His manner could be better. But it is truly depressing how fascistic and bigoted they are, what they claim to oppose. Severe case of projection. It's also depressing how utterly brainwashed they are into thinking that this globalist, neo-liberal, American backed attempt to homogenize Europe so it is easier controlled by Washington is seen as a progressive cause. Or even worse, they are shallow cynics who know that it is that and support it anyway. Even if we get Brexit through, these self-righteous, brainwashed authoritarians doing the bidding of establishment are everywhere. Where they are not full of zealotry and a complete lack of objectivity or reason, they are utterly self-satisfied, lazy minded and entitled.
I'm sandwiched between two generations, as a 35yrold at the end of X and beginning of the millennials- the cynics who benefit and have a manipulative stranglehold, and young people who are brainwashed, think they are progressive when in fact they are supporting the most oppressive, pro-Establishment thing imaginable. 'Old backward people' is such rot. If it was youngsters bemoaning the class system and they were republicans, against conservative older monarchists, I could at least get where they come from, though I may not agree. But actually this young generation of young people have been found to be very pro-monarchy, pro-tory, have more right wing views on benefits and the poor(despite more liberal ones on culture, homosexuality etc). In many ways for their age they are extremely politically conservative. What you are looking at is a new phenomenon, young people who fall into the young 'Tory remain' camp, they are all bought on the economics and the status quo and the big money interests and the poverty, so long as they get their Europe and their social liberalism. History may end up recording them as the most pro-establishment young generation ever, when you consider the global orthodoxy.
The impression is that we turn our backs on the world or Brexit is conservative(though in fact we are more open to links with the globe out of Europe), in fact remain are the conservatives supporting the global economic order, and Washington's wishes(and I think many are vulgar tranatlanticists, like our political class). As I say, they are all sold on the economics, so long as they get the cosmopolitanism and the social liberalism. Is why neoliberalism and globalism is such an immovable force, and so hard to break down. I am deeply suspicious of it though, so I voted leave. I know we haven't done a massive amount yet, but I am hoping it precipitates an end to the oppressive global order, and more power and democracy in the hands of European peoples, maybe other peoples.
Haven't these people wondered for one second why all the major financial institutions want this, why the Americans want this?
Haven't they considered how utterly hysterical they are in claiming that a democratic mandate for independence is 'fascist' or 'racist'. Would the Americans, or the Aussies, or Japan or China or India conduct their national debate on this woeful level? would they claim independence was racist or democracy fascist? No, probably because they have semblance of sense and patriotism left, and concern over national interests. I really think this is evidence of our tragic decline from past greatness, howe now exist as shills and a slave nation for Washington and the globalists. Just an iota of historical and global perspective and knowledge and looking past the propaganda would show people how ludicrous, hysterical and self-righteous they are being.
In a nutshell, hollow, brainwashed 'progressives' using fascist means to protest against 'fascist'(democrats) and doing the bidding of big finance and the globalist agenda, for world government and corporate dictatorship, and the people living in serfdom, so long as they get their cosmopolitanism, and social liberalism, and so long as the media is all well paid up and supporting the consensus with endless propaganda.
I am pleased leave won, but only to try and roll back against this, unfortunately we will need vast changes and seemingly there are depressing numbers of brainwashed, mad people.
