What -he envisioned was a European Union, or as he called it, the United -States of Europe. His vision gained a lot of support, so much support -that we now actually have a European Union.<br /><br /> -Except that nowadays I look at this European Union, which was created -with the motivation of uniting Europe and creating peace in Europe, and -ask myself one thing. Where has the support, the union, the motivation -gone? Why is the European Union, which was meant to be a democratic -Union of Europe now falling apart? I can tell you why, the European -Union is not what it used to be. The European Union is not the great -Union that it used to be, sure there are some nice regulations here and -there, but the majority of European actions have just been idiotic. -Which completely warrant the Brexit and now the potential Dexit, the -European Union simply is not what it used to be.<br /><br /> -How dare you call yourself Democratic, when you actively allow countries -to completely bypass the Democracy, do you consider it Democratic to -allow the french and dutch to veto a European Constitution without any -consequences? I certainly do not. To me the European Unions seems like a -mega corporation which only follows the lead of the countries that give -it the most money.<br /><br /> -Does anyone here happen know who that country currently is? It is -Germany. Does anyone here know what would happen to the European Union -if Germany would leave? The European Union would crumble. It would turn -into a joke, a joke with no funding.<br /><br /> -No one would benefit from Germany leaving the European Union, which is -exactly why I would not mind if Germany were to leave. If all powerful -countries have to leave the European Union to cause the European Union -to change, then so be it. This is what you get for piggybacking off of -Germany and turning a blind eye on Greece going into massive debt with -Germany. You get a nice f-you from the powerful countries who are sick -of your hypocrisy.<br /><br /> -But of course, no one here cares, because it gives you what you actually -strive for. Money. This is the system we live in, a system where having -money is rewarded and not having money will cause you to be completely -Ignored. I cannot blame anyone for trying to make Money. But what I can -blame you for and what I will blame you for is the fact that no one -tries to replace this broken system with a system that actually works, -one that does not only benefit the powerful. A system which properly -helps the poor without putting them into massive debt. But of course no -one here will do this, because the lobbyist tell you not to. The fact -that you people allow corruption like this on a continental level is -absolutely despicable. I am deeply disappointed with everything you have -done. I used to be a fan of the European Union and admired everyone who -is sitting here. But now I am just disgusted by the corruption, -discrimination and violations of Human Rights you people do on the -daily. And of course none of this will change, since "boo hoo change -scary"<br /><br /> -Additionally, the European Union fails to listen to any young voices, I -am quite honestly surprised that I am able to talk to you in this moment -and that the majority is somewhat listening to what I have to say. Does -anyone here remember article 13? The robo copyright regulation that -would stop any form of fair use? Has anyone here seen the mass outrage -young people had online? I’m guessing you have not, since all I see here -is a group of old timers who accidentally leak confidential emails and -fall for the most obvious phishing attacks known to man. Has anyone here -ever actually listened to a young persons opinion? I would not be -surprised if some people here had their last interaction with young -people on Epstein Island. You are the ones who complain about the newer -generations not being politically motivated, yet you also make no effort -to listen to politically engaged teenagers. Why is that? Are their ideas -too radical to you? Do they not know enough about politics to be able to -make proper decisions on specific topics? I would argue that politically -engaged teenagers know more about politics than some of you, mainly -because they cannot buy their position in politics.<br /><br /> -Now to be completely fair, the European Union does not only consist of -bad things, you people sometimes do things which I and many others, -genuinely appreciate. Enforcing proper worker rights across every -European Country, allowing anyone who is European to travel to any -country in the European Union. Allowing tax free trade for any good. -Showing Corporations the middle finger with their monopolistic and -anti-consumer strategies. We genuinely appreciate that. Except then you -add regulations that would make open source programs impossible to -maintain and also cause mass surveillance, is it really that hard to not -fall for the default "it will stop child predators" mass surveillance -reasoning? I feel like we have been through this multiple times. In the -end the politicians who wrote those regulations turn out to be child -predators themselves and were only trying to distract from the actual -issue.<br /><br /> -I really want to like the European Union, it is a great concept and it -has the potential of becoming so much better. But all I see nowadays is -a concept that everyone is starting to loose interest in. The European -Union in its current state will not change for the better anymore. So if -it takes the dissolution of the European Union for us to get a true -United States of Europe, which does not consist of separate countries -but is one big state with one unified language and one unified law, then -I am fully on board. But realistically, even with the most powerful EU -members leaving and creating their own partnerships, this will not -happen. We are stuck with the current European Union, so let us improve -this Union the best we can, completely rework the process of introducing -regulations to a process that features actual proper Democracy, let us -not favor the will of powerful money givers of the poorer countries, let -us accept refugees and give them a new home where they do not fear -missiles hitting their home or soldiers committing war crimes, let us -not spy on Europeans and put journalists at risk of being arrested for -spreading the truth, let us listen to what the young generation has to -say. Let Europe arise again!</p> -<table class="foot"> - <tr> - <td class="foot-date">CC BY-SA 4.0</td> - <td class="foot-home"><a href="https://xenia.blahaj.land">Go To Main Page</a></td> - <td class="foot-os">why did i quote churchill :(</td> - </tr> -</table> -</body> -</html> |
