21 years ago we entered the European Union. At that point we thought we entered fully into an era of modernity.
I will not deny that they live better than before and more times since then.
But the fact remains that the expected technological gadgets were more modern, more ads, more malls, more stress, more precarious, less time, less purchasing power and little else.
What happened to that idea of \u200b\u200bmodern Europe full of liberté, égalité and all that stuff.
Well if you ask me I will say that in recent years attempted to approve a European constitution that limited our freedom, saying things like that the police could kill you if you went running, etc, etc.
Europe is also dedicated to supporting free trade while subsidizing their farmers. Then the big companies were selling European food and raw materials at low prices in poor countries and those unable to react or anything producce starve. Often
I complain about the U.S. but Europe in its foreign policy in many ways is just as despicable. The last episode
Burma. The U.S. has condemned the dictatorship there again for energy purposes. Burma is an ally of China and its gas reserves are coveted by the U.S.. A regime change could benefit them.
Europe could not but condemn the dictatorship and has imposed sanctions on Burma. But the fact is that sanctions do not affect the oil and gas exports.
Total is a French oil company with diverse holdings in Burma. According to reports the company contributes 7% of the Financing of the Burmese dictators.
where the money is short to remove their human rights.
That's not my Europe and I'm not willing to settle for it. Via
