Congratulations On The Brexit

The United Kingdom has stricken a blow against the forces of global hegemony, taking its leave of the Fourth Reich European Union rather than continue subsidizing other peoples and letting its own be trampled by parasitic migrants.

If the EU had a "strong" leader in the mold of Abraham Lincoln, he would call for the invasion and conquest of the UK. After slaughtering a large percentage of the UK's population (military as well as civilian), a century later he would be hailed as a wise and beneficent liberator. We're fortunate that this portion of history will not repeat, but we can only hope that the secessionist spirit will continue reasserting itself.

In the meantime, Scotland is hinting that it will secede from the UK only to join the EU. While I think this proves beyond doubt that Scotland is a pathetic welfare queen whose best and brightest citizens emigrated away long ago, this is nonetheless worthwhile because it is an exercise of sovereignty, right or wrong.

The bottom line is that a world of multiple, competing sovereignties is preferable to a world with a single, unrivaled hegemon. The EU was a push towards the latter. If diversity is so wonderful as we are constantly told, then let us apply it to geo-politics and keep nations plentiful and diverse.
