If they don't bash Brexit to the fullest dangerous ideas like "stuff like birthplace, religion, citizenship and nationality matters and the citizens of a country may determine which and on what terms non citizens could live in said country" may take hold.
As a person from Eastern Europe I am on the receiving end of Brexiters rhetoric, but I can totally understand that UK belongs to the British. Their country - their rules. No one but them has the right to live there - it is a temporary privilege that they have granted to some one way or another.
- Kenji 10y agoIf you are from Eastern Europe, you probably understand better than most Europeans how harmful it is to be integrated into a bloc and controlled by a powerful undemocratic outside force.
- venomsnake 10y agoEU are buffoons compared to USSR. I am actually pan European nationalist - Europe must be united and strong so we may play even with the big boys that are on the rise geopolitically. Any single European nation will be rounding error compared to the fully developed China and India. A resurgent Ottoman empire that leads united middle east and north afrika - while a long shot is not out of the question.
- Kenji 10y agoEU are buffoons compared to USSR Luckily, at the moment, yes. But if you watch closely, you see the the EU has actually been consistently increasing its power and leverage over countries. Let's be frank: At this point, Greece is basically the property of EU.
- ergo14 10y agoAs another person from living behind the iron curtain i find the comparisons between it and EU rather hilarious.
- Kenji 10y agoYeah, you're right. I don't want to imply it's the same. What I mean is that power-grabs must be quickly fended off before it's too late, at which point it becomes almost impossible.
