Your elections do not work anyway.
I kinda feel like there are steps to try before setting myself on fire.
And it's not like there is a valid deal on the table. Hell if the EU can't pass an extension pretty sure article 50 is already in motion. Short of a revocation that's a de-facto Hard Brexit.
And it's a one-shot trick
Or, and I mean we had a lot of success with this. Throwing tea into a harbor. It's how civilized people do these things.
Okay pussy, try cargo terminals
Sabotage trade
It is why we dumped tea into the harbor. That was a fuckton of money
Seems even worse because at least self immolation's intent is obvious, while destruction seems easy to spin in a way that lessens support not attracts it.
It is defiance.
Also write a very stern letter to the King of the EU about how in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another. Trust me this shit i gold.
Your aim is to send a message that your national spirit is too strong to subjugate.
If you fail, well, you tried. If you succeed, someone else will be inspired.
Success is NOT GUARANTEED. So be prepared for failure. On your own terms.
Are you so sure that ANY action can only have a positive effect or none?
Because that specific idea of harming trade I can see backfiring
No. But I do know that inaction cannot help you at this point.
Actually making me a common enemy between the gov and the people.
The people will suffer.
They will either way.
Or is that just a tactical weakness?
But it can be either a short lived suffering to save them, or a long term, less obvious suffering that destroys their spirit.
Of course, do not harm innocents.
Here this is a good template. Send something like this to Brussels;

You could find a group of likeminded people and storm an armory.
Will definitely get you killed and send a message that you were trying to revolt.
Or I mean listen to Ender LARP....
I would already be dead over there. But I'm not British.
This is all what I would do for America.
Hey it's good ideas even if it's on the deep end of things, and I just needed a kick in the right direction. Jym I'll check that out.
The part Ender gets right is it has to be in the domain of real life, not official correspondence or the internet.
My point, is that you've already done the usual protesring shit, and look at how effective it was.
I haven't. Heck I voted remain. Been something of a system shock.
You need people to perceive you ass too insane to easily deal with, sothat they just give up.
Plot twist
Yeah the problem with internet is that it is too easy. Like Tweeting your representative is 1/10th of an Email. An Email is 1/10th of a physical letter. So you can have 100x the effect by actually writing and sending something much less physically talking to someone.
You will obviously need to meet up with others who are as determined, so attending protests is still smart.
Joining your local CoC will maximize your political power more than any social media can.
Since social media will be blocked pretty quickly anyway.
I think thatif you hold outlong enough, other EU countries will start to join in. Discontent seems widespread.
