The disintegration of the European Union needs to accelerate. The non-democratic powerful elite junta known as the EU is increasingly passing policy goals which ultimately serve only the elite minority. Our rights our being eroded, chipped away a little bit at a time like sand being carried away by flowing water. We must resist these policies and rebuild a stronger foundation for our civil liberties, including a truly free Internet. We need to return to stronger local governance and a more decentralised power structure. What we are seeing today is a consolidation of power and the emergence of a singular totalitarian state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_deficit_in_the_European_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_deficit_in_the_Euro... Disagree with EU policies? Shut up and tolerate it. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2009_2014/documents/libe/dv/11_revframework_statute_/11_revframework_statute_en.pdf http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2009_2014/documents/l... Arbitrary circuit breakers added to circumvent dissenting opinions. Article 7 TEU. "Far-reaching sanctions" can be exerted, and a country can be stripped of all voting rights in the EU and have funding blocked. In January this year, Frans Timmermans, the first ever unelected Commission "vice president," who is in charge of "human rights," triggered the mechanism for the first time against Poland’s government which came to power in a record-breaking, landslide election in 2015. http://ec.europa.eu/justice/effective-justice/rule-of-law/index_en.htm http://ec.europa.eu/justice/effective-justice/rule-of-law/in... "If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." ― George Washington. Or more recently, led straight into the gas chambers for a nice "hot shower." We must ask ourselves what is the end game here? Dissenting opinions are now often twisted into being labeled as "hate speech" and "racism." Europe has already experienced the suppression of free thought and expression with the fall of the Roman Empire. What followed was a chilling effect which lasted 1000 years. Do we want to go down this road again?

There are a lot of strong claims in your comment. Could you please back them up with evidence? Like, I don't know, the ruling against Apple and the IE government. Was that in favour of the ruling elite minority? The EU has a lot of problems to fix within itself, but it has a decent track of evidence against your claims (user privacy, antitrust, etc). And you completely lost it when you start mentioning the gas chambers. Dude, I don't know, but you're going too far.

  Good points. My goal is to provoke the readers and their friends to start asking questions and not to provide conclusive evidence or solutions to these problems.
