      If people keep calling it „United States of Europe“ I’m going to start voting far right just to never see that name on a map >:c

      Politico is openly anti-eu and aims to divide. This is how they sold Brexit.

      Isn’t this contradicting the reports that said Gen Z’s males are more conservative than, say, millenials?

      Could someone step in and clarify?

      People genuinely look at the EU commission and think that’s the ideal form of governance. Again an issue where my theory of mind just starts to fucking fail at some point.

      we are not states, we are nations. So the name makes no sense. European Federation, Union or Empire will have to be a pan-nationalist project anyway.

      While I’d like united Europe, I don’t think it will solve anything for the people. We need participatory democracy, equality, we must change fundamentals, empower people. I don’t see it happening under current conditions, we would just become more like China and US, so capitalism dominance would be still intact and that’s root cause of various issues, which won’t be solved by more centralization and less democracy.

      The same children who can’t tell the difference between a fish and a fillet? The EU will fall apart sooner than it will unite. I certainly won’t allow Germany to decide about my country.

      cant access half the memes he posted in his article due to the Digital Services Act needing to verify my age.

      >Rob Jettens, the 38-year-old centrist who recently won the most votes in Dutch elections,

      they can’t even spell Rob Jetten correctly

      After reading the article, now I get why there is so much group-think and slogans over pragmatism in this sub 😆

      The love the idea of power it embeds, for good reasons.

      Would they like it as much once the all powerful European administration asks them paperwork about every minute detail of their lives?

      I suppose some of them want to actually work in the EU administration, which is actually a very good move.

      I don’t really see an alternative to federalisation if Europe wants to be serious about protecting its own interests on the world stage. Unless we want to continue being under the thumb of superpowers like the US or China. For cultural and historical reasons we cling to the notion that we’re all special unique little islands who need to be treated as such, despite it making us much weaker

      They don’t.

      I swear, news websites push whatever agenda they like, and twist facts and words to fit their narrative. You have completely opposite news everyday, reported by different websites, using the same data and sources.

      Twisting facts to fit a narrative is everyday thing now, I see.

      Not only the kids. The majority of the adults I know want this too, me included.

      A lot of people get fixated on the name, but that’s just an evocative description, not a name proposal. We are too far from a step of integration where name discussions would hold any meaning.

      That being state, the Victor Hugo quote in the article could be turned into a really good name: „The European Brotherhood“

      Politico is owned by Axel Springer,a publisher and owner of the biggest german Newspaper Bild e.g.
      The CEO and part-owner of Axel Springer is Mathias Döpfner. Mathias Döpfners Son Moritz Döpfner is/was the Chief of Staff at Thiel Capital, yes that Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel famously finances and supports JD Vance. The common denominator is their anti EU stance. Make of that what you will.

      But in my opinion this is simply a hit piece on the EU to frame it a certain way brought to you by Peter Thiel.

    27. Conscious_Archer2658 on

      Unironically. I feel myself a European citizen before Dutch.

      I would love a properly federalized Europe. Of course under the condition that all European states are treated as equals. So long as we don’t do that stupid electoral college thing the US does.

    28. Lazy-Course5521 on

      An European federation besides the EU would be pretty nice honestly. Have a trade and a political union, absolute win.

    29. stekarmalen on

      Id rather EU got reformed. Or we left and did a nordic union insted.

      EU was good as a core, travel, trade and aid.

      Now its a bureaucratic union that thats trying to centralise its power. Like bro remember when they desided how long a cucumber was alowed to ve like what lol.

      1 year old account, posts hidden, posting politico shit. Bot account, act accordingly.

    31. Distinct_Albatross_3 on

      If it ever happen I pray for them to choose a name different than „United State of Europe“. European Federation sound way better

    33. whatstefansees on

      It’s not just the Kids. My wife and me are 60 and members of the very pro-European Volt party, demanding the United States of Europe.

      Whataboutism from the Politico journalist.

      From what I know about UEF (JEF is their youth section), they are a proper Eurofederalist movement based on values, rule of law and liberal democracy.

      Some of the people quoted in the article (anonymously…) are a caricature of European federalism.

      It has nothing to do with empires and far right bigotry.

      Politico should cover European Federalism focusing on substance, and not drawing parallels with the far right …
