Europe’s internal borders disappeared because they were imaginary lines dividing the same people. The next step is to federalize

  1. I would be all for a federalized EU.
    If it wasn’t for that one specific country among us.

    ^(Now please everybody vent about your neighbours behind the imaginary lines.)

  2. How about… federalised, under the rule of Britain? Huh? Pretty good idea I think

  4. That’s really not true.

    Those lines exist for reasons and the people are not the same.

    That said, I am all for greater european cooperation and even some centralization of power. But let’s not forget some of these countries have existed for many centuries and to pretend it is not the case is a sure way to walk into a disaster.

  6. It would have to come with tremendous benefits, that countries could not go without, whenever the EU made a decision said country didn’t like.

    If f.eks. the EU decided to ban pesticides or some shit, and the Italians got angry because they need them for wine production. (I don’t fucking know, I’m not a farmer). Then there would have to be some very compelling arguments for Italy to stay on board, since they could presumably leave whenever they wanted. (Unlike a US state)

  7. I would 100% support e reformation of the Kalmar union. But a united European states will never happen. Germans won’t tolerate the French deciding the fate of Germans, tge French won’t let the Italians decide the fate of French people and so on

  8. “Your nation doesn’t really exist, we are all the same people, this border is an imaginary line”. Pretty ironic saying that with a Ukrainian flair, considering that’s Putin’s propaganda line against Ukraine….

    Not saying I oppose more European cooperation, but when tackling certain issues together, we should continue to cherish all the different nations we have in Europe, not get rid of them in some sort of pan-European imperialism.

  10. Danes and Roma gypsies are not “the same people” ffs

  12. Can we just keep a fence around the brits please? I know there is water all around, but I’ve heard they swim.

  13. Borders are useless in Europe and England is an island so that’s ok.

    I appreciate going to buy some Luigi’s food without any control.

  14. >Europe’s internal borders disappeared because they were imaginary lines dividing the same people

    Hahahahaha!!!

  15. Germany tried that once upon a time.

    Here Denmark tried it.

    The EU suck politically and the situation is bad.

  16. Yanks have their New England, you would have thought the Old England would be in Britian, but this picture is Old England

  18. I am against it!

    The Swedish will goddamn make everything IKEA if this happens – and I am sick of their lies!

  21. Imaginary lines?

    God Gave us Alps for protection from the rest of you.

    ^(or for protecting you from us, idk)

  24. Just because something is a social construct does not mean it isn’t real. Some of the realest things in your life are mostly imaginary.

  25. There’s actually a man made canal separating Germany with Denmark so technically that’s not an imaginary line separating Hans and Anders.

  26. Are non European borders non imaginary? Or should the world federalize?

  30. This is peak Europe. 

    A piece of Europe without the border marked. And if you ask people where the border historically, culturally and justice wise should be, an argument(at best) breaks out.

    Other examples: the Elzas, east tyrol, Baarle-Nassau. 

    Fireworks edition; any square kilometer in the Balkan.

  32. If they were dividing the same people they wouldn’t have been made up in the first place. You’ll never get rid of borders.

    Ever.

    Except by superior force.

  34. ah yes, the Portuguese and the Bulgarians, the exact same people with no difference whatsoever.

    You United States of Europe freaks make me ill.

  35. At first I thought that was a close-up photo of scum in water. But then I realised it’s a satellite photo of scum in water.

  36. neighbors village hate their neighbors for hundred years.. why should suddenly people start to like weirdly speaking neighbor country?
    Ie. we like Austria because they speak German but are not Germans.. unlesss you are from Wien than we hate you as the rest of Austria as well.
