Here's why European unity isn't such a bad idea

Classic retort.

Yeah, you know, truth may come over as being classical. Or do you believe in the big EU conspiracy, run by something like Bloofeld?

Nationalism is chimp at it's best. You may ask yourself why your subscribing to it.

Straw men and ad hominems. No truth here. As per usual.

Well, they are kinda hinting at the EU referendum in the article.

I was being sarcastic. One of the main notions for the people who seem to argue for remain is they muddy the waters by saying Europe should be united and that it's a good thing. I think you'd find it hard to find anyone who doesn't agree with this, and voting to leave doesn't necessarily mean you disagree with the sentiment. What people seem to want to do is equate this wishy washy notion of 'unity' with what the European Union actually is currently, and insinuate that voting to leave would necessarily be to the detriment of this vague idea of such unity.

You guys had better remember that 'Murrica is coming apart at the seams and we may not be there for you the next time the Russkis get ornery.

Would be such a shame to not get dragged into more of your wars wouldn't it.

Well, if the shoe fits. I was talking about nationalism and was open to the possibility of you subscribing to it. Point stands. I won't look any kinder on nationalism just because you consider it an ad hominem. It is the chimp way. Maybe a little bit of Gorilla breast punding involved also. It's primitive, plain and simple. And I certainly hope, chimps and Gorillas don't consider that an ad hominem. I certainly don't want to insult them.

Well, you know, I do feel superior compared to an antisemite and conspiracy nut.

In that case you should that glad that I can make you feel so special.  If you can't be friendly with someone who makes you feel superior how can so many countries with vastly different histories every become united?

Made up for it with the ones since though eh?
