It's not cherry picking as there are several long time members who are net beneficiaries. Even if it was cherry picking, how is it irrational to pick counter examples? How does one make rational arguments then? You don't like the EU because you don't like "open borders". You'll find any reason to hate the EU without reasoning because you don't like "open borders". Doesn't matter what good the EU has done. It can never outweigh "open borders". The EU "steals" from its members and redistributes. Taxes are theft. Nevermind that modern economies rely on public services and infrastructure funded by taxes.
