It’s almost like the disunity with europe is part of some targeted effort

We were making Russia a geopolitical ally. Russia decided to invade Ukraine. Appeasement met with backstabbing.

The bully that starts the war doesn’t need to be appeased to stop the war. They need to be defeated.

History tells this is the only way. Appeasement just drags the way out until the bully bullies again.

Attacking people for being misinformed

But, I was told people were not stupid and they knew what they were voting for. How dare I assume they didn’t understand the implication and how dare I think I know more about it than they did.

I understand your point that attacking people and calling them stupid wont “make them change their mind”. But they had the time to research and understand the implications before the referendum. They’ve had much more time now to go back over it.

Banging your head on the wall pretending it won’t hurt, doesn’t make you misinformed or need education. It makes you stupid and it needs to be called out. I don’t need to convince someone that banging their head on a wall will hurt.

Sadly, I do need them to stop banging their head on the wall. As it’s a shared house and we’ve all got to live here. Holes in the wall ain’t helping anyone.
