Addendum the #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBiasIToldYouSo #BehaviourSmugness tenor of this tweet strongly suggests a #OtheringCaricatureBrexitBrexiteer perspective. Put bluntly, who benefits from wishing ill of the EU? Such characterisation also evokes a metaphorical othering exemplified by the #PhenomnBrexit #CatchcryLoveEuropeButNotEU, where #ToponymEuropeUKEngland_ was (erroneously) understood to be separate from #ToponymEurope, creating a distinction (evoking #MetaphorSpatialTerritory_ symbolism) where #ToponymEuropeUKBritishIsles and #ToponymEuropeContinental are framed as being wholly distinct (and so incurring no impediment through their divorce). This reminds me of #IRLScholarGeorgeLakoff's #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT analysis as per: "Consider Brexit, which used the metaphor of 'entering' and 'leaving' the EU. There is a universal metaphor that states are locations in space: you can enter a state, be deep in some state, and come out that state. If you enter a café and then leave the café, you will be in the same location as before you entered. But that need not be true of states of being. But that was the metaphor used with Brexit; Britons believed that after leaving the EU, things would be as before when the entered the EU. They were wrong. Things changed radically while they were in the EU" (23 July 2016). http://george-lakoff.com/2016/07/23/understanding-trump-2/ #PoliticsNationalismRomantic
