    so you dont know then.
    Watch Brexit: The Movie. It’s not my job to hold your hand when you enter a discussion you know nothing about.
    You said the the EU was undemocratic but can't substantiate that claim. 
    It's ok to say you don't know or are unsure!

    What’s your fucking point? Do you ever have one? How stupid would someone have to be to think that arguing both sides of an argument is stating both that democracy is evil and an example of a totalitarian bureaucracy is undemocratic? You’re not stupid, so you can’t possibly be saying anything like that, but then we’re left with no reason to be posting that.

    You. And him, by the way. Watch the goddamn film, coward. The EU is undemocratic by design and always has been. There are simply not just two choices–democracy and totalitarianism–available.

    I can't, it's been blocked.  Someone told me, and they're never wrong.

    Why are you complaining and being snide about the EU's democracy if democracy is so evil?  What's your fucking point?

    There’s your problem. You believe in the infallibility of man.

    It’s called ‘not wanting lies to be spread’. Moral relativists can’t comprehend this.

    I'm pretty sure even you, the master of willful contradiction, don't believe either of these things. So why are you deliberately making yourself look stupid?

    You got me. I don’t believe in truth.

    Makes those sentences a bit problematic, though, doesn’t it?

    So your argument is the EU is undemocratic because a film said so. Well that's me convinced! Phew thanks for that!!

    You should watch it, it's a riot. Kelvin Mackenzie frothing at the mouth about the injustice of it all entertains me no end.

    One of the funniest post-Brexit moments was getting into a discussion with a "Leave" voter who then proceeded to tell me that the EU was fundamentally undemocratic because he didn't recall ever having voted on anything. 

    I was incredulous. This fecking MORON voted "Leave" because "Undemocratic!" and was completely ignorant of the fact that he'd been able to directly elect the EU parliament since 1979! 

    The problem with democracy is that it depends upon citizens taking responsibility and edumacating themselves. What happens otherwise is idiocracy — which is not just a movie, but American dystopia.

    Of course I'm wrong. Your persuasive argument backed up by unimpeachable evidence has convinced me you are the Oracle of truth, the new messiah and quite possibly the kwisatz haderach¡
