Best thing that ever happened to my country.
EU better believe it!
Take it from my country (Britain that I love). We voted out purely on immigration laws and putting the money into the National Health Service.
None of the saved money has improved the NHS, the anti immigration posters were mostly non european migrants. People voted to stop non European migrants… What logic is that?
Stay in the EU, not a perfect organisation but makes a continent stronger in the long run.
It’s just wild to me how decades of economic growth, free trade and free movement can be seen as something you want out of. Idiocracy went easy on society, reality is much, much worse.
And it’s true – I genuinely don’t give a shit about anything else this Christmas than my country to be truly democratic and that we continue our close ties to the EU and NATO. Yes, we’ve reached that point.
Love it.🥰
*a more democratic eu, with a powerfull direct elected parlament and not a eu which couldnt join itself cos of lack of democracy.
More so anti-immigration than anti EU, but they are bundled together it seems.
It’s usually the immigration aspect of it. I literally have no issues with legal European migrants.
My issue are countries like Ireland taking in refugees when country is at capacity. There’s no places to put them. The local hotel where I live kicked Ukrainians out because government no longer pays for it, many had to be transferred to a freaking monastery. Like what the hell.
Don’t take people in you have nowhere to put them. Otherwise don’t complain when they put up tents and live on the streets. And then guess what, our government destroys those tents.
The best decision I ever made was moving here. The worst decision I ever made was not moving here sooner.
Anti-EU groups are generally pro-Europe, no?
I mean, you’re not trying to imply that the EU and Europe are the same thing, right?
Eu is an authoritarian super state and every European is far too different to ever unite. Being against globalism and maintaining national sovereignty is a good thing
Love Europe, hate EU.
🤮
EU =/= Europe.
“All I want for Christmas is Europe.” would be nice. The EU as it is? Not so much.
I like being in the UE, I don’t like German federalists, but I am not this fanboyish lol
Just keep us out of it,we have enough bs with the EØS deal🙄No to EU🇳🇴
The cringe is strong in this one.
And I say that as someone who purposefully has an EU flag in his flair.
All those movements are funded by russia but “we can’t help Ukraine because they aren’t in NATO and so it’s not our problem” right? We live in time of worst and weakest leadership since WW2
Do they want to become Asian countries rather than stay in Europe? I don’t understand the title of this post
Oh this one is going to get brigaded to shit.
To anyone in Europe who supports anti-EU parties:
You have an example of what that reality might look like. Brexit Britain.
Now think again and tell me if the pain we endured on this island is what you want for you country.
Stop being Putin’s shills
Hell yeah Deport time
Let’s not forget what a GREAT idea a unified Europe is!
Trolling is an act of throwing the bait and waiting who will bite, best known among fishermen who don’t really care what they wanna catch.
EU is toast
David.
Yep. Just ask UK about “buyers remorse”. Buying into the anti EU Russian fueled propaganda
Deutsch Bank is happy.
Worst thing that happened to my country was leaving it 🙁
EU for Wales
Thirteen stars instead of twelve? That’s not the EU.
I’ve just arrived from a collaboration I did with my home university in Austria. I met wonderful people and these are always events that bond us for life. From Finland to Italy, Poland to France… I can’t understand how a certain group of people want to dismantle that.
I’m a massive Europhile, which seems to be more and more controversial now. I think we all massively benefit from the open borders, lack of war, internationally united trade bloc, etc. Greetings from NL, one of the biggest per capita sponsors of the EU.
What exactly do you mean by anti european?
are you refering to being anti EU, and if so is that same as anti european?
Instead of gaslighting people, EU supporters could address concerns anti-EU folks have: LGBTQ rights (not supported by conservative countries like Georgia or Serbia), constant flow of illegal migrants outside of EU (not supported by many countries already in EU), economic issues, problems with integration (quotas for agriculture), slow action (unanimous voting is required).
Instead, it’s “Muh Russia, those who don’t want to be in EU are far right bought by putin, and everything we do is correct”. A childish reaction and no action. Stop calling everything you don’t like pro-Russian (although putin would utilize them in his favor).
Meanwhile, Draghi already said the situation is dire, it’s not “putin’s propaganda”: https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/draghi-urges-reform-massive-investment-revive-lagging-eu-economy-2024-09-09/

You are joking, wright ?
The Union is going nowhere but down with it’s constant attempts to turn a simple agreement into a god damn country.
The european union is NOT a country for gods sake.

The biggest anti-European movement has been the US for some decades now, basically since we have the Euro.
I don’t like Putinism and his ruthless ways but the the guy is right about one thing the continent is Eurasia and it scares the shit out of the US because it’s a lot bigger.
Sad thing is that the EU will be overtaken soon by right wing parties…..
There are no anti European movements. Just some incels and communist wanna show off. Put sone of them in prison and this little problem is solved

Christmas is the coercion of delusional values and thus it should not exist, EU or not.
So American here (but currently working in Europe) can someone explain to me why so many countries are having anti EU sentiment (besides the Rashist propaganda machine)? Like no offense to y’all but it seems to me that the best bet for European countries going forward is an interconnected Europe. Especially with what my country has just elected and the Russian and Chinese regimes expanding into Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Division is a right wing thing …
I cannot have EU for Christmas. But a remake of the classic short film “Man hit in the groin by football” starring Nigel Farage would do.
