"But a lot of the pro-Brexit arguments have been a conflation of various "taking back control" type misinformation, with rhetoric that sounds like it came straight from the script of "V for Vendetta"."

Unfortunately this isnt a brexit problem but a politics problem. Look at the severe misinformation and even severe rigging in the pro-EU campaign and the continued efforts to dictate to the people. This isnt a leaver/remainer problem this is an issue that has been continuing for some time. Think back to anti-terrorism laws being misused to track dog walkers. Even the spying on civilians in this country vs the same in Germany by the NSA with permission from Germany (until they got caught listening to Merkel). Pre all this brexit stuff it would have continued to be blamed on the war on terror. But now brexit is a great excuse for those not wanting to tell the truth and those looking for something to blame brexit for (since the apocalypse didnt happen).

Well said.
