Tbh there should be a network of maglev trains going through Europe, kinda similar to what this think tank has in mind. Will probably not happen in the next 200 years but that would really kill most flying inside Europe. You could go from Brussels to Paris in under an hour. Hell, you could do a daytrip from Paris to Barcelona by train if you wanted to. Berlin to Paris would be like 2-3 hours. Even Berlin to Rome could be done in like 4 hours. You could live in Warsaw or Prague and commute to Berlin for work. You wouldn’t have to fly from London to Frankfurt or Vienna to Belgrade.

It’s ridiculously expensive so I guess we would never ever do it but I genuinely believe that if we would focus on that and introducing English as the official administration language that everyone learns from kindergarten on we’d probably be the most attractive place in the world for high skilled people to move to. It’s a shame we focus on going full nazi and blaming all our problems on refugees instead of having a vision for the future.

That’s a 12 year old paywalled map. I don’t see any evidence for their claim and I recommend reading this carefully: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Germany

Surely you have a lot of data to back this claim up

Thank you! Appreciate that

Yeah I never really thought this specific hypocrisy through because it never occurred to me personally that it would be okay to ever bomb civilians, but I think you’re right. It’s a horrifying thing to think about really, but that is the level of warmongering we have reached. I actually really don’t see how it’s any better. European civilians wishing death to Russian civilians for wishing death to Ukrainian civilians. We Europeans will be able to justify why it’s okay when we do it and bad when others do it, as always. But no matter the explanation the result is the same, someone wishes people dead.

Fair enough! I was confidently incorrect, thanks for correcting this.

I think Russia is an imperialist monster and as such a threat to Europe, but most some of Europe illegally invaded Iraq & Lybia and they deliver weapons and are mostly pro-Israel. So we’re not better we’re just not attacking our direct neighbors anymore.

So the top-level comment does have a point but only because we’re hypocrites

You seem to be Canadian (?) so you probably don’t know what draconian measures we take to shut down every possibility to legally request asylum in the EU which is a basic human right in our constitution.

People are getting raped and abused in North Africa, Italy, Greece, Turkey, you think it’s just Belarus? We let people drown in the Mediterranean Sea because we don’t give a fuck, these people are sub-human to the average European. Maybe also to you, but don’t call me a troll or insult me in any other way just because I don’t let you justify us treating refugees like shit just because the other guys do the dirty work for us.

Again, if you would care about the abused people you’d be happy to help them, instead you blame them for being victimized. I don’t know how people like you can sleep at night.

The Zionists are literal Nazis

Nah they’re not really a good corporation they use their giant bargaining power to lowball small suppliers as much as they possibly can, like so much that they might not be earning any money at all for their work.

Czech Streets are beautiful

I never said that. And I literally said it’s horrible. I said it’s Europe‘s fault that human beings can be weaponized because we’re too racist to let them in. If we wouldn’t want them to be beaten and raped we could protect them. We just don’t want to.

Germany is doing fine. They are suffering massively from a propaganda campaign that paints migrants & refugees to be the ultimate scapegoat for everything that’s going wrong in their country, but that’s about it.

Poland isn’t exactly a beacon of humanity, they have a massive problem with racism, hatred of Jews and Muslims specifically, and with anti-LBTQ violence. The pushbacks no matter if in Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, they are brutal and can be deadly.

It’s an absolute shame for European society that other human beings can be weaponized due to us being so incredibly racist.

This is horrible, and all of this only works because we’re so racist in Europe that you can use poor people fleeing from war & destruction as a weapon.

It’s literally called “brain drain” idk what’s there to discuss. Smart people leaving the country because of politics, yeah that’s brain drain.

I learned from my friends "Von Regen in die Traufe“, you flee from Trump to get that semi-bald Temu copy of him in Germany. Things look dark for us in Europe everywhere.

Super cringe to say cringe unironically in 2025. Clearly, OP must be either silent generation or gen X because they called them based. Gen Z know not to say cringe anymore. I would like to say shut the fuck but that is a waste of energy as OP is probably one of the silent generation, which I conclude based on the fact that OP refuses to elaborate on this post, which is a clear indicator that OP is silent.

Lmao, true rockstar engineer

Um look I‘m completely against both Russian and American imperialism, but they did support Assad in Syria: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_intervention_in_the_Syrian_civil_war

Iirc they sent their revolutionary guards there to fight. And Hezbollah was deeply involved in defending the Assad regime. With the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah they do have proxy armies in the Middle East.

Iran is a lovely country and its horrible what western imperialism has done to it, but their regime is as shitty as it gets. If Palestine were suddenly freed from the Zionists and they’d be under the influence of Iran instead it would be the same shit all over again, saying this just to make a point.

Nah I mean I have some friends and they told me a camel has like 50 different names depending on how old it is and what it’s doing right now, e.g. a female camel who gave birth three months ago or a sitting camel or a camel that drinks an unusual amount of water (I’m making up stuff rn) would have their own names. Or here’s a list of date cultivars, there are like tens of names for the different types of dates it wild: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_cultivars

Otherwise I was honestly just kidding. It’s an interesting question but realistically it’s gonna be English and imo kids should learn English from kindergarten on and people would be bilingual like in India, or Kurds, Amazigh, Sudanese people who are native speakers in Arabic and their own local language. We could have all administration EU wide be bilingual too and that would honestly make it so much easier for everyone to move around and also for migrants that we desperately need to come here.

But with fascism being cool again I‘m afraid we’re moving far away from what I have in mind.
