- swiftcoder 6mo agoSurely by definition, being pro-EU is automatically anti-nationalism (at least for everyone inside the EU)?
- cbg0 6mo agoThe extremists want you to believe that, but the EU is an economic alliance, not a federal republic. Being pro-EU is usually anti-isolationist, but it isn't always anti-nationalist.
- swiftcoder 6mo ago> the EU is an economic alliance, not a federal republic The line between those two things in the case of the EU is awful blurry. The Espace Léopold issues laws that are binding on member nations, wields significant power over trade, fiscal policy, and mandates open borders between member nations. These are hardly the features of a purely economic treaty organisation.
- tick_tock_tick 6mo ago> EU is an economic alliance lol that ship sailed a long time ago it's certainly not a full federal republic but it's a lot closer to one then a mere "economic alliance".
- lpcvoid 6mo agoI am pro-EU and anti-nationalist. This works because the EU is a collection of states.
- noir_lord 6mo agoI'm pro-EU and my country is no longer in the EU (annoyingly). It's not perfect but it's better than the alternatives and we really need a power bloc (even if currently only economic) that isn't the US and China. Alternatives to US big tech are always welcome.
