Re: Any thoughts on Brexit?
I agree with the Tribalism statements. Very much a "my group" is the best mentality. Things are not that good so the solution most see is to go back to "my way". We can't go back and the past was very different than the present, especially the post WWII to 1980s where the industrial capacity was built up.
Going to isolated states is definitely not the long term solution. And in the short term will also bring a lot of pain.
People cannot face the reality that there are no easy solutions and to often vote with something other than a real practical outlook.
