"On Acid"
has become a kind of unimaginative shorthand for "but kerrazy!!!11!" of late but in this case DuffGardens has a real point. One of the funniest things about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the way he takes his hallucinations so seriously:
Terrible things were happening all around us. Right next to me a huge reptile was gnawing on a woman’s neck, the carpet was a blood-soaked sponge—impossible to walk on it, no footing at all. “Order some golf shoes,” I whispered. “Otherwise, we’ll never get out of this place alive. You notice these lizards don’t have any trouble moving around in this muck—that’s because they have claws on their feet.”
and you just know Dyer's complaining would push exactly this comedy button. He'd be overwhelmed by simple things and it would be wonderful.

yes i didn't mean on acid as in a whacky version
literally on psychedelics and struggling with a simple concept - i think it was when he said Brexit is a "mad riddle" that gave me the idea. you dont wanna describe things as a mad riddle if you want to be taken seriously. (unless you're on acid ).

It's nice that we all got this Brexit shit out of our collective system.
Have we all stop giving a shit, or are we just tired of calling each other racists / libtards?

No. Remainers are determined that it doesn't, and will do anything to make sure it fails. The worst of both worlds looms. Still, you've really shown those thick old pricks with their poxy blue passports, eh Benny? You told us so, didn't you love?

Believing that something is unlikely to be successful
is not the same as going out of your way to encourage it to fail.
I think you'll find there are very few remainers who actually want their country to get all fucked up, but I understand they're a convenient scapegoat in the event they turn out to have been correct.

Are you more or less likely have a good deal in a negotiation if you don't believe one is possible?

Thank goodness for that.
Pulling your pants down and presenting your bottom like an in season baboon was never going to do us any good.

It’s got about the same chance of delivering a successful outcome though.

That's the spirit. That's what I love about remainers, their unwavering negativity. You are all weirdly conservative too; a future beyond the EU is inconceivable to your massive brains.

Brexit: The only topic where pragmatic realism is considered a character flaw.

You're the only person who thinks private Frazer was a pragmatic realist.

I think you'll find very many remainers would be delighted to settle with a fudged compromise where we remain in the customs union and have full alignment with EU regulation vis à vis trade. Worst possible outcome.

The worst possible outcome is almost certainly a hard brexit.

The referendum made no mention of a 'hard Brexit' or a 'soft Brexit'. These are just weasel word terms invented after the event.
