Скачать или смотреть Mindset of a Brexiter

Here in Europe Brexit has been in the forefront of our consciousness. Not a day goes by that there isn’t a Brexit article in the newspaper, and often there are two or three. The young and cosmopolitan wanted to stay in the European Union. The old and island-oriented wanted out. It’s a tale of urbanisation, of moderns empires, of generations, of social classes… It has been called a Greek tragedy.

You probably remember how the Brexit advocates were quite surprised when they won. The victors were more confused than the losers. Suddenly they were burdened with a responsibility for what they wanted the UK to go towards, specifically. They had been thinking mostly of where they wanted the UK to move away from. Their ideas about what to move towards were vague (Make the British Empire Great Again!). Nigel Farage of the UKIP was facing an existential crisis, when the only reason for UKIP’s existence, getting out of the EU, was actually achieved. Achieving your goals can be a dangerous thing.

In one sense the Brexit is beautiful
First of all, let me mention a frame that – to my great surprise – has been totally absent from the discussion. Here we have an empire, called the European Union, where one of the major provinces – the UK – wants to leave. And there is no hint of war. A huge area leaves the empire by democratic means. Caesar would have sent the legions. Napoleon would have returned from Russia. Hitler would have tripled the Luftwaffe. And all the European leadership did was pout and say it was a challenge for Europe. Isn’t that beautiful, historically speaking? If I were British, this response alone would be a reason for me to remain in the EU.
