I didn't say that. I was saying; Me, someone who voted to remain can understand why others voted to leave because there are pros and cons of the EU. I was asking you, someone who is passionately anti-Brexit why you are so against it? To be extremely strong on an issue like this does suggest you are reading biased media, hence why I accused you of reading propaganda. 

Maybe because I do believe in the European project and don't support isolationist movements. The leave campaign was and is fueled by racism, so of course I won't support that, what kind of question.

You accused me of reading Nazi-like propaganda and even compared Modern Germany to Nazi Germany totally which completely downplays the atrocities made by the Nazis.

Don't go bringing up another country's past when yours has a stain of its own is all I'm saying.

The difference is there are still people alive to tell the tale of Germany's awful recent past  Plus a lot of us are descendants of a Germanic tribe... must be something in the blood

See, I don't believe a completely politically aligned Europe would do Europe any good. We have very different cultures across Europe and whilst I agree, we need unity... that doesn't mean we should sacrifice our identities in doing so. I also think a united army is not a good call, in fact I think it's a disastrous idea.

I think individual countries making deals and friends around the globe is far more important than creating a new super power that is willing to butt heads with other super powers.

That's your opinion and i disagree in all points.

And again you are germanophobe. Please keep your hatred for Germans elsewhere.

That's okay, I'm not going to try and convince you to change your mind. I just think the situation is no where near as black and white as some make it out to be 

I'm not a Germanophobe, you Britphobe

Well, except you are. In this discussion you brought german past, in another thread you were disrespectful to german language and then you brought an inappropriate quotations. Anyway don't bother to reply, because I simply don't care about your post anymore.

In that thread I said I'm impressed with how complex it was but it sounded weird... which it would be to someone who can't speak German (but I can if you like) 

I think even entertaining people who wish for others to suffer is inappropriate but here we are

The joke was that a lot of people from Britain are from germanic tribes... it was like a "woah if we play this game on how far we can jump back in history, y'all still in the poop."
