In the UK, there is a growing group of people who voted for Brexit who are now claiming that they were not informed of what was going to happen.
The UK government sent a white paper to every household with their opinion on it.

Anyone with the mentality ‘this junk mail is more important that your junk mail sticker’ can go fuck themselves - similar behaviours in the physical realm include rape.

These people said they didn't care, and they're literally in the news saying "why didn't anyone tell me?" > similar behaviours in the physical realm include rape. There's stretching an analogy, and there's comparing junk mail to rape. This is a first for me.

Then they should either read the news or remove their no junk mail sticker? Attempting to suggest that political mail would have swayed brexit is stretching the analogy pretty thin, too.
