really depends on region. brexit was for most of the country just wanting to do something anything different. Large amount of frustration with Londoners being condescending to them while the parts of the country they live in suffer from underinvestment
a very strong part of leave was the idea that Britain will never be respected in Europe because we aren’t on the continent and thus we’re better not being part of any pan european movement. Also Poland wanted out of the EU too at the time
I’m not denying racism was a part of it but it wasn’t all of it or even most. And it’s not like the idea of European brotherhood isn’t racially charged either
it has to do with the fact that London wanted to stay in the EU and the fact people were frustrated and wanted to try something different.
Hasn’t the UK become significantly poorer and had greater inequality since Brexit

Ireland’s pretty well respected in the EU
no they aren’t the only ones respected in the EU are France and Germany. EU couldn’t give less of a shit about Ireland although at the moment they are a useful way to get back at the UK. This is not the first time European powers have leveraged Ireland against England though they didn’t care about the Irish then and they don’t now. After a while they will once again lose interest in Ireland

also American elections are rigged anyway. Neither group of politicians really bothers campaigning outside their base they just both compete to rig the election so their base’s votes count more
no I’ve seen bush talk he is stupid. Bush didn’t get in trouble because he has manners. The establishment doesn’t hate Trump for who he is he’s an old money rich guy maing tax cuts and hating immigrants ffs he is the establishment. Trump gets in trouble because he has no filter and says things which make the American establishment look like a bunch of assholes in front of their society friends and in Europe
He is the most American president they’ve ever had and he’s just embarassing
Trump says that shit because it gets attention and he also hasn’t actually faced consequences yet and is very much on track to win the republican nomination and I wouldn’t rule him out for presidency

the prisoners dilemna in repeated encounters changes dramatically as well
also the prisoners dilemna takes two assumed self interested parties and places them in a zero sum situation where cooperation is disincentivised and uses that as proof humans are self centred. It already assumes the thing it is being used to prove
There are countless times humans have sacrificed themselves and their rational self interest for the benefit of another
