Happy Europe Day everyone!
HAPPY EUROPE DAY 🇪🇺🇪🇺
Same!
Your channel is great, keep telling the truth, it's the best you can do!
Happy European Day from someone living in the USA but I greatly Europe and the European people.
I think, i don't know a better EU/Europe critic on youtube. Well made, fitting video.
Happy Europe Day.
FYI!!
Americans are facing a tough time with their finances, especially concerning housing affordability and retirement savings.
Absolutely. And with the fear of not being able to retire comfortably, people might be tempted to make risky investments or neglect proper financial planning, which could spell trouble for their portfolios in the long run.
It's a vicious cycle. If people can't afford homes, they might delay retirement savings, but if they focus solely on saving for retirement without considering their housing situation, they might miss out on potential investment opportunities.
Yeah, it's a real struggle. With the rising housing prices and stagnant wages, it's becoming increasingly difficult for many to afford homes, let alone save for retirement.
I'm getting worried about the rising housing prices. It seems like it's becoming harder to afford a home these days.
It's crucial for individuals to diversify their portfolios, seek professional financial advice, and stay informed about market trends to navigate these challenges effectively.
You don't understand how great Europe is until you decide to travel outside Europe.
Facts
Very very true
usa better than europe
@@pejuangyutub6703 That's your opinion. Either you are a European or just an American which waving is that ugly flag in our face again, it's subjective. That is why Europe is so great, we tolerate these kinds of opinions.
China's infrastructure, especially tier-1 cities, is better than Europe. And the city is safer.
If this channel hated or didn’t care for Europe, it wouldn’t exist. Bringing Europe’s problems to light in an unbiased levelheaded way is the only way to deal with them.
Happy Europe Day from America. 🇺🇸
I couldn't agree more. You don't improve condition of any society by ignoring its issues and talking about how awesome everything is.
here here
And the same goes for our own republic. We need more levelheaded public discussions to deal with all we face - both on and between continents.
Happy Europe Day from across the pond. 🇺🇸
I’m from Canada. I received Italian citizenship via family descent in 2018, and in 2021, I moved to Italy. Coming from North America, and now living in Europe for nearly 3 full years, I can emphatically say that I love Europe, and I am proud to be a European citizen.
… and we are proud to have you here. Happy 🇪🇺 day from 🇩🇪
Glad you like Europe 🇵🇹
@@hape3862 thank you!
@@santostv. indeed!
Having commuted between the US and Europe for decades... I love the US, but Europe is much better, safer, less poverty, less homeless, more tolerant (usually), higher standard of education (pre-university), higher standard of living for more people, less crime, way better employment laws, etc. Europe rocks!
Proud to be a European and Italian and thankful to life for giving me this privilege.
Eu is the greatest place on earth. Its hard to see Gold if you are sitting on it.
tra una trentina d'anni non ci saranno più europei, fai te
It's great to see black people integrating in european societies
@@Leprofdesinnoh Thanks for sharing the story from your family! Maybe one day your IQ will rise from 45 points and you'll make a comment that makes any sense. Distinti saluti da Genova ;)
@@vincenzoc.1781 Are you implying that black people have lower than average IQs? This display of racism is truly shocking on a public platform, you should be ashamed of yourself.
As someone that grew up in the USA, I'm incredibly grateful that Europe exists, and is open to skilled workers/students like me. It's everything I've ever wanted that the US could never provide in terms of city design, public transit, policy etc. I look forward to growing old here, while contributing to the economy and trying to integrate as much as possible.
As an American also in Europe, I agree I’m happy to contribute my part and live here :)
Welcome!
For the first time in all of history, the European nations are united in peace, and that is just a few decades after being the theater of the bloodiest war in human history. It's easy to take things for granted but we should remind ourselves of how we live in prosperous times.
there is a literal, conventional war in ukraine rn
@@pewienczlowiekag3111people have really short memories now
the whole thing's disappeared from the media, avg person isn't interested in this stuff, so they don't care
@@pewienczlowiekag3111 He's talking about the EU
@@meneither3834 he says since war. Eu didn't exist before the war.
What? A war you say? In Ukraine?
I thought people wouldn't have any trouble understanding that it meant that *most* of Europe is at peace, but it seems I was mistaken.
I travelled extensively through Americas (north and south), various Asian countries and a bit in Africa. My conclusion is simple; Europe is by far the best continent to live in. Sure there are areas for improvement and not all European countries are as well organised but overall no other country comes even close.
