‘Attachment to Europe’ appears maximum in countries neighbouring Russia
LOL true. But you can hardly blame Eastern Europeans. It is also the area with the most support for a united EU army.
or to England
Also countries that received big financial benefits and saw great economic improvements.
Came here to say this, lowest attachment in countries that pay in the most, highest attachment in countries that receive the most.
It’s not perfect, some German areas around the Rhine seem to have a high attachment, as well as Luxemburg, but there is an undeniable pattern.
Not really, Germany is a much larger net contributor than France, yet European identification is a bit stronger. Also Bulgaria vs Romania etc. The correlation you are proclaiming is actually not that strong.
So European Union countries specifically?
The little text on the image mentions “the survey was only held in EU countries”, the big text on the image doesn’t care.
Probably the EU fash government seeing how far they’ve come in their promoting of the artificial Euronation
Funny how nationalists, can’t possibly imagine that there could be something other than national entities and communities, as if the Westphalian paradigm would be really so total as it pretends to be.
There is no “Euronation”, there doesn’t need to be to have a common European Union, with a common civil society, legal and judicial institutions and common law, to do the things the member states can’t do on their own. Of course Russia and the US hate that because they’d rather prefer those things being decided in DC or Moscow instead, without the influence from anyone from all these European countries.
LOL
Of course ther can be something other, we have that monstrosity right now.There are no bigger bootlickers to DC that these sell out EU traitors.
They bend over and let the US terrorists blow up our ges supply so they can benefit, sanction ourselves and thank them for the tariffs.
And support these scumbag nazis in their unprovoked attack on Iran.
And we suckers now also have to buy more US war crap.It’s the Eurorats who have destroyed European independence.
We are nothing but their pawns to be used as proxies against Russia.You keep imagining this EU farce makes us somehow strong while we’re rapidly being destroyed and bankrupted.
It is probably a waste to ask you, how it is that the US is driving the same anti-EU propaganda that Russia is and supporting even the identical parties for that. It makes zero sense if the EU is “the biggest bootlicker to DC”.
Member states have shifted substantial arms procurement away from the US, contrary to your claim too.
Given the delusional stuff you are saying about gas and your opposition to the sanctions against the Russian regime, at least it gets clear where you are coming from. If you prefer being ruled by DC or Moscow, after destroying Brussels.
It’s clearly you who is delusional if you don’t see these EU traitors are nothing but sell-outs destroying Europe for the US regime.
Maybe you were sleeping when the US terrorists blew up Nordstream and denied us cheap gas from Russia.
What did our EU ‘leaders’ do? Nothing.
On the contrary, they decide to buy 8x more expensive fracking gas from them.
And you can keep sticking your head in the sand and not see how that is destroying our competitivity and many companies close, fire workers and/or move.
And then the US regime start bombing Iranian schoolgirls unprovoked causing even more crisis for us.
And what is the reaction from our bootlickers? Sactions on the aggressor? No, they sanction Iran for defending themselves.
What did that embarrassing lapdog VDL say about this clear violation of international law? “Europe must accept the world as it is”.
And worse, many EU countries even send ships in support.
Same as they keep supporting the genocide state despite their cheap empty words.
I bet you buy them too.Member states have shifted substantial arms procurement away from the US, contrary to your claim too.
You offer zero sources for your faulty claims.
Again simply suckered by lying politician’s words and ‘intentions’.So not so long ago, while we’re already being bankrupted and these EU bastards were already stealing our pensions and social welfare money to throw in the bottomless corrupt pit that is Ukraine, the orange clown said we should pay even more for their wars. We already more than tripled imports. Europe now accounts for 33% of global arms imports.
Paying even more while we’re already in shit was a bit too much to sell to the EU population.
Guess what happened then?
Trump does his little act as if EU is no longer friendly, some meaningless threats pulling out of NATO, posturing and talk about Greenland and suddenly the EU lapdogs now have an excuse to say we need to be ‘independent’ and buy more weapons.
Hey look, exactly what Trump wanted in the first place.
58% of all major weapons imported into Europe we buy from that warmongering country. 217% increase from 2024 to 2025.
That’s really “moving away from the US” right?
Thank god the media is pushing the important achievements of independence like making our own Office software. That will show em!Facts are the US regime is out of stock with all their illegal wars and now has effectively outsourced a big part of the anti-Russia effort and bill to us so they can concentrate on bombing brown kids in the middle-east or further antagonize China.
There are long term agreements and contracts making sure we still buy more US crap.
And guess what will happen in 2 years when Trump is gone?
Just like that we will be best friends again, and the temporary EU independent show can end. Of course we will have spent all those billions by then and we can use these arms to support their endless imperialist wars like we always have done.
Like good vassals.But you can’t even look ahead that far and have no grasp of geopolitics.
Keep buying the independent strong EU nonsense talk, and don’t look at the devastating consequences for the population while living in your fantasy world. We’re definitely not ruled by DC!Wow, you are really into the full Russian narrative. Never mind that this mythical cheap resources from a regime that is openly waging a hybrid war against the rest of Europe, did not help Hungary at all in getting energy prices down, let alone keep inflation in check. Its way worse than in Poland which has done everything it could to get away from that “cheap energy”. Those not falling for Russian propaganda are doubling down on the transition to renewable energies and the necessary infrastructure modifications needed to support it. The shift in the last 5 years has been very substantial and is already paying off during the price shock caused by the US regimes war against the Iranian regime.
