Oh hell. Looks like the anti European thing has just hit poor HN. :(
- skrebbel 13y agoOne interesting thing about Euroscepsis is, to my unscientific observations, that it is pretty well represented in all layers of society. There's plenty anti-EU people of all levels of educations, family backgrounds and vocations. Their reasons wildly vary, though, and those might coincide more with particular groups. This is not to say that all these people also vote for the populist anti-EU parties, which typically have a broader populist agenda (e.g. EU bad and muslims bad) Nevertheless, this makes it obvious that there's also plenty of anti-EU folk on HN, simply because there's plenty Europeans here. Especially in a thread with the word 'Europe' in the title, I'm not surprised.
- lazyjones 13y agoI am not anti-european, on the contrary. I am just against EU agendas that are pushed against the will of the majority of the EU population and clearly against their interests. The EU is a great idea and project, but the EU commission is a bunch of crooks.
