Brexit, media coverage, neoliberals and all that jazz

The incessant Brexit bashing in German news websites, the glee and the false hopes that tiny Frankfurt will suck in huge chunks of banking/investment business from London, that the UK will and should suffer for their audacity to leave this holy temple of ultimate doom is a glaring indication what the EU is all about: alienating peoples, suppressing democratic referendums wherever possible, top-down decision making and, oh wow, abolishing roaming fees. Not to forget the on again-off again-on again road tax for German autobahns with the result of Austria showing their deep love affair with the Piefkes.

Neil Wilson posted an excellent comment on Bill Mitchell's post

The Left lacks courage and is riddled with inferiority complexes

in which he among other deals with the media coverage of the UK's Guardian newspaper.

The UK Guardian seems to be conducting a daily war against the Brexit outcome with its onslaught of articles each day about the doom that Britain faces if they do not reverse the decision.

In today’s edition, there are several anti-Brexit articles and in recent days we have seen predictions of that “Hard Brexit threatens global financial system”, “global economic growth at risk”, “brace for further Brexit price rises”, “UK at risk fo Brexit ‘catastrophe'” and so it goes.

The latest article (January 10, 2016) – The Brexit resistance: ‘It’s getting bigger all the time’ – is a pathetic, bleating story about Europeans who are worried they will be kicked out of Britain.

Neil Wilson's comment:

The activist Left is trapped in a false ideology that is rapidly becoming a religion.

It appears that the problem stems from the philosophy, which swallowed the neoliberal myth hook, line and sinker. So not only is the economics nonsense, but all the philosophical principles built on top of that are nonsense too.

The left cling to an Open Borders, One World, One Government, One currency viewpoint – extreme centralisation – run by elite, indoctrinated hierophants in perpetuity. Democracy is tolerated to quell the masses but really they don’t want any genuine democratic state at all. Tax is a statement of how morally pure you are – a religious devotion that shows sacrifice. Hence the obsession with taxing anything that isn’t nailed down. It is a purifying device to drive out sin – like fire was to the medieval priest. The poor are patronised in an act of virtue signalling rather than genuinely helped out.

But worst of all you are judged and categorised solely on prejudicial attributes rather than your own actions.

Until this insular entitled clique is ejected from the temple, progress is going to be difficult.
