BREXIT - THE RIGHT DECISION FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS?

The chickens have no choice but to come home to roost one day.
I've lived in Scotland, South Africa and now Australia and while the average person I've come across isn't necessarily a latent bigot, I do believe that this xenophobic hatred masquerading as patriotism that's engendered as much by inheritance as it is by our so-called leaders, is about as misguided and flawed as it gets yet so many buy into it.
Whenever one talks about inclusion - all races and ethnic groups, there's still a deep-seated cellular mindset entrenched within people (usually white, usually [relatively] privileged) that harkens back to some comfortable point of reference when their national identity was born and sovereignty assumed over the land they now occupy.
We are all of us emigrants if we rewind just a short way in (known) human history. 
Most scholars agree that the human race evolved in its variant forms from a genetic genesis in Africa so it follows that everywhere else, bar no place, was colonised by immigrants. So to conveniently just hang one's hat on a date and time at which point ownership was asserted is a supreme presumptive arrogance. But when you have the guns and bullets and a lot of poor citizens to sacrifice as cannon fodder, it's easy to vanquish an indigenous people who object to your presence then tell them afterwards like a brutally beaten child that it's all for the best and one day they'll be grateful. I'm wondering when that day will come...?
For the original inhabitants - probably never.
The assertions of nations (particularly the Brits) when it comes to who got there first and the bloodthirsty empire-building nightmare (for original residents) that ensued is nothing more than a selective, convenient device designed to perpetuate the status-quo.
While nothing can adequately redress the injustices of the past, decisions in the present can still create sane, just and inclusive societies despite the rigorous attempts by the state controlled corporate-media to turn us all into fearful xenophobes.
This (not so) little gamble has, I believe, backfired for all the wrong reasons but for perhaps the right result. 
It shall over time, potentially illustrate to these lily-white Poms exactly how important immigrants are to the efficient operation of the British democracy and, if the truth be told, the policy makers are those wielding the commercial power in any nation state and many of those people are without doubt, immigrants.
Colonialism may have assured innovation out of necessity but the price at which this came has been horrifically attritionist and it forms the basis of much inherited thinking in our modern societies where the "conquered" people still rank as "inferior" to their lords and masters even if only by dint of trade and commerce and strategic global decision making.
The nett result of this anthropogenic evolution is global unrest, a widening divide between the controllers and the suppressed masses and complete frustration on behalf of the latter who, ironically as a result of their masters' actions, have now decided to say fuck you, we want out. We want to give it a go under our own steam...
This decision forces Britain to relook at the whole operating structure of the country beyond their borders while dealing with the obvious consequence of having proclaimed their exclusiveness and superiority to the world, as disingenuous as those claims may be.
The responses, which initially might be belligerently resistant will undoubtedly settle into a pattern of mutual benefit all round although I'm sure that's going to take years to attain.
Will it ever be equitable for all people under current political structures though? 
I have no idea...
At a more prosaic level, however, the ultimate irony of the Brexit phenomenon has to be the reality that those (in the 18-24 year old age group) who were majorly opposed (64%) to leaving the EU are the ones who are fated to live with the consequences of the decision that's been made on their behalf principally by pensioners of 65 years and over at 58% of the vote with the balance being made up by those in between. As the age demographic increased so too the desire to leave the EU.
Make of that what you will, however, it's unarguable that the majority of the younger generation may feel rightly disgruntled having to endure a situation they voted against.
Conversely, they can just get on with life, aware of the potential they now have to do things very differently to the generations that preceded them and which led to this decision in the first place.
