They are now
I tend not to jump to such a conclusion
just because dave rubin says so I don't want to automatically believe it
I, agah-ree...with that
this is mine
a dirty neolib
It's been a while since I took the 8 values test
but I did use spekr
and I got liberal
If you're a 'classical liberal' still after seeing how corrupt republics can get with large populations, and haven't gone 'Libertarian', you're not paying attention.
As if Libertarianism is perfect
It's not about 'perfect'
I keep thinking about how very separate the cultures are from one state or region to another
I am a firm believer in the idea that none of the pure political ideologies are ever going to work
we're more or less
a nation of strangers
That's not how ideologies work
@Mickey D The special thing about America is it's patriotism
You are right in that the states are very different from one another
This is the reason why the EU cannot function as a state
yeah. it's that which holds it together doesn't it
the EU has no soul
it's like the antithesis of the US isn't it?
no, just a botched attempt at creating something parallel
They should've strived for a unified European identity first
That's what the EU was
Agreed
something the peoples of the countries can be patriotic about
then form a union
right now, it is just a union where people are only interested in for economic reasons
It was forcing the whole continent to become a universal identity. You can't force a nation on a people
I mean the countries in the EU have their own languages and are far more distinct from one another
The raw revolution that made america what it is is very hard to replicate
Fuck, this is the damn logic that got us into this mess
Eu didnt go thru that
Which is why it can never be as patriotic
Imo
It could have
*It should never be*
