This is just American exceptionalism cope. With the US hegemony circling the drain, there's no end of "well Europe will fall too!" claims going around because how embarrassing for the US if their system was a failure and socialist Europe a success.
- wolvesechoes 1y agoI live in Poland, I think membership in EU was highly beneficial to us, and I consider our, and rest of EU countries, reliance on US a huge problem. I never said "Europe will fall too!", for Europe and EU are not referring to the same thing. This is why discussing these matters with people here is usually pointless, as there is so much misconception floating around about what EU is. EU is set of bureaucratic institutions facilitating cooperation between some countries in Europe. It cannot fall, it will simply stop working. And it cannot create OSes, as suggested in this thread. As for "socialist Europe" - please. Social democracy, maybe with exception of Nordics, is on decline for quite some time now, although the extent to which Nordics are socialist is debatable as well.
