I'm not sure about the double euro, but I agree about the other things. I would like to have an EU that supports both nationalisms and Euro-pride, saying something like "our culture is inferior" (see sweden) or "arabs are an enrichment" (see germany) should be considered treason against Europe and the Country.

It was the EU that proposed fining member states with hundreds of thousands of Euros for each rejected refugee.
>>
>>61390771

it works as intended - democratically
>>
>>61390733
The double Euro is mainly because it is impossible to objectify for people like the Greeks how much they benefit from the EU.
They have been granted an extreme amount of funds, yet fail to look past their austerity measures.
I think there are substantial differences between Germanics and Romance peoples that prevent us from having the same currency, but I do have a great belief in that we should help and support each other, and that the only way we can impact the world in this century is by working together under a strong EU.
>>
i think the biggest issues for the EU are all more or less connected to immigration. so if we could find some kind of consensus on a common line on immigration, it could work. but that will happen only if a compromise is met in between german and swedish retardation and hungarian brutalism. so it all hinges on people making sacrifices to support the greater goal.

Other than "muh power", give me one reason why Europe should federalize. LITERALLY ONE valid reason.

Pro-tip: You cannot.
>>
>>61391478
They are improving too, albeit slowly.
Their crisis was mostly the problem of the US housing crisis in general, which completely killed tourism for a while. Seeing as tourism is one of Greece's main sources of income, it was expected that they'd suffer.

The actual thing that caused their problem is a bit more complicated. Bear with me if you're interested, otherwise skip this paragraph.
The Greek government used to support their socialism and net government spending by devaluating their currency every now and then. When a government devalues its currency, the value of all the government loans decreases of course. This makes devaluating an effective way of decreasing your debt, given that it has been agreed upon in your own currency.
The downside to this is that you lose investor's trust. After a few devaluations, investors will note that their loans aren't actually returning as much as they'd hoped, and will only offer more loans if the government pays them a higher interest.
Now Greece joined the Euro. The Euro had much higher stability and credibility, so suddenly they were able to receive loans with much less interest on them, creating the illusion that they were now able to loan more money for the same price.
Once they hit their old roof however, they found out that they in fact could not devaluate the Euro on their own.

If the southern European countries have their own currency, they could devaluate it all they like. It will still hurt their economies, but in a way less obvious to the general people, and they wouldn't need to receive aid from the north with austerity measures attached. In short, it would decrease discontent with the EU, allowing us to keep everyone on board.

If I haven't lost you by now, congratulations for reading all this. Hope it was interesting, but I think it might be too complicated for some people.

I don't think we have so many common interests plus it would damage our trading with the north and our banks. I would put in the second euro zone the east and not the south as Greece is closer to countries like Romania then to Italy, we could wait few years until countries like Poland will be ready for this new currency and create a second euro-zone.

i'm aware that i'm kind of pulling a "no true scotsman" here, but you have to admit that noone knows exactly what a federalized EU would look like. it would obviously be quiet different from what it is now. so, honestly, if someone can come up with a functioning system, a sensible constitution etc, i would support it. i think if power was distributed to evrery member more fairly, and not based on economic influence, everyone would gain uiet a lot.

Of course you'll have a voice in a federal europe. You'll probably be at the heart of it.
I can almost guarantee no one caring about interests of estonians or latvians. For example, there are more people living in Berlin, than there are in Latvia and Estonia combined.

I agree with you about the no one knows how it would look part, however, there has to be a reason for it to be established.
The question shouldn't be "How a federal europe would work?", but rather "Why a federal europe is needed?".

a federal europe is no necessity, no more than a federal germany is. we could all focus on our national efforts, we could even be very successfull in doing so. we have a right to do so. but we also have a right to work together, to form a community where we help one another out. why should we do that? because, i, personally, feel very at home throughout all of europe and i would like political reality to reflect that. that's all. i feel like a european, therefore i want to live as a european. i want to be able to hop on my bike and drive all the way from munich to kiev without ever feeling like i am leaving the place where i belong. and everyone who disagrees with me, who doesn't feel at home anywhere other than his country, is just as right as i am.
>I can almost guarantee no one caring about interests of estonians or latvians

that's why i would require a voting system that respects the requirements of smaller nations. i don't know what you could base that on, but im sure it's somehow possible. i feel like the german-franco dominance in the eu right now is not just at all. that would have to be one of the very first things to be rectified.

a fuckload. they have been through the era of enlightenment, through the thirty years war. they have fought against and lived under the romans. they have similar traditions in many ways, many of which stem from the same religious background. they have been part of the renaissance (maybe not as a main factor, but they have been there). they have been at the heart of a world war not once but twice. they write in a similar alphabet. they have contributed to european schools of philosophy, literature, architecture, engineering,... they have their root in classicism.

there are hundreds of things they have in common, but we don't normally see them because they are so highly ubiquitous to us.

The Netherlands has only been a true democracy since 1917, Romania didn't embrace the "Enlightenment" until after the Cold War. Yeah... nice. We have about 2 decades of history in common in the broadest sense of the word. Considering the American Constitution drew inspiration from the Dutch Republic (among others), we might as well sign up to become the 51st state?

>Thirty Years War
Yeah... nah. First of all there was no Romania back then, second of all Wallachia (the closest thing to Romania) was too busy with the Ottomans to bother with the Thirty Years War. Thirdly, it's A FUCKING WAR. We went to war with Indonesia all the time. Do we need to sign up to become an Indonesian province too?

