Catalonia could BRING DOWN EU: Brussels warned NOT to wash its hands or risk its...
THE CATALONIA referendum could spark the end of the European Union (EU) if Brussels continues to wash its hands of violent voting day scenes last weekend.
Thatās what I mean. Police officers are just doing their job. They donāt care if the crowd in front of them are crazy Real Madrid fans or Catalan striving independence. They will do the exact same thing if they get the same order from their superior officers.
So, a police officer pushes a Real Madrid fan back = a police officer pushes a Catalan back. Itās the same thing.
But, no one will pay much attention to the former, while everyone condemns the latter.
Itās the magic of politics, I guess.

Itās an EU internal matter. Or something.
It seems the idea of the nation-state is in decline. The way they broke up the Ottoman Empire put the idea to the ultimate test and showed it has limitations. A century later, it seems itās not even good at what we thought it was good for.
Spain is a political construct. Itās only marginally less artificial than, say, Belgium. Or Canada. Or the UK.
And what exactly is the EU anyway? Does anyone know anymore?
Police officers are just doing their job.
The Nuremberg defense. First refuge of every bureaucrat and every storm trooper.
Iād say they should get another job, but howās the economy there?

Or that funny place that still votes along Civil War lines a century and a half laterā¦

They still vote straight ticket Democrat in Dixie?
Rowland just called you all wimps!
Ps: Iām not a libertarian, dafuq ?_?
DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY POLITICAL ORIENTATION?
*triggering intensifies
Howās your job of persuading them to vote Saxon instead of Norman working out these days?
Humble apologies, Mr. Wtf.
Is there a label you prefer? May I simply call you a covfefist? (Small c or large, up to you!)
Can someone enlighten me on why the EU has been so tough on regional self-determination in Europe? If the split up states ends up in the EU anyway, how would that be different for the EU it self? I would think that each regions joining the EU would be better in the long run rather than a bunch of nation states riffed with internal conflicts.
Itās difficult, because in the Uk Iād consider myself a Liberal, in the US Iād lean towards the Republican party, in some European countries Iād support parties that are considered FAR-RIGHT even if they have semi-socialist programs (Swedish Democrats are a good example of that).
I like Mr Ko, is there something like Koism? I could be a Koist.
The EU has no real authority to interfere in domestic political affairs in European states.
Despite all the Brexit posturing there is no federal superstateā¦Yet.
EVen if the EU does try to interfere it can easily blow back in their face.
Ko-P flirts with parties but built his identity as an independent.
Iāll just call you an āindependent covfefist sympathistā and hope you donāt get too triggered.
āKo-pistā would sound neat!
I think that calling me āKo-pistā would also make your life easier, Iām worried that typing āindependent covfefist sympathistā every time may lead you to being the triggered one!

If regions are allowed to break off from countries, the Eurocrats are afraid countries may get ideas about breaking off from the EU.

Youāre in favor of putting people with Aspergerās in charge of everything!?! Come to think of it, that may not be a bad ideaā¦
