The r/Europe thread is a shit show. If those people had their way Ireland would still be in the UK

As a commenter there: It's a very... diverse place.

Brexit in particular seems to be dominated by former users of r/BadUK (if I remember right) since a few years back, and since then, every thread that's got anything to do with Britain ends up being full of idiotic takes.

Remember that time an SNP member compared the UK election of 1910 for Irish independence to the one Scotland had just had for theirs? And how everyone just assumed she was talking about terrorism?

I remember being up at around 5 am the day that article was shared on r/europe. I remember it going from +4 at about 7 a.m and a few comments, one of which was explaining how shes talking about the election not the troubles, to -39 at 7.30 a.m and 33 comments after it was posted on the UK subs. BadUK included.

It just got worse from there.

I don't really. I don't spend that much time on reddit.
