I hope we will find a way to fix it without ruining all the good stuff - open borders, free market, consistent regulatory practices. European land is soacked with blood, Alsace–Lorraine, all that. A war between France and Germany seems absolutely unimaginable now - but it shouldn't be. Only 70-odd years ago Germans were exterminating French citizens of jewish descent while Brits were bombing german cities to the ground). When I say to my friends this horrible past is not gone for good and can come back if we're not careful, they think I'm mental, but I'm not. Russia and Ukraine is a lesson of a bad joke that became a reality.
That's exactly why the nationalistic resentiment in Europe is so dangerous - we all know all to well what exactly it can culminate into. Unfortunately, I don't see a trend towards fixing the problems within EU - the beauracrats fully embraced old european maximas, "After me, the flood" and "Let them eat cake". Someone should remind them where all that leads to.
Exactly right. People think the way it has been the last 40 years is set in stone, while outside and other forces try to dismantle it. We have to stay vigilant or what was once built on blood and tears will crumple
