> [@ombugge](#): > > No. I’m a facts and logics activist. Are You ??? So says Soros. FACTS Facts without a framework with which to interpret them, do not constitute an argument. !!! Facts do not ‘speak for themselves’. They need to be analysed, explained and provided with a context. Otherwise they are, quite literally, meaningless. Facts can be manipulated and there is certain “logic” in it One is facts and logics activists for some and for OTHER facts MANIPULATOR. I am paraphrasing your logic regading “freedom fighters” & " terrorists" from your other smart posts 😜 ---

In cult mythology all of Europe is a socialist hellhole, ready to fall apart tomorrow. That’s why the cult got so emotionally invested in Brexit. Europe was dragging Britain down, they said. The opposite was true. The average Briton now thinks Brexit was a mistake because since then the EU’s economy has fared much better than Britain’s. Britain’s economy tanked. That’s why they ran through so many prime ministers after Brexit. A lot of cult members have never been to Europe. They just listen to whatever youtube video/podcaster has caught their fancy, and those commentators keep pushing the myth that Europe hates America and is a hellhole.

Excuse me I am an average Brit. I voted remain. The following day I was screaming at the TV shouting " It’s f££k all to do with you now we are out. Democracy, the majority voted leave.
