One just has to follow the current eco-fascist and pro-surveillance b.s. in the EU to their logical conclusion, and the end goal is a new soviet union. The politicians will become the new nobility, and the population the serfs labouring under 100% taxes. Meanwhile the new nobility travel with private jets, eat luxury dinners and enjoy luxury prostitutes. > And is busy removing all the checks and balances. True, that's why chat control is pushed so hard. That way the politicians will have total control over everyones lives, and given the 1000s of laws in the EU, any single EU citizen will be able to be convicted of something. > Did you know that no member of the EU bureaucracy can either be sacked lose > their pension or be prosecuted? Yep. Add to that, that they get a huge part of their salary tax free. I wouldn't be surprised if, after only one term, they get pension for life. > They are literally above the law. True. The sad part about all of this is that what will happen is that the EU nobility will push too hard. This will lead to the extreme left getting power in some countries, the extreme right in some others countries, and then we'll have ourselves some nice low-intensive civil wars. If russia has not been stopped by then, they will use that moment of weakness to restore the soviet borders, perhaps leaving poland out of it due to fear of their military. But the baltics, ukraine, moldavia can all say "bye, bye". At the moment europe is a dying continent. Maybe a black swan (or rather a white knight!) will appear. We'll see!
