    You got it the wrong way around.

    The EU is dying - our societies are in free-fall, wages through the floor compared to the US, tens of millions of refugees pouring in drive down labour rights and driving up housing costs, austerity-driven governments cutting police funding leading to much more street crime, high inflation and a lack of competitiveness due to the energy crisis, etc.

      Despite the problems of capitalism you described, Europe might be the sanest collection of societies currently.

      Hope places like South America & Canada, Africa could get their shit together and join Europe in a global union in some decades and topple the influence of the tyrannies causing harm to people

      Of course the US, Russia, China et al pushed their polarization agendas in Europe as well and we share the same issues despite the progress of the union.

        Here in South America we don’t want to join you, you are the people who are oppressing us. We despise you.

          Towards tyrannies? Towards capitalism?

          Isn’t it the other way round? They are showing an attitude of patronizing superiority towards the people. They condescend you and I
