You get food and free money from richer counties

@MrChubbs

just like soviet times

The gobbamint gives you a house if it was blown up

You can buy one for like 3000 euros as a westerner

Have it all set up for 5

And thats with a huge swat of land

You can buy a house in the city for like 2

So it attracts a lot of dumb people

Honestly Croatia has been doing well in terms of growth, starting from a lower point but the strategy of including poorer countries in the EU is to have balast to the more technical and capped out economies

Its a leeching program to be honest

Lots of fleeing eastern euros too

It might get better but we're talking decades

Yeah, that was the plan but they kind of ignored that having freedom of movement of people isnt that great of an idea.

Europe is such a weird place to live

We're so fractured and distant towards each other

But everyrhing screams centralization

Id agree as weird as it might sound

I feel kind of unrooted if that makes sense

Free movement of goods should have been the plan but then globalization happened

I dont feel at home here but Ive been away from France for too long as well

Globalization always happened, just not this fast

Its like an industrial revolution TBH

Things happen too fast with little time to get used to it

Globalization of goods was largely par for the course, globalizatiom of borders in order to more cheaply move goods and services probably is what caused the alienation happening now

Arendt already warned against it

You see a lot of movements in Germany asking to split off for example

Seperatism

Tbh, i reached the point where i accpeted that large parts of the human population will be fucked in the middle/long-term

I try to stay positive

Because fucking shit up is unaffordable at this stage

Get a good self sustainable job, nice waifu and be done with it

Some shitty south african country can buy a bomb that can hold most of Europe ransom

For a small price

We really cant afford to fuck up

yawn

I think if we really go down that route even urops wil not hesitate to send some nukes first

Look and france at britain, always a nuclear submarine abroad

If nuke throwing starts its over for 3/4th of the world

Which means the 1/4th will die as well

*Tbh, i reached the point where i accpeted that large parts of the human population will be fucked in the middle/long-term*