To me making this argument is comparable to going to one guy who lives sustainably and see they can't afford much and go to another house who has a completely unsustainable lifestyle and then conclude the second guy is the one to be like. If it's not sustainable then its not worth advocating for, and a system where the population can only maintain their standard of living by relying on people who are generally homophobic, antisemitic and just generally sexist seems to me to be a tad ridiculous. No one I've talked to really disagrees with that description of what's going on besides saying its a bit "unfair" without actually making a specific criticism, but most go out of their way to ignore what the outcome of this will be over a long enough timeline which to me seems obvious.
Average European can’t afford such a travel
Take a look at salaries in Italy or Germany or French
Would take years of saving
@@abdiganiaden Nonsense. Germans are travel world champions.
@@Carthodon "No one I've talked to really disagrees with that description …" - Has it ever occurred to you that they have already realized that you are mentally disturbed and that any answer other than "a bit unfair" would be pointless?
@@hape3862 Then you should have an obvious argument against one of the following:
1. Birth rate among native born citizens will continue to be below replacement in every country.
2. Immigration will continue to be primarily from the nearest countries with a growing population which in Europe's case are going to be the Middle East and North Africa.
3. You still need a minimum ratio of workers to retired to make these policies work.
4. Immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa are going to continue to be illiberal due to Islam.
That's all you really need to believe that what's going on in Europe is inevitable and the degree to which you people are unable to handle such a simple and straightforward conclusion from a small number of points that are very unlikely to change. I don't think you do actually have anything and are just hoping I'm deranged because you don't like the conclusion.
Europe Day should be a government holiday and all european elections should be held on it.
Proud to be European.❤
Same here. It's been a while since I've heard something good about Europe ou home❤
Those who are content will never change the world. It is those who criticize a thing who are invested enough in wanting to improve it!
The difference between constructive criticism and negative criticism must be emphasized. But let us hope that we all strive for a better tomorrow constructively.
He isn’t giving constructive criticism but a doomer with USA mentality.
You can say the same about any other wealthy country in the world every wealthy nations are facing the same problems

Finally something good about Europe. I have been seeing so much negativity recently. We aren't doomed as people think.
long term we are screwed, tho
low birth rates,
mass immigration (ethnic and religious conflicts),
reliance on globalisation,
no full self-sufficiency, everything's all over the place, bureaucracy,
terrible education system,
popular unrest (incl farmers),
rise of nationalism and division,
economic mess (inflation, cost of living),
threat of war,
lack of religion,
nihilist, antisocial youth,
ideological divide between males and females,
late marriage,
falling IQ levels,
terrible and declining mental health,
I'm sure I forgot some.
Also, indecisive and irrational leadership. Endless political competition leading our region towards a downward spiral.
Edit: Also the Greenland problem
@@MrGnorts "I'm sure I forgot some"
Yep-Ignorant comments is a big omission.
@@MrGnortsname me a single developed country where those _aren’t_ a problem.
Regarding immigration, y’all need to start looking at how America dealt with its immigrant waves (Irish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.). Every story you tell about Turks or Syrians, we told 150 years ago about Irish and Chinese. The fact is, your experience isn’t new. It’s just new for _you._
@@davidblair9877 We dont want advice from a Americans you arent an ideal nation your nation is now a failure.
@@davidblair9877the USA is a melting pot, migrants don’t threaten Americans culture because migrants ARE American culture. Since the USA is a melting pot, it’s easy for migrants to just bring their home to the USA and add it to the already existing American culture.
A perfect example I love to use is American Chinatowns which can be found in every major city across the USA, basically like a small little Asia (China, Japan, Korea) inside of the USA. And Chinatowns are apart of American culture, you will not find an American city without a Chinatown. San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Houston, LA, Seattle , Boston, Jersey City etc all have their own Chinatown.
As an American that is about to move to Europe, I love this channel! I think your content is excellent and informative. Keep up the good work!! 🇪🇺
As someone who hasn’t been in Europe since I moved out 4 years ago, I really miss it
As a person with a Chinese lineage living in Japan, learning about Europe and how its countries and regions have overcome various barriers/borders to form a unified yet highly diverse identity has planted an idea of a single East Asian identity deep inside me.
I can talk about how envious I am of Europeans for hours. In Asia (and I'm sure also pretty much all of the world except for Europe and its colony nations such as the US), ever since we came under the pressure to modernize at around 19-20th century, when we studied foreign books or ideas, that "foreign" only meant European. Despite the heavy geographical and historical connections between different East Asian countries, I feel like we've become so fixated on this idea of catching up the West that we've forgotten to properly look at each other, and now the biggest thing characterizing East Asian international sentiment is mutual hate.
