It's the Dictator Problem from game theory; in general, if humans feel like you're not getting an fair slice of the pie, they would rather destroy the whole pie and make sure nobody gets anything, than to accept their unreasonably small share, even though logic dictates that you should always accept whatever small amount you're offered, because the alternative is getting nothing at all.
Brexit is analogous to this, where a fair share of the population felt their slice of the pie was so offensively small that they'd rather destroy the system than to put up with it anymore.
- raxxorrax 7y ago> even though logic dictates that you should always accept whatever small amount you're offered I think this conclusion is invalid since it could be reasoned that by destroying the pie, a new one could prosper. So the logic is reductive because the model is. I wouldn't want to apply this here though.
