I hope that the Europeans get exactly what they have coming to them-—good and hard, as H.L. Mencken would say.
I propose an experiment:
Europe continues to venture mushily down the “kumbaiya” road of PC multicultural assimilation - of everyone into the one, slowly losing their communal ability to think and act rationally.
America clings unapologetically, to rugged individualism.
Let’s see what happens. :)
The supra nation state (which is what the EU is) is much more of a danger than the average nation state since larger polities are much harder to restrain.
TG & the Founding Fathers for the 2nd Amendment.
As for the Chinese, the idea of transnationalism might appeal to them but only with themselves as the world's ruling oligarchy.
I'm afraid the Europeans are bogged down in the same old hubris and denial that's plagued them since the Minoans first brought civilization to the Continent--the stuff that comes before a fall.
EUrope is the “Culture of Nothing”.
Modern bureaucrats are the descendents of communism’s soviets and fascism’s functionairies.
The end result is that citizns lose the god-given right to vote for representatives to write law and instead give that important function to those who are unelected and unaccountable. The bureaucratic state leads to tyranny and eventual war.
Bureaucracies are totalitarian and evil. They must be destroyed wherever they fester.