It's not all bad though, if it was I wouldn't be able to hold this identity for too long. Past several decades of successive economic miracles and liberalizations, first in South Korea (1980s), then in Taiwan (1990s), and finally in China (2000s), have completely transformed economic and cultural dynamics of this region. Where it used to be only Japan and HongKong that had any international significance here until 1980s, now we have KPOP, Korean and Taiwanese electronics, and a Chinese economic domination in every sector. I vividly dream of a day when the remnants of Japanese colonialism, communist illiberal political systems, isolated bilateral dependence on the US can all be put in our museums and replaced by post-colonial, liberal democratic, multilateral alliances, and we can finally appreciate how similar yet wonderfully different we are.
I'm sure we'll get there some day. Happy Europe Day from East Asia!
But if we mix how we could remain diverse? It is only going to homogenize any difference that existed
China-much like Japan-depends on the US trade as well. And unlike Chinese, Japan has a favorable view of Americans. Unlike the raw hatred the Chinese have for us. Quit being anti American on an American made platform pls
Thanks!
@@Astronalta-ot6hoSoutheast asian culture is the oldest in the world. It's not not going to disappear just because people can move/communicate more freely.
@@Gewehr_3 I was referring to Europe. I don't care what the Asians do
The thing I found is that when most of a country's citizens **criticize** their country, then the country is doing well.
I love Europe 🇪🇺 I wish blessings and prosperity on Europe from the USA 🇺🇸 as an American born in Germany to a Polish diaspora family I think you guys are wonderful people with many great characteristics.
i was born in france and grew up in germany, while my parents are iranian and came here as students. i've always felt german/french and european. some people don't accept that and i'm sometimes struggling to come to terms with this feeling of being different, but it doesn't change my identity. im am european and im committed to it. i don't know anything else
I am sad that I didn't know this was a holiday. Thank you for pointing out these positive aspects, sometimes we dont appreciate what we have. I know the impact of negative comments, trust me. I am glad your content exists, keep going!
I don't live in Europe, but I certainly do love the continent, its many cultures, the sites I've seen, the ones I'm still aching to see, the marvels of what the European Union has accomplished, and so many other things about Europe… and I thoroughly enjoy your channel and your content, how you approach and bring such complex topics to the forefront, shining various shades of light where they need to be shone, because there's valid criticism to be made, however great Europe may be, if we want it to continue improving, so I really can't fathom why you'd be labeled as any of those hateful things! Man, we really need to grow thicker skin as a society, and learn how to have real, thought-inducing debate without shying away from complex realities and running to the false safety of derogatory label hurling, which solves nothing. Happy Europe Day!
Yes Europe is great 🥰🥰🥰🥰. I love living in the EU.
i am proud to be European !
We must not take valid criticism as an insult, we should see it as an opportunity to improve our continent even more.

Thank you for this video. It's high time we focused on the positives and what we can accomplish together in Europe.

Happy Europe Dayyy
I can only agree.
Happy Europe day by the way.
Interesting how Europe magically ends on the Memel river, only to magically reappear down south. The Maritsa is also a rather interesting choice of frontier. Not to mention the weird bulge the Ukraine forms. Never knew Belarus was an “Asian” country… I was always taught Europe ends in the Urals, the more you know, this channel is amazing!
I think it's good that you made this video to make your position on the topic more clear, especially for people who only look at your titles or thumbnails. It is important that we do not gloss over problems in Europe so that we can actually address and find solutions for them.
Happy Europe day!
Euro dance makes europe cool !
Happy Europe Day. :)
Europe has a lot on its plate. I think there are good times ahead for Europe, but competing with the USA and China will be very hard without reform and optimizing what the Union should be, whatever this may be.
I love your channel and think you do really great work. Your last statement was quite prophetic. The type of enlightened thinking, policies, and outcomes you romantically highlight (I say this as a big compliment), is of course part of Europe’s history. But it is not its reality today. You are excellent at subtlety pointing this out.
In order for Europe to recapture that spirit, it must expand what it means to be European. The irony is not lost on anyone, I’m sure.
Happy Europe Day!
❤ thank you
The book he's referring to at the end is "The Strange Death of Europe" by Douglas Murray. It's a must read for all social-minded Europeans.
