Monthly Musings: March 2019

An overview of opinions and observations for the month.

Will Brexit Ever Happen?

It's amazing how many people still insist on challenging a democratic vote on the basis that 'perhaps' the outcome is not representative of the current political bias.

It was a democratic vote. The majority voted to leave. How hard is that to comprehend?

What amuses me most is the conflation of mainstream media's biased reporting as being representative of fact. Because as we all know, mainstream media are nonpartisan and definitely do not push false narratives that support the interests of the minority in power (lol topkek).

Also the notion that those who voted in favour of Brexit are 'scared' that their vote will be dismissed in the event of a second Referendum is laughable. There is no "fear". There is anger and frustration. Democracy means that people have a voice; using delay tactics long enough to push enough scaremongering narratives through mainstream media to sway public opinion does not mean that a Second Referendum would be any more representative than the original one. It just means instead of "people voting to leave because they believed the lies" about the benefits Brexit could deliver, it would be "people voting to stay because they believed the lies" about the damage Brexit could entail.

Apply the same logic to any democratic vote and you'll see how contrived and redundant the argument of a Second Referendum is. The logical fallacies employed by the mainstream media are transparent if you pay attention. Any democratic vote could be swayed if you spent two years relentlessly hammering the voters with biased reporting and false equivalencies, in an attempt to brainwash them and grind them down to apathy.

Democracy is not democracy, unless a democratic vote is honoured. Brexit was democratically voted for.

Brexit needs to happen.
