Greenwald calls-out the dominant Brexit narrative

164. Well said!

Neoliberalism created this underclass of uneducated resentful people, and then neoliberals are shocked when someone comes along and exploits that resentfulness. These people have been shat upon continuously by a financial system that has diverted virtually all the gains from their labor, but they're supposed to sit back and eat their fucking peas. Uneducated people don't know the best way to make their voices heard, but things eventually come to a boiling point and in their anger, they throw vulnerable people in society on the bonfire when they're ready to burn it all down. It's a shame, but it has happened so many times in history that it should be no surprise now. The peasants will not put up with being ignored forever. Economic problems often become masked as social upheaval. Widening opportunities and better distribution of wealth are the remedies for an intolerant society.
