I’m sorry if I come over as pedantic. I’m an autist and sometimes have difficulties expressing my thoughts. I am sincere in my opinions and non judgmental. I want to understand.
As for these matters, I’ve learned a lot from discussing with an aquintance of mine who’s an expert on thes matters, Jonathan Holslag. https://www.jonathanholslag.be/
I strongly feel we are being played by the powers that be. I see the US as big of an evil as I see China when it comes to these matters. I am aware of the role the EU played in the past but in the meantime I am a child of my generation that saw the EU unfold as a beautiful ideology. From Benelux to what we are now, a giant bureaucratic system that has lost it’s way.
Again, I’m sorry if my responses confuse you. I’m better with spoken words.
No worries, I too used to appreciate the EU back when it meant freedom of movement for myself. Even today, they do good things that I wish we had in my country, like forcing Apple to adopt new standards, but they also do things which are kind of shitty and make them a force for bad, in the same manner as the IMF and World Bank. Something especially bad which they have done is to impose austerity upon Greece for example and handicap their recovery from the 2008 financial crisis in order to protect German banks, which is something you can learn more about from former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis’ book on the subject “and the weak suffer what they must”. This is the book that helped me to understand why socialists are not generally very fond of the EU and its predecessor organisations.
I’m giving you a lot of book recommendations but not telling you where to find them. If you like, you can download Tor Browser and get them for free from z-library.se.

I’ve read Varoufakis’ books. What the EU did to Greece is awful. I had flashbacks to what they did to Germany after the first world war.
Thanks for the recommendations.
