Proved my point buddy awesome job.

Me: There's no alternative viable in a war torn country with sectarian infighting.

You: He's passionate not because he's relatives are dead but because he's either hiding an alternative from us or he doesn't have it.

Guess we have to support AlQaeda

It's made of fascist countries but it's not fascist. Sure genius logic there. How much fascism is good enough for you 20%,30%,40%?

Oh but wait there's more.

There's more:

This Giandomenico Majone whose expertise was in regulatory governance within the European Union.

He States in his report titled Deficit democratico, istituzioni non-maggioritarie ed il paradosso dell'integrazione europea:

Only democratic countries can become members of the European Union, but the Union itself suffers from a "democratic deficit". Thus, the European Parliament is directly elected, but lacks the basic powers of national parliaments. By contrast, key institutions like the European Commission, the Court of Justice and the European Central Bank, are non-majoritarian. The paper shows that the paradox of a union of states which requires its members to be democratic but is not itself fully democratic, is more apparent than real. It also argues that, absent an European "demos", an European super-state would be unable to produce all the public goods, especially income redistribution and generalised social services, which people expect of a modern welfare state. The real paradox of the European Union is not the contrast between its own democratic deficit and the democratic requirements for membership. Rather, the paradox is that the essentially non-majoritarian nature of the integration process has significantly improved the quality of democracy at the national level, for example by prohibiting any form of discrimination, particularly on the basis of national origin, or gender. Such prohibitions are directly effective and hence can be invoked by the citizens even against their own governments.

So no, The EU is not really a democratic entity,far from it, to the point that there's some institutions he defines as Non majority institutions that as European citizens we can't even vote for, they're just appointed.

I for once remember when Wolfgang Schäuble, the former German finance minister said ‘Elections cannot be allowed to change economic policy’

So democratic.

You clearly don't know any of this and yet you heard the words European and democracy paired with each other your whole life so you take it at face value.

The more we dive in this conversation the more surface level your knowledge seems and then you throw a hissy fit over 5 dumb questions over semantics.

No acknowledgement of fault, sources, life experience.

Not one time did you take a step back and think maybe this new information presented to me is relevant i should check it out.

Your premise was bullshit, your questions are bullshit, your arguments were bullshit. And yet

Errare è umano, perseverare è diabolico. To err is human, to persevere is diabolical.