>Muh world war
Yeah.. the Netherlands was neutral in the first, and the second means we can now sign up to become a Russian Oblast?

>They write in a similar alphabet

nld have a lot in common with a lot of countries all over the world. but my point is that many of these similarities seem to culminate in europe. it's the combination of all the ssimilarities i listed, not these similarities in themselves that i was getting at. there is such a thing as a european identity. i'm not saying that you and romania have been on the same side throughout history, i'm saying that the netherlands and romania have experienced a very similar spectrum of world history, they have been shaped accordingly. there is just no way around this historical proximity.

has it ever occured to you, that, geographically, eurpe wouldn#t even have to be called a continent? continents are normally seen as easily distinguishable landmasses, thats nothing you could say about europe. hard to say where it starts and where it ends. so why do you think it is called a continent then? hint: it has something to do with history, culture, identity.

Explain how? Because it's an objective fact that the Netherlands has more in common with America than with Romanian in the fields of language (English is closely related to Anglo-Frisian), institutions (American Constitution and the Dutch Republic), culture, a relatively early reception of the Enlightenment, values, religion (both Protestant with a significant Catholic minority) and the fact that neither of us had anything to do with the fucking Soviet bullshit shitstorm.

Now you're just grasping at straws. Gun laws within the united states are more different than the most restrictive state compared to England.

strangely enough, gun ownership actually seems to divide the american people quiet a bit. armed militias are most likely the biggest threat to american unity there is. and you express some bewilderment about this, LIKE MOST EUROPEANS. there are common factors between nearly all countries on earth. but only some of these factors are as deeply interwoven and interconnected as to constitute a culture. and the netherlands are a part of the european culture. they also have connections with other countries, but that is not the same. it's about the overwhelming mass of interpolarities that create the unifying backdrop called a culture. Latvia and Spain are part of the same culture because they both know what the name Robespierre means, because they sense its relevance to them at all times. because they are connected.

>Why would the bureaucrats of the EU let the will of the people get in the way of their plans? Are you seeing how hard British and European politicians are doing damage control after the Brexit? Many even want a second referendum
EU officially told Britain to just trigger article 50. It's British people that actually want to be back. EU can do nothing about it. Even if you ignore the referendum you have only yourself to blame.

>and you express some bewilderment about this, LIKE MOST EUROPEANS
Some, not all. Siwtzerland and Finland confirmed for 51st and 52nd states? Or is this a purely legal issue which has more to do with an interpretation of funndamental rights rather than actual culture?

>there are common factors between nearly all countries on earth. but only some of these factors are as deeply interwoven and interconnected as to constitute a culture
Oh my, it's almost like you're starting to understand why the EU makes no sense.

>Latvia and Spain are part of the same culture because they both know what the name Robespierre means
And Americans not only know what Robbespierre means, but have their own thinkers who agreed with Robespierre. Jefferson said that the tree of liberty regularly needs to be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants, Franklin said that those who are not virtuous are in need of kings moreso than the virtuous, who would be better off in a republic. What thinker does Latvia have who thought the same? Close to none, considering how long Latvia was under Czarist rule followed by Soviet rule. They've tasted Robespierre's fruits for 20 or so years. Spain, on the other hand, was pretty much the first victim of the Republican Rape Train.

Again, I still don't see how this makes Latvia closer to Spain and France than America. Your own Bismarck said that Europe is just a geographical expression. There is nothing that unites all of its peoples. At best we can differentiate between different cultural/ethnic/linguistic groups like the Latins and the Scandinavians, but that's where it all ends.

Yeah this, I would like it if everyone was considered equal, but we know there are first and second tier countries in the EU.

The EU didn't actually help us Iberians. It's not like our politicians are any better but a lot of shit wouldn't happen because there would be no EU money in for them.

okay, it's a difficult question at least in regards to some european colonies, I'll give you that. but isn't i exactly the point? that it's the fact that they are of european origin that mkes them similar to us in many regards? (even if not as similar to us by now, as a lot of time has passed since colonization and today, as we are to other european countries, i still hold on to that point) if you look at cultures that have rather definitely developed independently, chinese, indian, etc. the differences between them and europe and, by contrast, the universalities among europeans, become very obvious. what we call the "west" today is basically europe plus some of its colonies. and within the "west", europe holds a special status, as do north america, latin america, oceania. that's my argument.

>>61400285
So basically because the differences between the Netherlands and India are bigger than those between the Netherlands and Romania, the latter two should become one country?

Your reasoning is incredibly flawed. That's because you do not follow logic where it leads you. You start out with the conclusion that the EU is neccessary, and frantically try (and fail) to dig for evidence that supports this conclusion.

If the EU accepts every value and every religion and every everything it doesn't really have an identity. It's just a syndicate for making money. Who would actually want to die for the EU? Immigration and tolerance for everything was a huge mistake.

i don't want to break you heart there but many EU projects in poland are highly overpriced and some are just useless. Though a lot of EU fund goes back in revenues of old eu companies

you know a cheaper currency is a good thing for the export industry, why do you think Trump is so pissed at China for currency manipulation? Lower value for the pound means your products are cheaper to foreigners, increasing tourism, exports, incentivizing the on-shoring of manufacturing. If fact the only people who benefit from the overvalued pound are in the City of London, you know, bankers, which is why the media is fearmongering about it.

I thought you leftist types hate the super-rich, who are the only ones who are hurt by a long-overdue currency adjustment, but it's clear that the World Government project is higher on the progressive stack than the fuck-the-bankers shtick

it's an eye opener to be sure