Very good video!! I am proud to be an European.
Lovely greatings from Austria!
Hoera Europa! 🥳
Yes Europe is one of the greatest and most exciting political projects in history dear friend! That’s why we enjoy your videos so much 😊 Keep up the good work! 💪🏻🇪🇺👍🏻
Thank you Nicolas, and for your support! :)
Lived in europe for 14 months. Everything is picturesque and accountability is more visible. Where I come from people just turn a blind eye at blatant corruption... would even vote for children of dictators and treats politicians like movie stars. Europe is so great most especially if you've experienced living outside of it
I don't usually read the comments, but that surprsies me that you got those particular ones. I guess as an American I like your channel for presenting alot of what I think is intersting about Europe, its politics, and the things it has going for and against it. It helps provide some insight on the going-ons over there that I might not get otherwise, or at least in as quick a fashion as you do.
I didn't know it's Europe Day! I hope you have a good one. It is also Ascension for those who celebrate. And that's a great goal for your channel. I too hope to help Europe light a lamp and keep a beautiful thing going.
As the youtuber, Dr Ludwig once said: every man has 3 cultural identities: regional, national and civilizational.
I am by region, Moldavian, by nation Romanian and by civilization, European. And im proud of all three identities equally.
And i hope yall are too. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your culture just as long as you let others be who they want to be and respect their decisions and merits (and criticise their fllaws).
🇪🇺Happy Europe day. 🇪🇺
Well said
I love Europe
That is why I criticise it, so we can make it better
Great video. Thank you for this.
Absolutely. Well said and well done
List of books please!! Great job on the channel. Congrats!
Will compile a list and make a post out of it!
Cheers,

Dude, Belarus & Russia are Europe too. And Europe is great!
Well, they would be if they ever became functional democracies and decided to stop waging war on the rest of the continent. Until then, I’m happy to leave them in the over-there box.
@@davidblair9877 You should learn history. I will never see Russians as not Europeans because they played a very significant role in the history of Europe. Much of the Balkans is now independent because of the 12 wars that Russia had against the Ottomans.
Russia wasn't backwards. All changed because of the Bolshevik revolution. And for that, I blame Germany and the USA.
@@dsodragus4616 even if all of that was true-highly debatable-it’s irrelevant. Czar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has decided that Russia is Not Western [European], is in fact actively hostile to The West [Europe], and as far as I can tell, the majority of Russians are, at the very least, willing to play along. That’s not a European state. It’s an explicitly anti-European state. That’s reason enough to leave them off the maps. As for Belarus, Lukashenko has been Putin’s lapdog since the ‘00s. He belongs in the same Not-Europe basket Putin does.
Could these things change? Of course they could. There’s no _a priori_ reason that Russia couldn’t adopt the values that define modern European states. At present, though, it has actively rejected those values, and therefore are not European.
I'm currently reading "De hominis dignitate" by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and it's brilliant not only for its content but also for the accessible and even modern style of writing Mirandola has in 1486! Every European should have read this - btw it's not at all lengthy, even though it's a monument to European humanism.
Why does the thumbnail show Russia and Belarus as not part of Europe?
Your channel is awesome. We rarely get to have information about Europe in national news. There are the good things, the things to improve and the bad things. Most the bad things people talk so much is a lot more in the to improve category, not bad but with room for improvement.
What can we do to increase positive sentiment about Europe? Happy Europe day Hugo! I am going to watch the Eurovision 2nd semi-final 🎉
Actually fix our continent
@@pretty7995 In what concrete ways can we do that is what I mean.
@@MonsieurChapeauwell firstly, the average GDP in the EU is about 40,000 US dollars per year, the USA GDP is about 71,000 US dollars per year. Meaning in the USA you can work as a Night Shift retailer for 60,000 dollars a year, and that same job in Europe would be about 30,000 dollars per year, so maybe raise your wages a bit.
Secondly, Europe is gonna have to increase their birth rates if they want any hope at competing with the USA, China, India and countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil and Nigeria in the future.
And lastly if Europe can’t compete with the USA and China in the tech sector then y’all screwed.
If we want to keep our earth. Maybe not increase our birthrate too much 😅
@@beasley1232China has horrible birth rates though, and the ones of the US fell drastically last year, still above Europe, but still a lot. China on the other hand has one well under the European niveau
I was definitely thinking of commenting the other day that I didnt really like how negative your channel often is.
Europeans love complaining about Europe because they wish it was even better, and Americans love shitting on Europe because they’re afraid that it might actually be a better place to live.
