The worst populism going on in Europe today - is by the EU itself.

All "right wing populism" there is now nowadays - is the natural consequence of the attempt to replac "Europe" with the EU and its strawman cinstructtion of alibi instiotutions and alibi parliasments and alibi commissions. One party rule. Planned economy.
Gleichschaltung of opinion, legislation, free speech.
Sounds familiar, Bleiente? Nazi-brown socialism? Stalin-red socialism? EU-blue socialism? Bejing-red socialism? Its all the same ****. Especialy us Germans should know it so much betteer than enayone else. We realyl should know it better, we had two of those within just two generations. What have we learned instead? We start building socialist desaster number three.
The Germans are a hopeless case. Impotent in their foreign political and military means, servile , nevertheless full of themselves, and their blood so saturated with lecturing others and moralising on everybody and everything that it almost qulifies as an acid.
If the ordinary German subject is not properly regulated by the state authorities once a day, well then he feels he misses something, this servile "
Ducker".
Against so much state belief and submission, all reason and all love of freedom is powerless.
This too is what made the Brits wantign to leave. A completely different understand of freedom, one that is unknown her ein German, is getting looked down to as selfishness and "Krämertum", since decades and centuries.
Ever have read John Stuart Mills, or any of the Scottish moral philosphers? In Germany, the media would practically execute them under the applaus of the net-receiving plebs. Raising claim is enough, acchieving and deserving is for stupids, everybody thinks he has a right to demand free rides.
We are all one big happy socialist collective. We even speak in typical DDR-phrasing and propaganda slogans nowadays.
Thats why I have sympathies for the Brexiteers. In the end, the brits maybe never really were full members with heart and soul in the EU and its predecessors. It violates all what the English tradition of liberalism stands for. That narcissistic idiots like Johnson, Corbyn and May smear it, does not change the acchievements of this culture's history.
