Is ”wake up sheeple!” conspiracy rearing its ugly head again?
Hardly sleepwalking, rather waking up to the fact that we’re no longer strong alone. Would wish for a world without borders, nations or federalism. But naivety in this age gets us swallowed up by bigger fish.
Unlike all other examples, people of the EU don’t share common language or culture, so I am not sure if it’s really aplicable and realistic. We don’t have any deep interpersonal connections with people from other countries. Being from the same continent and having the same currency or even values is not enough if you don’t speak the same language, don’t celebrate the same holidays etc.
Besides, can you imagine asking Europeans where they are from and their first answer is “of course from the EU, you silly!”.
I wish, but highly unlikely.
Have you not read or heard the original idea behind the EEC (as it was)?
as a southtyrolean, being part of a nation us a foreign concept to me anyway, so im all for federalism!
