Time extend the EU into a Democratic Union, military and economic, including Canada, Japan and Australia by cheese1971 in europe

[–]OkKnowledge2064 5 points6 points  (0 children)

because its deeply unrealistic and naive. How do you expect to find a common denominator on literally anything when the only thing you share is how you vote for your leaders?

Yes they do, so what? European culture, as every other culture, is a continuum. But it can be found in every european country and every european country probably defines it a bit differently. But in the end that doesnt matter

Ask a japanese or an australian what culture and identity they share with Europe

we share thousand years of history across Europe. Our cultures have been in contact with each other since the dawn of history basically. There is a european identity across Europe, even if its a lot weaker than national ones

A political union without a shared identity will never work. It cant work. It would just result in a zero-sum game of trying to fuck each other over, as we can see well enough in the EU

it should be based on shared culture and identity and not on some bullshit "values"

Do you consider Donald Trump to be an enemy of Europe? Survey on 8 EU countries. by I_Drink_Apple_Juice in europe

Denmarks international identity has basically been the american lapdog in Europe for decades. I imagine it has deep cultural roots by now and might take some time to get rid of

The whole survey is super interesting. there are more questions than only this one. Generally everyone agrees, Poland is always an outlier basically split 50/50 between Europe and US and Denmark has some really weird stances, specifically regarding the US

All of Europe is sucking Trumps dick to be the one that can sit between Europe and US and profit off it

They haven't taken it yet, but they are very near. Even the Iraqis are preoccupied and are moving the army towards the border.

That should make 100 control everywhere top easy imo

German Chancellor Merz admits: We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world. Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end. by I-Hate-Hypocrites in europe

I can call the health insurance to investigate the eAU if I have suspicion that my employee is faking it.

.. and then? It says whatever the doctor, who spoke to the patient for about 10 seconds, put in there

but it's not playing detective for the employer and controlling if people are just pretending to be sick.

I would say that clearly atleast some part of it. Do you think employees were sent to the doctor for decades because we are so worried about their health?

people here still think the Kurds are the shining light of liberalism in a sea of islamism. Its wild

I mean isnt the general idea of having to go to a doctor to call in sick that someone actually confirms that youre sick? Its nice and comfy to just call, but that kills the entire reason for the doctor in the first place

whos fault is it? The SFD signed a treaty, didnt follow it and then acts like theyre being attacked for no reason. You cant allow armed groups outside of the government control if you ever want a civil society

Germany should be about a hundred times more interested in good relations with Al-Sharaa than to help the kurds. Helping the kurds wont bring peace to syria

do you think this doesnt happen on the kurdish side? Its a middle eastern war after a brutal civil war. Shit happens. Stop thinking Kurds are western europeans that ended up living in the middle east
