Also a cautionary tale about the effectiveness of external destabilization efforts.

    Dont underestimate the role straight up racism played in the brexit vote. It wasn't just foreign propaganda, and much of the propaganda was enabled by racism.

    It was interesting, as a non-European, to see the explosion of anti-Eastern European racism that happened in the UK in the lead-up to and after the Brexit vote.

    There were a bunch of anti-Polish posters and incidents of harassment and violence that occurred about the time period. Being anti-Polish in particular, at least for somewhere like the UK, seems so bizarre to me.
