how does anyone articulate anything in this area given how thoroughly enclosed it all feels and how even the things in it that are real are embedded in this sort of discursive sludge of ideological bullshit so many levels deep
everything in the above post is true but there's no denying brexit has materially made everything much worse both in its immediate wake and apparently indefinitely and as much for its symbolic / ideological flexibility as the actual legal bullshit it's means supposed to mean on paper at any given moment (ie it's impossible to know where it ends and the general rightward fashy trend begins). "remain" should be considered part of the larger catastrophe of "brexit" here (I make no sense to people when I try to say this irl) which is in many ways a fairly typical british catastrophe but I wouldn't want to understate the catastrophe part
