What was so wrong with this that they needed to become EU?

>>212520187 (OP)
They had to get it on

>>212520187 (OP)
either become the EU or devolve into 90s Balkans

continentals are basically all either facists or communists, they don't like freedom as a concept and have this creepy yearning to be dominated by a strongman archetype

>>212520291
You cannot be saying that when you are British

>>212520187 (OP)
28 irrelevant countries or 1 largely dysfunctional block

>>212520187 (OP)
your country poses an existentioal menace if tlal the countries are divided

>>212520342
neither facism nor communism have ever been popular here

>>212520260
How do you figure?

>28 irrelevant countries
More like
>Some of the richest most powerful countries in Western Europe
UK, France, Italy, West Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal
>A hyper-advanced Nordic Bloc
Nordics
>A superpower
USSR
>Some meaningfully non-aligned countries
Yugoslavia, Albania, Romania
>An industrial central-European bloc
Poland, Hungary, Czhcekoslvokia, East Germany
>Some interesting soft-power countries that have cultural clout
Ireland, Greece,
>A global banking hub
Switerzland
>The spiritual center of the biggest religion on earth
Vatican City.

Ironically, now Europe is 50 irrelevant countries that “arr rook the same”. I can’t help but shake the feeling the whole “we wuz irrelevant” schtick is used by the actual irrelevant flyovers to get the actual significant countries of Europe “on their level”

meh only a mutt could have typed this

I don't even know what you're talking about. EU countries have largely maintained their cultural identity.
If anything that is precisely why the EU cannot ever compete with the US and China. Because despite all the talk of a union, it's still 28 different countries.

Ireland was considered a prototype of anti-colonialism all of the world. Ironically you show typical euro-ignorance, that the “international community” is just Western Europe, Japan, and Canada.

Western Europe is mostly a dying shithole where brown people go to claim rapefugee status and where Americans and Chinese people go to ogle at old buildings. Eastern Europe is mostly post-Soviet underdeveloped shitholes with nothing interesting.

Not at all. Their identity is pretty much Seattle
