EU should unite to reform the Roman Empire

Make Latin the official European language again

@Jasse So they can finally have power and relevance again

Yeah I support imperialism

Expansionism for mutual benefit

EU becomes a centralized unitary state and expands into Africa and Eastern Europe

Found the Germanic

Why’s that?

A region economically benefits from unified and simplified laws and regulations as well as a common currency

Makes capitalism much easier to happen

Not to mention a common language makes trade much smoother

Capitalism usually brings along mutual prosperity

And the interests of Europe can best be protected if Europe were united

Couldn't culture be distinct from the law?

Regions may retain their local culture and let it naturally evolve and mix over time. There's no reason for a government or series of laws to change this

I admit the Latin part was a bit dumb, but still, unification offers more good than bad. Look at the unification of Germany under Bismarck

I doubt all Germans are ethnically identical

They've rarely ever been unified in their history, starting off as small barbaric tribes to a clusterfuck of tiny kingdoms

Yet they were still able to unify despite differences in culture and history

Because the Roman Empire was sexy

Then Europe will remain fractured, having the many different ethnicities cooperating only within their small group identity

The people may be happier this way, sure, but they will be weak, easily dominated by a stronger foreign force

That's true I agree that Europe outclassed Asia in technology because of the existential pressure to advance war tech

But I don't see Europe waging war against itself now. And governments competing with each other isn't as good as corporations competing

And capitalist competition does occur in a more open market unhindered by governments

So would you say governments would compete to have better policies so that citizens wouldn't emigrate to neighboring governments?

i.e. Switzerland

However, it does prevent trans-cultural diffusion

European cultures can learn technologies from each other, though this only happens through contact

What

I think spanking shows a weakness in character from the parent if they aren't capable of instilling reason into the child with rational arguments

Do they even learn WHY an action is wrong in the first place then?

All they know is the punishment

Leading by example won't work?

If a child learns he gets punished for doing something then rationally that should encourage him to lie and cover up

I think what's worse than being punished for doing something wrong is not being congratulated for doing something good

Or you could make him do yard work

But that might make him associate physical labor with punishment

So idk

Murdoch-chan is supreme waifu

”What is Russia famous for?”

”Russians.”

Bring back expansionism

Praise Jesus

That’s sexy

Make the Roman Empire great again

i just saw my life

flash before my eyes

Jesus Christ all the mods are awake at this hour

In the end, none of this really matters.

I don't see a point in placing meaning in something where there isn't any.

Why should the universe care about you? Why should all the stars and nebulas regard your existence as something significant? The universe existed before you were born, and it will continue existing longer afterwards.

UwU

My daddy is Israeli

He served in the army for some time

Ask me anything

Come to the VC y’all

It happens

So I think the problems of capitalism can be chalked up to governments giving tax breaks and subsidy benefits to the largest corporations

Basically taking the taxpayer money of the middle class and offering it to the elite as a subsidy

What's happening here?

I would never trust a single person with the welfare of millions

We need more fucking capitalism

Pelosi is in
