I listed you the countries…

Partially funded by Americans and to a lesser degree Russians, primarily funded by Europeans

Edit: to clarify, I don’t believe Russia has less of an intent on controlling European politics than the USA does, it’s just that the USA has a lot more power, money and relations with Europe, so it naturally has a lot more ways to influence our policy. As an example, Europe will (righfully) be very angry at Russia when it starts a war with Ukraine, but will join the USA in a war in Iraq.

As a Spaniard (country which joined the European Community rather late), I can definitely confirm that it was pretty much explicit that joining NATO was a prerequisite to be accepted in the EU. The EU was born out of the Marshall Plan and of NATO.

Military intervention in Libya. Belligerent NATO states: Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States. Most of those are EU countries.

NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Aviation: French, Italian, UK, Belgian, Danish, Dutch, Portuguese, Norwegian, Spanish, German

I’m not arguing that Europe doesn’t have the potential for being a force of good, I’m arguing that as of now, it’s simply not. The EU was formed not with peace and stability in mind, but with neoliberalism and anticommunism, otherwise it would have never adhered to NATO and participated in all its military campaigns, both informally (Afghanistan) and formally (Libya and Yugoslavia). If we want to praise a country/region for its peace in the past century, we should praise post-Vietnam-war China.

Nah, you’re just eurocentric and believe the myth of the European garden vs the world jungle, whose roots are white supremacy. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, I’m not calling you an Interpol agent.

Post world war 2 , right up until now was the longest period of peace on the continent

Damn, you should totally tell the million Algerians murdered by France leading up to 1962 that Europe was peaceful, maybe nothing would have happened. You should also tell Iraqis about how we totally didn’t join the invasion of their country on this very century, Yugoslav people how Europe didn’t bomb them, and Libyans that Europe didn’t bomb them either

Criticizing European colonialist roots makes me an asset? Welp, guess I should instead join the massive far-right crowds in Spain chanting that Muslims should be expelled and that Spain brought culture and technology to its colonies in America

Fascism is not even Russian funded or American spread, Europe is perfectly capable of growing its own fascism as we saw 100 years ago, sadly we’re going down the same road.

Even the premise is too generous:

Why would the leaders of the EU—a project ostensibly built on peace and sovereignty—

How on Earth is the literal cradle of Fascism and colonialism built on peace and sovereignty? The EU is built on neoliberalism and anticommunism, it cannot be built on peace or sovereignty.

Europe has explicitly no problem with this. They showed they have the power to censor Russian media but refuse to do this with European far-right, they just want the local fascists to win.

The democrat murders the Palestinians, Iranians, Libyans, Syrians, Cubans, Venezuelans and black people just to postpone the election of Republicans by 4 years, hence the loop. The socialist meanwhile tries to dismantle the orphan crushing machine.

Fixed it for you:

It seems to be that you’re mistaken, the NSA and Snowden aren’t Chinese, they’re from the USA

Fewer lines of code -> fewer programmers -> smaller salaries -> higher stock value

Henry Morgenthau be like

I’m aware, I personally use no shoes at home ever

Spaniard here. “Shoes-on” is mostly for when you have guests over. You’ll wake up in the morning and use slippers, only put on shoes to go to outside, and when you come back home you’ll remove the shoes typically in your bedroom (unless wet or dirty). But when you have guests over, everyone wears shoes typically, even hosts.

Hahaha I’m not Spanish, I’m not a communist, damn, I should reevaluate my life

Jajajaja me vas a decir a mí de dónde soy. It’s amazingly racist that you can’t conceive a western communist being pro-China.

Glad I disarmed you by bringing actual meaningful material improvements to the living conditions of people instead of arguing about technicalities, though.
