Ironically the Vote Remain camp is far more backward than Vote Leave

Telegraph have an article basically saying typical Vote Leave voter looks like this:

and the typical Vote Remain voter looks like this:

At first glance, if asked who would you assume is "traditional, conservative, close-minded" you'd probably say the man, and conversely would assume the woman is "progressive, liberal, open-minded", but ironically it's the Vote Remain camp who are the more backward.

The reason being that the mindset that rules most of the Vote Remain supporters is the same mindset that has seen hundreds of species & human cultures become extinct throughout the millennia - an irrational fear of change and unwillingness / inability to adapt.

Vote Remain campaign is mostly about trying to debunk arguments of Vote Leave, rather than giving any substantial reasons why being in EU is a positive thing. Anyway, you can see both sides of argument summarised here:

What are you even saying? You are literally talking babble and trying to come across as like some intelligent critical thinker lol

I pose the same question to you - answer me how will Britain be if we stay in the EU?

It's easy to see how life would be in the EU but Britain leaving is mere speculations loosely based of certain assumptions here and there.

I'm not sure quoting the DM and then describing other people as backwards is the most convincing argument.

This has to be the mother of all ad hominem arguments.

We won't know how Britain will be if we leave the EU, but we do know what it's like now. The EU helps us so much and is indispensable. We're not a country that can survive independent of the EU like Switzerland can, no matter how much we'd like to think we are. We're just not that great.

Someone had a good video on here a couple days back basically about how women dont care about loyalty to the tribe and "will go wherever the strongest men are", which is one reason why you are seeing all the liberal and feminized political parties in Europe enacting policies to allow all these brutish immigrants into their countries.

Generally, yes. The average leave voter is more likely to be traditional and conservative than the average remain voter.

Open or closed minded? That depends. Have any opinion polls been done on the reasons as to why remain/leave voters intend to vote that way?

What fears are you thinking of and why do you think they are irrational?

Britain is the 5th strongest economy in the world. Switzerland is 20th. By your logic, if Switzerland can do just fine without the EU, then Britain would do fine multiple times over.

Stop making empty statements like "the EU is so great; it helps us so much" and start providing facts place.
