Netherlands is pretty nice I think (although they have some language requirement thing.
Taiwan recently elected a death metal/black metal (band is kinda in between) singer to their government so that automatically makes it pretty cool. I'd move there just for that

Well I am newb when it comes to politics and economy but I imagine leaving EU wouldn't be trivial form netherlands since they'd have to invent new currency, so I hope they're too committed to EU to actually leave.
vvvvvvvvvvv that's too. Just memeing

We're def not going to leave. Wilders' PVV has a decent following, but there's very little growth possible in that direction. Not enough growth to give him an absolute majority, and the odds of him getting into a coalition are minute (he already bailed out of a coalition before with parties that were more open to him). There are other parties who are EU-skeptic but they prefer to stay in and force change from within.
Another problem is the structure of his political party. It has only one member, Geert Wilders. Even the people who are members of parliament for his party are not allowed to be party members. This means he has full control of the party program and ideology, and the electorate has zero say in it. A very autocratic structure for a "Party for Freedom"
But then there is a problem, most parties here get their money from contributions from members and subsidies. Wilders' PVV only has the bare minimum of subsidies, and no contribution from members. So the entire financing structure of his party is clouded and there are links to both Russia and Israel for funding of his party.

Really the problem is as Nafta said earlier. Democracy is basically now who can tell the most lies and use fearmonging the best. The issue is when you do this for so long that the population doesn't vote for their best interest it creates a cycle where even if you get power as soon as you try correct the sinking ship a new crazy guy comes along with the same tactics and ousts you.
The UK basically voted to dissolve the UK. Well I guess England and Wales can have fun times together. I doubt they'll crash and burn but for now the short term effects is going to be pretty devastating, it's about how well they control the spiraling fear and chaos. I think they can do fine in the long run. The most likely thing to happen is they negotiate basically the same trade deal they have now with the EU but as an entity outside. That's what Switzerland/Norway have I believe. I could be mistaken but I think they have open borders to workers in that case anyway. Another issue is the fact that they now have to negotiate with the rest of the world. Man I don't get why people made this snap decision now instead of creating an actual forum for discussion where they could plan what to do. Are people just that power hungry they'd rather use population fear and mistrust to gain power?

Having a degree doesn't magically make your opinions on politics/real life better.

Education helps deal with poverty which in turn improves standard of living which I hope means that people are more likely to think through their decisions as it's no long a matter of surviving each day. Our standard of Education is so bad. We have this incredibly lopsided system where our private institutions are really good but then the average education the population gets is absolutely awful. Last year for matric finals we had a massive scandal were one of the venues here in KZN was caught cheating. The teachers were standing up at the venue dictating the answers to everyone. They got caught because the guys wrote word for word what the teacher said.
Hell we just had Rioting about cost of tertiary education. Guess what people did? They burnt down a whole campus in Bloem. They are upset it's so costly so they burn down and destroy one of the few places we have thus making sure no one in the area gets to be educated or raising the price. Education helps a lot. It maybe doesn't stop the crazy completely but it sure as hell makes it tamer.

correlation causation etc.
education is not what helps, it's a symptom.
as for the UK, excited about the backpedaling to keep the priviledges with the EU, which means brexit does practically nothing but remove britain from the decision making process. it's a win for the EU since now nobody has to put up with their whining anymore.
alternatively they could just implode, also possible i suppose.

I have a feeling everybody over here is going to be happy to see the pound tank in value.

In other news. Now I question if I'm attracted to a bunny. Fucking Disney man. Why is this movie so good. That little nose thing is adorable.

Zootopia: We're all furries now.

A friend got mad at the movie's ending. + Show Spoiler +Both ending together was so unecessary for the story, and yet so phoned in, he was kinda upset Disney went with that as if it was a forced step.
