Nasty people everywhere (23/10/19 04:41:42)
History has seen a steady succession of empires: IMO all of them bad, but some even worse. Getting rid of one just opens the arena for a successor. Will the Neo-Soviet empire be better or worse than the attempts of a neo-Ottoman empire?
In my view the European Union - the idea - is a huge improvement compared to the empire succession model. Here we see an attempt - quite successful - of letting rational planning from real experts replace emotionality and whims in more or less crazy rulers or stupid parliaments. It is typical that the evil alt-right, the no less evil religious reactionaries, or the ultimately evil empire nostalgics dislike, detest or hate the EU.
