Deserting Solidarity Will Lead to Disaster

I really wish the world would realize that when we "go it alone," we get ourselves into giant messes. Our civilization has advanced itself so far that we are capable of destroying our species and our home at the flick of a switch. There are lessons to be learned from history. The beginning of the Twentieth century saw advancements like nothing else before or as quickly in any period in our history, and in the same number of years, we came as close to destroying ourselves as we ever have. Do you know what changed?

Great leaders like Winston Churchill united us under banners as the European Union and the United Nations, and many others. These assemblies, partnerships really, brought a connectivity between nations, allowing communication to flow freely under the bedrock of democratic ideals. These organizations strengthened crippled nations, united themselves against outside threats, but most importantly protected themselves from each other. No one would dare pick a fight with the EU or UN because each was made up of so many other nations you would effectively begin another world war and be forced to go it alone.

The membership of first world nations like Britain, provided stability, because not only were these little countries now aligned with you to provide backup, but almighty Britain had your back, and her allies had your back as well. Unity saw the world through the reconstruction and realignment of the post world war era. Nations were crumbled, yet somehow they were rebuilt. Nations that went to war against each other twice within a half century worked together for a common goal, peace. Peace and security.

Going it alone in today's society, all so you can "have your country back" is the most selfish and ridiculous agenda in the current global society. It cannot be each man for themselves; society has tried that, and we have failed. We must work together if peace is to be endured. You cannot say you did not know, its happened before and it will happen again if we refuse to heed the lessons from history.

Brexit, A Day that Ignorance Won and Nothing More

Brexit

      Perhaps if we had talked about the purpose and the important history of the European Union before the political bodies began campaigning on empty promises, taglines, and the quick whims of modern rhetoric many of us would not be shaking our heads at the United Kingdom. Across the pond, many of us are again smacking our foreheads as the ill-informed population of our country begins to rally and jump on the bandwagon to this momentously stupid decision made by the majority of voters in the United Kingdom and our front runner to the GOP Presidential bid begins to politicize stupid once again.
      The purpose of the European Union was not to make a singular state, but to save the people of Europe and indeed the world from yet another World War that had occurred twice in less than half a century to a population of individuals who had mastered weaponry to the point that it indeed threatened the survival of our species. The European Union was a means to end all wars in Europe by establishing an open communication between individual states, to broaden security, and seek out diplomacy before sinking the world into another World War. By marginalizing the inescapability of unity, making it sound as if the UK was not standing on their own two feet, let us remember where that got us before.
       Why do we not learn from the past? Because we choose to ignore it and spin the present circumstances without looking back at the past. The Brexit is not a great day for Europe. Brexit is a day that Europe's security and the safety of the world are yet again destabilized by ignorance.

Thank you very much.
