Geopolitical impact of Brexit

Ooh shock someone who calls out a community and says uncomfortable truths about it is mocked by it.

I've heard of an Italian by the name of Galileo Galilei who has suggested that the Earth may revolve around the Sun but the astronomer community has mocked his work so we should discount such heresy.

If that's your argument, you have no argument.

What a rubbish argument. Carl Sagan had something to say in the matter of this particular brainfart:

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

What a rubbish argument. Carl Sagan had something to say in the matter of this particular brainfart:

Your reading comprehension isn't very good is It? That would be relevant if and only if I had suggested he was a genius because he was laughed at.

Instead I said to not discount him just because he was laughed at, and instead to play the ball rather than the man. As you should with Galileo and indeed Columbus, Filton, the Wright brothers and Bozo the Clown.

Good grief. Your reading comprehension is really rubbish, ain't it? You did not understand a word of what Sagan had to say on this matter. Not. A. Word.

Comparing this moron to Galileo is an insult to Galileo.

He didn't. He compared you to an ignorant guy laughing at Gallileo. There's a difference.

I sense someone else also failing in the reading comprehension department. Probably an epidemic. Maybe someone has gone ... fuzzy ... in important parts of the brain?
