• Too many 'high-level' people's alleged credibility (and knowledge/experience) is tied to some previous role, chained onto another previous one. But it adds up to know-it-all bubble of charlatans, liars, and sociopaths, not knowledgable or empathetic people. Just best liars and pretenders, who are best connected too.    

posted Wednesday, December 06, 2023 at 05:59:46

• EU politics nowadays = a club of charlatans and career-climbing sociopaths, pretenders. That needs to change for the EU to maintain credibility and ultimately survive. National governments can endure because nations exist. The same cannot be said for the EU, which enables crimes at national levels too. See EPO/UPC.    

posted Wednesday, December 06, 2023 at 06:01:22

• Putting it another way, national governments are corrupt but unlike them the EU must always justify its very existence or perish. If people perceive/see the EU as corrupt or enabling corruption, they will vote at a national level to leave it. You cannot vote your own administration out, just a political party/leader.

• The way things have gone on this past decade, the EU cannot survive in the long run. Nato can, as its mission is inherently different and PREDATES Nato, e.g. Canada and US helping UK.

• Eurosceptics used to be mostly racist and xenophobic people. True. But over time the people who oppose corruption also embrace the provable idea or sentiment that there's way too much corruption in the EP, EU, and EC. This needs to be corrected or the EU as a concept can burst like a bubble, with NL possibly the next to leave.    

posted Wednesday, December 06, 2023 at 06:07:17

• There is also a growing perception that the EU facilitates: 1) America (esp. US). 2) rich people. 3) large corporations (not even European ones). That's aside from corruption aspects and expansion into east Europe. People who love the EU should speak out in genuine concern and strive to correct this. Silencing critics won't work.

• It's not even a new problem. E.g. when EU/EC chief goes to work for Goldman Sachs without a "cool-off" period people start to get a sense of their allegiance (class and nation). That was way before the EPO scandals spilled over.
