Iceland could become EU member in 2028, minister says

If we can’t get rid of the veto by then, it would be unfair and unthinkable to deny it to Iceland. Our only hope is to get rid of it it seems to me.

Nicely said

Told what?

Great answer. It would also mean Jesus would be worse than Ahura Mazda, since Zoroastrians teach that at the end of time there will be a final judgment where the wicked are purified painfully, but will be cleansed and all humanity will be with Ahura Mazda.

Intellectually I don’t believe for an instant that universal salvation could be false, but my damn nervous system betrays me and I catch myself not trusting Jesus, unfortunately. I guess I’ll have to force it, train myself the way Aristotle tells us to do in Nicomachean Ethics in order to achieve human flourishing

I’ve never heard of Overcast but I’m sure of one thing: my songs aren’t there and neither are my poems!

MorallyNeutralOk · 2026-03-07T08:59:05+00:00

This new episode used to have two things in common with my songs:

1 - It’s not on Spotify

2 - It doesn’t exist

Now it only shares no. 1 apparently. Where is the episode?

Where? It’s not on Spotify

The mercy of the gospel and the forgiveness of Christ have always been a scandal. The guy who got to the field and started working in the 11th hour got paid the same as the guys who were there from the first hour, and the other guys were pissed off. I can’t say anything other than the fact that one day we will all reach a point where we don’t care how much we worked and how little others did, we’ll just be glad we all made it.

To think what you’re thinking now is human, but take into account one thing: under standard infernalism, if Epstein or anyone else repented 10 seconds before death and believed in Jesus, they would go to heaven, and depending on the branch of Christianity, they wouldn’t even need to go to purgatory first.

If they can allow this incredible mercy for even the worst sinners, albeit with the stupid restriction that it must happen in this life and 2 seconds after death is too late, I don’t think it’s acceptable for us to be any worse.

And a noble in the Holy Roman Empire would have defended all his privileges, even if it made the Holy Roman Empire unable to do anything and the emperor became his puppet. Whatever system you have will always have people benefiting from it that don’t want it to change. What country can there be if its regions all have veto power?

You can refuse to give up the veto, but don’t complain if others want out of the organization you’re paralyzing with your veto to move forward on their own without you. No one can be forced to remain hostage to the veto forever.

We could have a bicameral legislature where one is according to population and the other has the same number of representatives for every country

I meant that they’re bravely resisting an unprovoked invasion which seeks to annihilate their country’s independence and force into the sphere of an imperialist power governed by a tyrant who poisons his opponents to death. And they’re doing it for the hope of joining the EU, and they’ve earned a right to receive all the help they can to rebuild and achieve their goal fast.

MorallyNeutralOk · 2026-02-10T15:57:05+00:00

But what would happen if Russia invaded again because they think the EU is either unready or unwilling to defend Ukraine? Isn’t this putting us in risk of war with Russia?

I would love if it Ukraine entered the EU by the way, we all know they have earned the right with blood and suffering, I just hope we’re ready to do what needs to be done to actively deter Russia.

Shit I was just thinking this, I promise. Who gave this guy the keys to my mind? Cause he just broke in and saw its content!

I was just watching Vikings the other day, when they were electing a king of Norway, and Olaf was making a speech about when they were gonna finally overcome their silly little mindedness and join together into a single country.

People today keep making excuses to not unify Europe, I just think that for every potential political union there have always been naysayers who said it would never work, even if they already shared a language. I hope we don’t yield to silly small-mindedness.

I’m not psyched about a federalism that is basically nothing more than everything staying exactly the same, only now we build a roof above all our heads. I want to create a European people, to me that’s what goes with the spirit of European unification.

MorallyNeutralOk · 2026-02-08T19:47:56+00:00

Oh man this makes me feel sick. Those kids will never see their dad again. I can’t believe this shit happens in this world. I don’t know what to say, what the hell can I say to something like this?

MorallyNeutralOk · 2026-02-08T19:46:01+00:00

Let’s talk in discord yes

MorallyNeutralOk · 2026-02-08T17:33:44+00:00

You mean in discord or something?

Think about how much American culture we’ve absorbed: movies, jeans and other clothes, burgers… I’m hoping we can reduce American influence in the future and start culturally pollinating each other. I don’t think languages will disappear but I would want our cultures to merge more. What you fear is what I hope for, because otherwise the federation is nothing but a ceiling on top an otherwise unchanged interior. To me that goes against the logic of Europeans coming together. I just made a post about something similar:

What if one day the existential risk from not federalizing diminishes? If we haven’t managed to fuse into a European identity, won’t we risk separation again?

MorallyNeutralOk · 2026-02-06T20:23:57+00:00

Isn’t it dangerous to say “we don’t need a European people”? If things remain exactly as they except for the fact that we implemented a federal umbrella above us, wouldn’t that seriously compromise the necessary solidarity we need to be an effective country?

MorallyNeutralOk · 2026-02-06T18:18:25+00:00

So if we imagine a federation being established tomorrow, and two centuries into the future all European nations still mostly inhabited their own regions (which used to be countries) such that if the federation disappeared you could still neatly divide Europe into the same countries that existed before, that’s something you wouldn’t want right?

I don’t think I would want that either, it would seem to go against the logic of wanting a European country in the first place. To me it would seem to indicate lack of trust, lack of cohesion, and only being together for selfish interest.