But yeah both, the US and Russian regime support the identical parties in the EU, which are reliably acting against the national interests of their own countries and for the interest of their sponsors. Surprise, surprise.
The EU is massively investing in strategic autonomy, which of course cannot be achieved over night but there are very meaningful programs going on right now to get there. All of them are wildly opposed by people supporting your stance. Those programs also will not disappear when Trump is gone. Galileo is there to stay, so will be Iris2, European arms programs, improved coordination etc. Unless of course those parties sponsored by Russia manage to convince the majority of the voters. In that case those projects might be killed and we will enter the age of true national sovereignty … for sure.
countries that depend on the EU for money have a higher attachment.
I’m not surprised.
No. France vs Germany, Romania vs Bulgaria, Crotia vs Austria …
Something about this comparison stinks. I don’t know what it is, but it’s statistics with an agenda. Something is implied and I don’t like it.
Indeed. There’s a bunch of downvoted comments at the bottom that explain it and get downvoted because of what you described.
That’s not Europeans, only EU.
You simply must admire Switzerland’s commitment to neutrality.
*money
I would’ve definitely guessed Parisians were like New Yorkers who looked down on all the hicks living in the countryside.
Yes, they do, but in their mind Paris IS France, so yeah.
I suspect the Aquitaine region is skewed by containing both the French Basque country and the Béarn. The rest of it is pretty lacking in terms of regional identity - I would say identity is either even more local than regional or a somewhat flat, national one around here.
The answer is “white racism” and/or “global white hegemony.” Is what European’s are most attached to.
So edgy, so revolutionary, so brave. Please teach me how to be cool like you
Bringing up the global issue of anti-black white hegemonic racism is edgy? That’s a strange way to feel about a pervasive and damaging thing. Are you a white person? White people often hold a vested interest in maintaining the hierarchy of the white racist project, and often seek to minimize the severity of it or outright deny the existence of it despite the overwhelming evidence that white Europeans uphold racism, a thing they also invented.
You realize the data includes the opinion of non-whites too right?
And Europeans invented racism? Lol, that vile exists everywhere, and long before there was a European civilization.
Racism was invented by Gomes Eanes De Zurara of Portugal to justify the brutal actions of Prince Henry of Portugal in his book _the chronicling of the Discovery and Conquering of Guinea _ the point of it was to create sweeping justification for the subjugation of people and created a hierarchy putting white people at the top. It’s possibly the only true European invention. Race is uniquely European and a problem we all have to face.
White people cannot experience racism. They can only maintain or stand against it. The struggle of whites at the hands of a white aggressor is a struggle within whiteness that does not constitute the system of race.
White people cannot experience racism.
That is racism though.
It provably is not racism. Racism is a hierarchical system, or caste based system that puts phenotypically white people at the top and all others below them. White people may struggle due to the circumstances of the racist project but they do not and cannot by definition experience racism.
You’re confusing things there, buddy. You say racism but you describe white supremacy.
white supremacy, beliefs and ideas purporting natural superiority of the lighter-skinned, or “white,” human races over other racial groups. (www.britannica.com/topic/white-supremacy)
Saying white people are not able to experience racism is racism, also saying all white people inherently desire white supremacy is racism:
racism, the belief that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral features; and that some races are innately superior to others. (www.britannica.com/topic/racism)
What a stupid propaganda piece
I’m guessing this makes Europe actually quite weak. Not only are these countries small individually, but the lack of a Europe-centric identity means the EU can be fractured easily with the right propaganda and political manipulation. This makes it easy for the US or China to isolate an individual country or region of Europe and take it for itself militarily.
Lmao, like strong nationalism isn’t being used to drive division
@[email protected], if you’re gonna downvote me, at least explain how I’m wrong.
Our identities is more important than power.
Sure we need some power to protect them but it’s pointless to gain power by throwing them away.
I wouldn’t have that expectation if I were you. Based on how both our comments got downvoted I suspect the beautiful Lemmings on here still live with a “no! I don’t accept, we’re better than this”
Yet once you go to those (especially orange) areas and you see how flamingly openly full racist and white nationalist those people have become in the last 10 20 years, it becomes harder to think of a culturally aligned Europe.
People forget this post WWII near 90 year on continuous peace time was extraordinarily exceptional and not how Europe typically fares through a century.
Yes the non racist viewpoint is that minorities should be
assimilatedaligned to a European culturr.Where European means something Germanic with perhaps a splash of French. That will show white nationalism.
Oof, thats gotta hurt for the UK, now that they’re part of Antarctica.
So, not Europe, but specifically The European Union.
I’m surprised that Sicilians are more connected to Country than region.
Whatever differences they may have, at least Europeans can rally around their true common interest: not being Americans. 🇪🇺 🥰
What the FUCK is a kilometer?!?!
