Greece: mmmkay mom

2019-07-21 08:23:15 UTC  

The logic goes "Germany was nationalist. Germany caused ww2. Germany is the only nationalist country ever to exist. QED nationlism leads to war. EU is federalist. EU has not caused any wars. EU is the only federation ever to exist. QED federalism leads to peace"

2019-07-21 08:23:28 UTC  

No that's not it

2019-07-21 08:23:34 UTC  

It goes like this

2019-07-21 08:23:35 UTC  

thats a terribly brainwashed way of thinking isnt it?

2019-07-21 08:23:45 UTC  

Nationalism caused WW1 and WW2

2019-07-21 08:23:46 UTC  

the logic anyway

2019-07-21 08:23:49 UTC  

Nationalism is bad

2019-07-21 08:23:57 UTC  

Therefor no nation should be nationalist

2019-07-21 08:24:03 UTC  

thats stupid

2019-07-21 08:24:11 UTC  

Brainwashed? No, just contains a logical fallacy that is normally skipped when it's fed as a soundbite

2019-07-21 08:24:13 UTC  

ive never met someone who thinks like that

2019-07-21 08:24:15 UTC  

Support the EU to prevent war

2019-07-21 08:24:38 UTC  

*chews on some bamboo shoots*

2019-07-21 08:24:39 UTC  

If you've heard someone claim nationalism causes war, or EU has created peace, then they've made the same logical fallacy

2019-07-21 08:24:48 UTC  

it sounds like 1984

2019-07-21 08:24:49 UTC  

And then it starts with the pro EU nationalism

2019-07-21 08:24:51 UTC  

being honest

2019-07-21 08:25:22 UTC  

I can't really think of any examples on the spot

2019-07-21 08:25:29 UTC  

I'm new to this debate

2019-07-21 08:25:31 UTC  

By all means be pro-EU - just be honest about it

2019-07-21 08:25:32 UTC  

so im online when reasonable people are hmmm

2019-07-21 08:25:38 UTC  

why cant this always happen

2019-07-21 08:25:38 UTC  

Not living in the EU

2019-07-21 08:25:44 UTC  

sometimes i talk to nazis

2019-07-21 08:25:51 UTC  

Most pro-EU people are just not - PureEvilPie are great examples of it

2019-07-21 08:26:03 UTC  

PureEvilPie is a EU nationalist

2019-07-21 08:26:09 UTC  

They aren't honest about their positions and don't recognise the position of the opponent as being legitimate

2019-07-21 08:26:10 UTC  

I use him as an example on this topic

2019-07-21 08:26:12 UTC  

PeP is a tard

2019-07-21 08:26:18 UTC  

He's a coward

2019-07-21 08:26:21 UTC  

aww dont call him names

2019-07-21 08:26:21 UTC  

frankly

2019-07-21 08:26:23 UTC  

I've got him figured out

2019-07-21 08:26:24 UTC  

I hate him too

2019-07-21 08:26:28 UTC  

No, I don't hate him

2019-07-21 08:26:30 UTC  

but turn the other cheek you know

2019-07-21 08:26:33 UTC  

I like him less and less over time

2019-07-21 08:26:37 UTC  

I'm describing his position - he's a coward

2019-07-21 08:26:42 UTC  

I'll still be nice to him though

2019-07-21 08:26:48 UTC  

2K is way better though
