Whatever happens with the fight to control the European economy I wanted to state how I feel. Neither those in favour of exit from or those in favour of remaining within the European Union speak for me. I haven't heard my opinion's articulated once.
The problem with politics is all the lying. The root cause of problems are never discussed. The motives for taking this or that position are always the same. It's always about money and maintaining the flow. Perhaps there are politicians who are genuinely working to improve the world and maybe the world would be a darker place without them....but looking around, I think it's fair to say they have been pissing in the wind.
There is a systemic problem in the world where the economic incentives are heavily in favour of tyrannical monopolies.....and we are all learning where that leads, the hard way. It seems to me that the reason for building a 'United States of Europe' are the same as the reasons for building the 'United States of America.' The centralized control of the US worked very well but, it seems the sun is setting on the petrodollar empire. They need a new landmass and population to exploit.....Europe is perfect.
Whatever truth lies behind the veil, as the real world 'Game of Thrones' plays out. This is how I would prefer to live;
I see all people as my tribe.....after all we only have each other in all the known universe. That's not to say I like everyone but I try to judge based on individual merits. As such, discrimination of people based on nationality, race, colour, wealth, religion, sex etc seems mad to me. As a result, I just want to live in harmony with all Europeans so that we can enrich each other's lives and help solve each other's problems. I know that all people don't share this view and that's ok, because what else would you expect in a system where everything is working against unity and common purpose, which fosters all the historic and present injustices and which undermines the availability of true, empowering knowledge. The system has functioned as intended, has thrived on the 'divide and conquer' doctrine. Isn't it time we properly acknowledge that?
Freedom starts at an intrinsic, personal level and builds up from that. There is no need for a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy in order for Europeans to work together. Don't be forced into a mindset that has been chosen for you. I haven't yet decided how i'll vote but i will say this, the day that blockchain technology disintermediates the money/power brokers, I will 'futterwacken vigorously.'
With great fondness and respect for my European brethren.
Me too, I once heard (don't know if it's true) that if you are born in, or over international waters, you get a citizen of the world passport; everyone needs one of those.
