I feel like the EU is one of the few forces of good in the world these days.

It is not. But it has been doing some right things when it comes to privacy protection and so on.

Still, Trump's border wall and caged children are merely cute compared to the shit going on at the borders of the EU.

I disagree. The EU is one of the best things that ever happened to us Europeans, who knows, we might be fighting another war if history went different.

Politically, the EU spins around between based decisions and crap like chat surveillance, but over all, it has been a major contributor to the high standard of life in Europe, I'm convinced of this.

What kind of things should I think of?

Not for long we all get very right to fascist governments the next year's and things will go south. Germany with a CDU/AFD coalition, Le pen in France, if those two happen I see a dark future ahead, but hey climate change will bite us in the ass anyway. Why not go under under fascist leadership...

We're not very good at learning from the past, are we?

Until you find out it lets Muslim immigrants (80% of whom prefer sharia law over eu law) take over entire towns & countries.

Yeah, that's not happening. Nice far right conspiracy theory though.

It got me banned from reddit, but I ain't even half right nor even a bit extremist. I just walked around in Rotterdam, Almere, Marseille, Barcelona and such. Have you?

Twitter is filled with idiots who'll pronounce London/Paris/wherever is under Sharia law. Never seems to occur to them that this is very easy to fact check.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I definitely did not say that they were under sharia law. I made several factual statements. But ALL of you manage to Twist my words. Sick rethoric!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Nah you tried to imply something not born out by reality and got downvoted for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You know, you can't imply something and complain that we understood it
