Like a lot of other political relationships today, the whole EU/UK Brexit situation reminds me of co-dependent, toxic, manipulative, and abusive relationships.

So now after berating and abusing and insulting and sabotaging the UK, and various stints of unhinged begging interspersed with threats; the depraved, abusive ego of the technocratic authoritarians of EU Brussels has to rationalize itself with "well, leave, you whore, you were dead to me a long time ago."

It's really rather sad, how toxic and evil the EU has become under that shiny veneer of fake gallantry and suave confidence. It is a shame that the EU was form the start imbued with an existential and systematic flaw that turned it into the authoritarian, anti-democratic, anti-self-governance body that loathes actual diversity that inherently requires separation.

The EU could have been such a great thing if it had just followed and adopted the original US Constitution, roughly pre-Civil War; a social compact reliant on mutual understanding and willing and voluntary participation, rather than on coercive authoritarianism.
