 years ago who complain about how there are too many immigrants and voted leave.

We tried to tell them how to fix it but they didn’t want to listen. That’s why we ended up leaving. As I said to my work colleagues today, it’s better to be outside of the house when it collapses.

You know nothing about it, I’m afraid. Here’s a diagram of the legislative process of the EU. As you can see, it’s ridiculous. but to sum it up, the European Parliament has no authority to write EU legislation. The only body that has the authority to do that is the European Commission, which is appointed by the…

So all those countries the UK just fucked over will now rally to Britain’s side?

That is when nationalism extends to imperialism, like we are seeing in China’s land grab. Britain just doesn’t want the frankly destructive path that Europe is going down to be forced on them. You seem to be focusing on the negatives of pride in country, which you would undoubtedly point to Germany. However you could…

Why would Britain be irrelevant? And why France instead of Germany?

Yeah, it’s not like people are fed up with tens of thousands of unelected elitists taking taxpayer money (over 10'000 of them make more than the British prime minister).

I think the UK will be just fine. The rational world is tiring of this PC nonsense and unwelcome and ungrateful immigrants. Political theory also dictates that an overreach will result in a correction. The globalists have overreached and here comes the reaction/correction.

I’m sorry, not to start something here but why is nationalism such a bad thing? I live in the US. I LOVE this country. My descendants came from somewhere else (I’m a mut, so they came from everywhere). Not that other places are bad, but I love MY country. I have no problem when people love their country. If you had no…

How has nobody said an Ariel Atom yet?

really... no one?

If I could, eventually. TVR Sagaris. The suicide girl of the automotive world.

you mean the trunk?
