I guess we have different ideas what it means to be "fucked".

By the way, the roaring 20s happened just after WWI, so we clearly weren't that fucked. I guess you can argue that our empire was fucked after WWII, but that's hardly something to cry about.

Brexit doesn't have nearly the potential to cause the same kind of hardship that war does. If you really believe that, you're on another planet.
