This describes the EU, in a nutshell https://theuaob.substack.com/p/the-comprador-calculus-why-europes The fascists have already won.
Even the premise is too generous:
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.
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
The EU was founded on peace. Post world war 2 , right up until now was the longest period of peace on the continent in moder history.
You do you man, but parroting divisive talking points just to be doing it is asset work.
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
Where did the EU bomb? We are not France, and criticisms of their actions and territorial claims are legitmate.
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
NATO isnt the EU.
I listed you the countries...
