The European Union - an oxymoron if ever there was one, and becoming more oxymoronic seemingly every day, as it becomes apparent that even if they have succeeded (by whatever means) in corralling the EU member states' politicians into a compliant body (with honourable exceptions), they have signally failed to do the same for their populations.
After WW2, the occupying powers kept the continent under control, initially by military occupation, subsequently stepping back to rule through the EU project (civilian) and NATO (military) (with whose forces I very briefly trained in Germany as part of my short-lived TA membership).
This allowed a compliant political class to be installed whilst economic advances kept the populations on a curve of increasing affluence. Why would they rebel?
With the recent advent of the WEF-UN "partnership" and associated "sustainable development goals" which are already remorselessly on track in destroying that affluence, the direction of travel has been reversed and the populations are becoming (surprise!) disgracefully "populist" - who would have thought it?
"A government that collectivizes debt, anonymizes liability, and blurs responsibility will always end by taxing the people who never agreed to the bad decisions of others"
"The transfers are not merely unjust; they are mathematically doomed, because the population expected to honor them is collapsing"
Oops.
There is a way out of this mess - but first we need to elect politicians who will understand it, support it, and implement it in the teeth of opposition from the permanent "Blob". So far, that looks likely to be a painful process.
