Stop pinging

Like the austrians those are germans too <:SquidDab:459545666725609493>

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

That’s globalism

Imperialism is the big gay

and why would you want a super eu

do you want to incoperate the retarded meds and Anglo’s?

and Slavs

Because the Roman Empire was sexy

The Germans are one "ethnic __group__". They already had the same language, religion, morality, etc. Now look at countries with multiple ethnicities in Europe: the former Yugoslavia, Spain (Catalonians and Basque want independence), UK (Scots want independence), Russia (Chechens and others want independence), etc., etc., etc.

Austro-Hungarian Empire being another obvious example

Hello

There is a natural drive to self-preservation which being interlaced with other ethnicities is counter-intuitive to.

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

If you laud Capitalism so high, I'd assume as many do for competition breeding progress, then by the same token wouldn't a disunited Europe breed technological progress via competing tension? War, for instance, is the greatest catalyst to technology.

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

It's not like you are obligated to fight in this scenario. The US and USSR never outright warred each other, yet heaps of technology came out of the Cold War.

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

i.e. Switzerland

Well, ideally, government policies would not be in favor of citizens not meeting ethnic criteria -- going back to what we were discussing before.

Granted, that's how it would work out anyway if countries were based on ethnicity in the first place, to prevent inter-ethnic tension

However, it does prevent trans-cultural diffusion

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

Competition is good for the cartels

What

Cause they report each others shit

So in a way they accidentally preserve themselves

If usa did not get a token load of drugs every now and sthen they might actually get off their asses

And get rid of the drugs and shit

Just an example i guess

^This doc, using the FOIA redaction codes and the FBI's Court filing: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5629714-Summary-Judgment.html
Tells us that the Steele document's info is still relevent in ongoing investigations - and since Cohen, Flynn, Manafort, GRU, etc, etc are out of the picture now and in Court battles, (some already finished), those investigations have ended. Which now means: The areas of the Steele doc that are focused not on those people, are still in bulk investigation. Damn!
Oh, and the new FOIA'd doc shows us that Steele's sources have been corroborated in the past.

shut up
