I once led the EMEA part of a global plan for a US corporation, I had a very difficult time with the US "leaders" who could not understand why we used over 20 different keyboard layouts and why we didn't use the standard US layout.
Indeed - political and cultural fragmentation has been a key feature of European civilisation where as other great civilisations tended to be more unified. It also inevitably ends up in some sort of "great power conflict" every 100 years or so. On the other hand political disunity has probably created space for human freedom and progress in that time as well.
The only way you can do it is something like the Austro-Hungarian or Ottoman empire where a small disconnected ethnocracy rules the other populations by force.
It's also why I hate the term "white people" - what the fuck is white? A Frenchman and an Englishman are both "white" but we have nothing in common. An Italian and a Frenchman are both white but likewise have nothing in common. Pushing the term "white" on to people seems like a project of globohomo to me. To break down peoples identities and group them into some deracinated pool of watered down cultureless dog shit.
You know I remember seeing documents all the way back in 2005 where the EU was planning to abolish all the national borders and then impose these new regions on Europe like the Swiss cantons only with less rights and the South of England and northern France were both supposed to be part of the same region - like what on earth are you guys smoking? Our countries are literally nothing alike. We speak different languages. In England we play cricket, drink warm beer, drive on the left and don't eat frogs legs. The french even mock us for eating roast beef because that is apparently strange.
It has many features of the USSR - though when the USSR was founded Stalin and his key lieutenants ruled with a rod of iron regardless of what the soviet constitution said and as soviet leaders fell back more on legal principles than naked force the whole thing dissolved. The EU seems to be trying to become soviet but in reverse. It's also run by out and out incompetents and careerists.
Ursula Von Der Leyen for example had the sole political achievement of running the German defence department into the ground and was shuffled off to the EU by Merkel because politically she needed to be moved where she couldn't do any damage. Christine LaGarde who runs the ECB is a convicted criminal and was still promoted to run the EU central bank and has absolutely no idea what she is doing. The people who run Germany Scholtz and some other key wanker in his coalition are total amateurs. Probably the smartest of the mainstream European leaders and the entire G7 actually is probably Macron - he probably just above mid wit grade but he is a former Rothschilds banker, is married to a woman easily old enough to be his mother and he is frankly just a weirdo. You have people like Rutte in the Netherlands and whoever the next British PM is who are just outright WEF shills - even worse thanks to Boris the political class have ruined a post war tradition of British PM's counselling restraint and keeping their options open diplomatically in private - at this point I'm not sure if there is any way back with Putin for Europe.
It's just a dysfunctional mess.
You know for almost a decade the endless crisis in Greece was probably hyped deliberately by the media and the EU even though comparably Greece was inconsequential but the endless focus took the heat off of Italy which has a debt to GDP of 150% currently and has serious problems. Italy is the EU's 3rd largest economy and northern Italy is one of Europes key industrial hubs. When it goes under which it probably will the consequences will be biblical.
The EU is a preview of what the one world order would look like... It isnt a pretty picture.

I think if Killary would have won 2016 the United States would be apart of the EU by now... SCARY
