And it seems rather happy about what it has become

There are people happy about what it is becoming*

The EU is not a finished project :)

There are a lot of in demand jobs, from nurse to developer if you don't mind working in those specific fields you can skip a lot of those steps.

I agree, we need a new name

100%. We should persuade Canada to join Eurovision. They have some great artists and both English and French are easier to get votes with lol.

Well they wanted to leave, and maybe the rest of the commonwealth and the EU want something different.

you're accusing me of defending genocide?

Not all forms of genocide, this particular one. I also said i don't think you're doing it intentional. I appreciate you're trying to bring nuance, i think it's important we keep seeing good things in between the bad things. But the danger of only writing on the not so bad parts, we make it easier for the people who are defending the bad things (Russian trolls in this case) to drop their narrative. My post was meant more as a warning than as an accusation. Also because it can be hard to see in what ways something can be interpreted while you yourself know exactly what you mean by it. But i'll say again, despite i think your comment (not you as a person) defended genocide or could be seen as such, i really think it is a good thing your not putting everyone is the same box.

There are many people caught in the middle suffering - do not let them suffer just because they are part of a system that is failing them.

If we loose sight of that, we will stop caring for their fates and that likely will only increase their suffering.

Source?

To give you one example, there where a few million protesting against all that happening. Not sure if that falls under national pride, but it sure is societal pride.

To be honest I had never heard of Bob Vylan before, so the people screaming they should be banned (so they dont become known?) reached the opposite effect, at least for me personally.

Well at least it has New Zealand

You don't even need rings, Barcalona converted regular blocks into what they call superblocks. Imagine the lines of tic-tac-toe (the inside lines of a 3x3 table) being converted to wide footpaths and bike lanes basically creating miniature 'autoluwe zones'. Not necessarily by prohibiting cars entirely but making the those streets impractical for through traffic.
