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

and without such strong patriotism, the country will not exist

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*

But the Soviets fucked it

Gj soviets

Now accept americas friend request

Russia and american trade deals sound good, there is literally just the pacific between us

Could one say democracy is what the EU blames for the events of WW2?

They do

@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.

Which is why they are an oligarchy
