I used to think 'nitro' had at least some intellect in the old days, now he is unrecognizable from any of the MAGA cultists writing one liners with big font and colors.

Constitutional monarchies do not work the same way as full representative democracies. Furthermore, the EU has draconian laws that in crisis situations pan out better. For example there's no concept of "state's rights". Of course these things make it easier to pass large sweeping changes to a population of people quickly. We (thankfully) do not have this "luxury" and the federal government is by design slow. In crisis situations this can sometimes cause problems. We solve this via state's rights. Please for the love of fuckin god take a single post high school governments class. "Haha why aren't we the EU" - are you actually retarded or just pretending? RE: @Bugenhagen How's getting arrested for not having a license for a butter knife? EU Sounds like a great place if you need nanny government to tell you what to do. There's a reason us yanks broke off of that failed system. This quote is quintessential European. You can't even walk outside without mommy monarch telling you its ok.
Yes, because those French Canadians up north don't know anything about provincial autonomy, or you know, those Spaniards with their silly history of regional separatism & autonomous communities have always fallen in line and bowed down to a central government w/o any violence. Sounds like someone skipped world history in HS. You missed all that jazz about the cult leader politicizing the god damn thing
My kid sent me that. The truth hurts. You have no clue have you? Europe is on average a significantly better place to live though its apples and oranges. Enjoy your freedumb and wasting ammo practicing for the day that never comes and if it does you just hide ya mall ninja. There is no concept of states rights? Because they are countries you nutsack. Within those countries if they have subdivisions they have plenty of autonomy like Scotland or Wales. The anti EU press in the UK has made up unbelievable amounts of horseshit about EU regulations. There was a list of crazy things Rupert Murdock's papers said the EU was taking or forcing and it was nearly all made up. And let's not forget what happened to the autonomy of the govoners in an emergency when King Trump told them to just do what the fuck he says. The monarchy part of the handful of countries that have them are for tourism and entertaining state guests. For all your freedom, enjoy your topless public beaches. Guns vs titties.. Which do I prefer to have around me.. Conservatives always telling you what to do everywhere (results may vary on topless but there is way way way more and better)
