What a twat.
Obviously, those who are the target of this anti-establishment rage — political, economic, and media elites — are desperate to exonerate themselves, to demonstrate that they bear no responsibility for the suffering masses that are now refusing to be compliant and silent. The easiest course to achieve that goal is simply to demonize those with little power, wealth, or possibility as stupid and racist: This is only happening because they are primitive and ignorant and hateful, not because they have any legitimate grievances or because I or my friends or my elite institutions have done anything wrong.
Because that reaction is so self-protective and self-glorifying, many U.S. media elites — including those who knew almost nothing about Brexit until 48 hours ago — instantly adopted it as their preferred narrative for explaining what happened, just as they’ve done with Trump, Corbyn, Sanders, and any number of other instances where their entitlement to rule has been disregarded. They are so persuaded of their own natural superiority that any factions who refuse to see it and submit to it prove themselves, by definition, to be regressive, stunted, and amoral.
Good article. A friend of mine actually made similar points recently:I really recommend reading this fantastic article. It's kind of long but totally worth it. Basically, it's about how the political/media elites are actually causing their own downfall by insisting that the people who don't agree with them on everything are bigots who don't know what's good for them. This part really stuck out to me:
Again, I highly recommend reading the entire thing. It makes so much sense.

Bad enough he's a terrible reviewer and insufferable windbag as he is, but his idiocy and wimpiness is only making things worse. Ditto all those thinking he's in the right on that twitter feed.I'm never watching anything from this little loser ever again - Just another child unaware that the majority of adults who voted LEAVE were doing it for people in his age bracket and those close to it, as well - not to take shit away from him. That's the problem with these kids! They think the adults in the UK are taking stuff from them when they are only trying to help them - something the EU isn't doing for them, other than making them THEIR FUTURE SLAVES.
Don't be a future slave like Matthew Buck is proving himself to be with his lack of a real job worth being proud of having in society. Man up and pick yourself up by your bootstraps today!
John Kerry warns the EU about seeking "revenge" during the Brexit negotiations.
LOL! Yeah, good luck with that. It may not be "revenge", but anyone who believes the EU is going to offer the UK a 'velvet divorce' is kidding themselves. In reality, the road is going to be very rocky ahead, and this isn't going to be amicable.
Had to crosspost because I don't think I've ever seen John Oliver so bitter, and even on the reg he's more bitter than uncle teddy's