So while it’s good to talk about the negatives, I also think it’s important to be careful about not contributing too much to some sort of anti-europe negativity bias that’s so common on the internet these days.
Europe is to enjoy life, the US is for highly ambitious people.
We don't actually shit on Europe that much. We have an entire political party who's position is basically to be like Europe. In contrast, all major political parties treat the word "american" as pejorative in describing a policy in Europe. The resentment from Europeans is pretty one directional and pervasive, showing up in the most random places like in board games referring to a genre as Ameritrash. Why this hatred is so consistent is something you should think about.
@@Carthodon
Most Americans and Europeans either don't care about each others or fantasize about each others.
The minority that actually hate each others, are just stupid losers needing attention. There is literally no reasons to hate each others.
Americans like it that way so let them but most don’t understand that the eu is a economic bloc a lot of them think the eu rules everything and that isn’t correct, there’s also some Europeans that give the usa sht on stupid stuff.
We can compete with the USA but eu nations would need to give up some sovereignty and that will never happen especially with Russia infiltrated promoting anti eu sentiment.
Tldr:USA mentality is different from eu mentality.
@@santostv. So I remember when I was in England in 2016 right after they voted to leave, and was surprised when the students I talked to said the UK wasn't a nation (or maybe a country? don't quite remember) but instead 4 nations which shared one government.
Now I recognize that there is a definition of nation being used here, but for most people it absolutely does not matter. If the EU becomes like the UK then it also would not matter to anyone outside of the EU, what would ultimately matter is who do you contact if you are a foreign government trying to engage in foreign policy, who holds the reigns of power?
It's absolutely true that currently that power is with the heads of state of the various countries. But what is weird to me is that it is incredibly obvious that the people running the EU want to make it one country, that they have been since the 90s, and that anyone outside the EU was both aware of this and completely unsurprised the direction it has gone than people who live within it.
Whenever I am down on stuff I see happening in Europe(EU more specifically), I always remind myself - it is by bar the best place to live in the world, really. Some other places are better in specific areas than EU, but on a whole - taking into consideration life of a median (not average) person - there is no place better than EU.
Europe is a good place to retire or live a peaceful life. The USA 🇺🇸 is the place to go to start a career. Which is why the USA is only 55% white, compared to the western world average of being 75%-80% white.
After all the USA is known as the nation of immigrants and melting pots for a reason.
Why you pull out Belarus, Russia and turkey in Europe map ?
Greatest cultural heritage on Earth ❤
Viva La Europa!
Happy Europe Day! I’m very proud and happy to be a European Citizen. Thank you for your great videos! Been there since the old animations :)
Each of you make Europe awesome! Happy Europe Day everybody! ❤😄🎉🇪🇺
Why Belarus is not blue-shaded in the video banner image? They are Europe just like any other country.
They are not blue shaded for the same reason Russia is (Belarus is Russia's puppet, and Putin wants to distance Russia from Europe as much as possible
No, Belarus is not Europe, it is a brutal dictatorship.
happy europe day to you
Europe IS great. Trying to make it better is a good thing.
Facts. Great point!
Thank you for this video, it kinda reignated my hopes and ambition for a better future again
That's the goal!
I've said it before, I appreciate your videos and learn a lot from them. This is not such common knowledge and informing people will allow to develop a more realistic view of Europe. Ignorance creates tyrants.
It is very funny to me that the pro Euope video is only a few minutes short :)
While the problem videos are much longer 😂
Our issues are mainly with fertility rate.
We need to boost it.
It's not going to happen because people believe the point of their lives is their own happiness, and things like responsibility for another human life kind of get in the way of that.
@@CarthodonIDK mate, I feel like being unable to afford a house until you’re in your forties might have something to do with it.
@@davidblair9877 Idk mate, I think if poor people are exploding in population and the rich/educated everywhere around their world is shrinking, its probably not about a lack of possessions. It's actually hard to imagine a reality is more different than what would be the case if you were right.
This explanation is however one that allows people to feel better about themselves. Maybe that's the reason why it's so hard to break?
@@davidblair9877 It has nothing to do with affordability poor people have more kids. The main reason is cultural
Based channel and video! 🇪🇺
What are some books about European history or just Europe as a whole that you recommend?
I would recommend Postwar from Tony Judt. It's ( surprise) about the postwar era and shows how the European project develops out of a time of despair. He does a pretty good job in my opinion.
