The EU is getting Governments to ignore their people and join the EU, China is just openly occupying land, They are different forms of expansionism, But they are both types of Expansionism

cause its traditionally successfully authoritarian

🇨🇳 is better then 🇪🇺

The EU is not "getting governments go ignore their people", that's those governments doing it

There's this magic place I can tell you about

It's called Hungary

Have you heard about it?

The EU is encouraging them to

Poland

Need more examples?

And?

And what?

Those Governments haven't completely sold out their people, Look at the ignored votes in Greece

Do you think countries didn't make deals prior to the EU?

Of course they did

This is a completely new phenomenon?

Just not on this scale

woot?

That ignored vote was the best thing Tsipras did in his career and got him reelected 2 months after it in a snap election

They didn't forcibly make their people sign up to an Authoritarian Union

British colonialism is a much smaller scale than the EU
mfw

British Colonialism doesn't exist anymore

Historians everywhere reading this cringing

The deals made between nations were never on this scale

You're guilty for mass historian cringecide

bahahaha

Governments in Europe didn't join increasingly Authoritarian Unions

Never on this scale holy shit

fml

I don't even know how to respond to that, do you want me to go through literally every event in history and present it to you

To show you how many larger scale deals were made

my bet is that lizard is like 17-18yo and still new to politics or some shit like that

Now I at least have an idea why so many EU supporters feel justified in saying the EU is the best thing ever

EU is not the best thing ever, but sure its miles better than china
