The EU expansion is a completely different thing than China's expansion

Winnie the Pooh

They are still expanding, Albeit in different ways, But they are both expanding

But it's a very different thing

You're comparing apples to oranges and saying "see, both fruits, therefore taste the same"

the orange is 1million times better than the apple tho

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

Governments in Europe didn't join increasingly Authoritarian Unions