Theres no book out there that summarises all the key parts of european history
Happy Europe Day everybody. The night is dark, but we can make it through if we stick together💪🇪🇺
There is something I noticed on this channel, maybe it's my bias, but sill. I noticed that the countries that joined the EU in 2004 and later are rarely noticed in the videos and it seems to be closely related to how the western European countries view them as well. Maybe this is something to look into? Cheers, keep up the good work.
Why is Russia and Belarus excluded from the map?
Ask Putin! He is the one who is orienting Russia (and Belarus) away from Europe towards Asia. Good luck with that.
@@hape3862 right. but that doesn't answer my question.
@@user-xp8nq5mf9y I didn't make the video or the thumbnail. But I'm fine with them being excluded.
@@hape3862 We are Europeans though
@@hape3862and UK is moving towards US.
So Britain isn't Europe?
I try to visit a new part of Europe whenever possible and everytime I return home I do think Europe is indeed, awesome.
Perhaps as a collective now, with the competitive and sometimes adversarial history between European countries, the existential question is how to work together and compete collectively, instead of against each other.
Less go Europa💪
Imma just say ... the thumbnail map is dumb for excluding Belarus and Russia and Turkey considering THEY ARE (at least partially) in Europe
and paly a big part in european history and culture
Europe is Europe. It is truely beautiful in its rich history and the ways its trying to improve each and everyday! Europe is like many other continents and countries, with its trials and tribulations, mistakes and greviences. Their mistakes are no different. However, I personally have never seen a continent ravenged by war and fueds to a now a a big economic power house rivaling (or trying to) with the US, Russia, and / or China. Likewise, I have never seen a continent that was plagued by war for years to a now improving Union of many countries. A true beauty of political greatness, world wonders, landscapes, diverse peoples, and its bountiful history since the Roman Emire and the greek city states.
you also forgot to add that it is american colony
Well said!
Don't worry, your channel is great
Being comfortable and great are not the same thing.
It's easy to forget your blessings when you've grown accustomed to them. Nearly every country in the EU is a much nicer place to live than most of the world.
It is hard to see the good times when you are in it ❤ There is always room for improvement but for now…Happy Europe day everyone 🎉
Thank you.
I think your channel on problems facing. Europen is pretty balanced
The problem is remedies to those issues quite often require very uncomfortable choices that will lose votes
Europe is home
Yes!
Europe is awsome because we have hundrets of diffrent cultures. EU is great, for allmost a hundred years and no wars between european countrys
'Flip back the switch.' Brb I am going to do so in my bathroom, hope it restarts Europe.
In al seriousness, if the major challenges facing Europe will be solved in our lifetime, I do hope the Union can take its mainstay on the world stage and be a positive force for all and be a better force for Europeans themselves.
Wonderful sentiment!
Criticism is good but it needs to be balanced with positive messages too because there are nearly always negative videos about EU. Hope to see more positive videos on this channel.
Imo europe is truly inspiring with how many things humans can avhieve by cooperating. France, Germany or Italy couldnt stand alone to giants like the US or China, and countries like Malta or Estonia woldnt even be mentionable if you look at a normal political map. However, the EU is such an economic and political power because small and medium countries were willing to put asside their differences and disagreements to work together for something greater.
Why is Belarus and Russia in white on the thumbnail?
Lmao bro tried to sneak Ukraine in there
Last time I checked they were an European country.
@@soundscape26 But they don't represent European values.
contrast is perfect!
you might get a better look by desaturating the highlights ;)
some depth on the background could be also good, maybe try a vignette (?)
Thank you!
I, as a Spaniard, have always felt very European, however, there was one thing that made me change my opinion about the EU. When the politicians who carried out a coup in Catalonia fled the country, they were able to seek refuge in other countries and received protection from the EU. I believe this should not happen, as with standardized legislation among countries, judges from different countries should not be questioned between them
As a Belgian, where the Catalonian separatist Piegdemont was given legal protection: I understand that a majority of Spaniards don't want to their country to split up, but jailing politicians for their believes is not the solution. Otherwise your country isn't much better than a (Franco-) dictatorship. And extraditing Piegdemont to Spain, would have gone against our own constitution, as he is a political refugee. We have some separatist factions here in Belgium, and that's why there is sympathy for other separatist movements like in Catalonia, Scotland... (Although I'm personally not in favor of splitting up European countries).
Whether you agree or disagree with this guy's takes, he is doing some very good work on this channel. Goed gedaan, man!
