Big words , but will Icelanders really go for it?
Empire of the good. While trying for years to push through surveilance laws that make the citizens transparent like glass.
There is no good way of having an empire …
“We want to join the empire of indecision. Of strongly worded letters. Of inaction.”
When is the referendum scheduled for? Is it binding?
What’s the main obstacle with Iceland, is it fishing rights like Norway?
Iceland joining the EU will be the tipping point to federalization. /s
Or maybe no empires?
He is correct. In this day and age, sovereignty is reserved only for the strong. In the world of superpowers you are either a superpower or a puppet.
Iceland is in a pretty good position by itself, since it’s not being threatened too much by major powers, but for nations like us in Eastern Europe that are in the scope of -Russia, or, more recently, nations that border a belligirent USA, like Canada or Denmark with Greelnand, it is important to be part of a big boys club.
Please, defend whatever you want to defend, but tone down the self-righteousness.
We don’t need empire. We need educated, competent and healthy societies. The rest will follow.
Some people will learn, hopefully not too late, that there’s no such thing as a good empire
empire of the good. do i need to point out the oxymoron?
Empire of the good is quite an oxymoron tbf
There’s no such thing as a good empire.
I think they need to include Greenland in a similar type of referendum. I know it’s owned by Denmark but it needs more juice behind it I think… for some reason
Did nobody see the video, he says “empire” in quotes.
Jurgen Klopp?
What is this obsession with “Empire” ?
He made very sketchy deals in Belgium. It’s all about his ego.
Ofc, napoleon, hitler, colonies, human zoos in 1950s. Right. Empire of good.
I feel like post Hitler non fascists got afraid of standing for anything.
The entire concept of having values and and believing in them or liking your own culture became sus because “that’s how you get Genocide”.
Now every non-lukewarm take is only allowed to be an opinion. Everything is relative. It’s most obvious in what happens when the subjects of women’s liberation and Islam collide in non-right wing spaces.
The caution is understandable, but now the only people with any conviction/vision on cultural issues are fascists and religious fundamentalists.
Guy took a break from fkn his cousin, to represent a “nation” of 300k people, and lecture THE WORLD of how to conduct themselves. Brave man. Some would say buffoon but lets meet at brave.
The EU urgently needs to reform institutions to morph into a democratic FEDERATION. With a sovereign EU parliament. No more unanimity votes blocked by the likes of Hungary. We have the euro. Now we need an EU military. National sovereignty of mini-states in today’s world is meaningless.
If Hungary, Slovakia or anyone else wishes to opt out, then good riddens. You will be eaten up by the evil empires. You will be food for the carnivores.
Ouais 😀
Après, pour le droit de pêche, l’Union Européenne les aiderait probablement financièrement pour que, il ait moins de dépendance à la pêche (ou pas)
Le futur nous en dira plus..
“Empire of good” – proceeds to implement mass surveilance. Ok bro.
Come join the EU. So we can use chat control to read your stuff.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a fierce defender of European unity. But these new propositions to snoop into our lifes has left me a little disillusioned
