I am not sure if I'm understanding what you're saying. Anyway.

What I am against is equating leader's behavior and people's behavior. It's not a nazi Germany situation where the people supported this action, it's a situation where most people don't know about it, and those who know are probably against it. It's such a minor issue that until something very big will happen and go on the news, nobody will care about it since people are mostly trying to make a living without much thought about what happens outside their garden

> It's not a nazi Germany situation where the people supported this action,

Um, you do know that a good chunk of the logistics involved were about hiding what was going on so that the populace wouldn't object, yes?

Yes, I was doing a bit of overstatement

Ursula v.d. Leyen, the president of the European Commission, is not voted by the EU people the same way the US president is for example, she's appointed by the European Parliament's own elections who act sort of as a middle man.

So in that regard no, we don't have elected leaders, since Ursula, the de-facto EU leader, makes giant trade and political deals in our name, like regarding Covid and Ukraine, but none of us here voted for her, nobody likes her, she's been incompetent as German politician, she's incompetent and corrupt as an EU politician, she's been groomed since youth for this position due to her influential family, and yet we can't vote her out if we don't like it since we didn't vote for her to begin with.

So when someone you didn't vote for has sovereignty over you and your country, I'm not sure how people can look at this and say it's a democratic arrangement. Do you think a privileged upper class politician from Germany has any clue about the impact or struggles of the average citizen in say, Bulgaria, when she makes decisions for the whole EU?
