ゴメンナサイ

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

because it seems like the whole brexit thing has a lot of issues going into it, not just scary brown people

No.... no... that's pretty much it.

The numbers Brexit claimed we'd save have been debunked and they're already recanting their promise to give billions to the NHS instead of the EU. Even before they won we all knew their numbers were bullshit. They were torn a new hole over their ridiculously inflated bus number. All the economic think tanks agreed that this would harm rather than help. So that wasn't it.

Regulations on items that can and can't be traded still apply because we must still agree to the exact same regulated guidelines to access the free market. That also covers part of the anti-migrant argument. Basically in all EU dealings we will still need to abide by the rules of the EU, including trade and commerce, which is mostly the only thing they regulated anyway. They weren't controlling our laws beyond the limitations of things like their bill of human rights which isn't exactly the pinnacle of bureaucracy. So it isn't that.

Did you have anything else in mind?

It was widely debunked very early and at every turn by economic experts, so it was pretty common knowledge. But people were told not to worry about it and vote with their hearts, or told the economists were like the Nazis (yes really, that actually happened).

calling people fascists and nazis is a very common cheap shot so i'm not surprised tbh

Yeah, but it was so egregious it needed mentioning. I haven't seen a worse use of it since people were claiming Obama care was a Nazi policy.

it's kind of hilarious considering ukip are actually more in line with the literal definition of a fascist party.

is it a cheap shot when it's true?

(and no, alt-right redditors, fascism is a right wing system, so "lefties" can't be fascists. think of another insult.)

i think it's a little silly to say the economists are literally fascists, myself
