Yup, this is on him. Ignoring the warning signs for all those years, especially this last half year, has come back to haunt him.

Liberty? Where? We might laugh at Trump but at least he was elected by (some of) the people.

I want to cheer However, the issue is not yet off the table. I will hold off cheering for now

Maybe we’re mature enough to have standalone computers… Once we find a way to make them without child labour, sure.

Europe is. More lobbyists than MEPs + staff in Brussels.

Good. Reminds me why I switched to Pangolin.

I must not have stressed the keyword enough: limited subset. You’re telling me [x,y] is better than [x], which might sound alright, but all I then see is “kill all the Z’s”. The root of our issue, I think, is that we’re comparing against different defaults. You compare the limited subset against a single culture, I compare it against all cultures.

I hadn’t meant to accuse you of pride, it was a poorly chosen term to indicate whether ‘union of a limited subset of cultures’ is a positive thing (e.g. something to be proud of). I had no idea it would cause offense.

Schengen is about free movement of goods and workers. You might infer cultures from there, but as soon as that culture is Syrian or Afghan, there is pushback, so I’m not sure where you are seeing a union of cultures here…

It was never a union of cultures. It started as an economic union of Coal and Steel…
