"he voted to fuck his own son over"
Now, that was both emotional and irrational.
- madaxe_again 10y agoSo, despite his sons residency and employment both being dependent on the uk's continued membership of the EU, you think this was a rational, kind decision?
- guard-of-terra 10y agoI don't think they're dependent on the UK's membership of the EU that much. First, there's plenty of people not from EU who participate in European research on European grants. Think Russians in CERN and so on. Second, secession from EU doesn't mean freedom of travel will be thwarted for scientists. UK was already not on Schengen, so what? At worst they'll have get a visa every few years. In short, that person might consider that his son will figure it out. Regarding "kind" - "kind" is irrational. Rational is often not kind and kind is often not rational.
- madaxe_again 10y agoHe's at a European university on an EU grant via a British institution. It's hard to see how that would continue. There was no rationale behind his leave vote other than the EU being the "empire of evil" that we must free ourselves from for freedom. Same applied to everyone else I spoke with that evening.
