The EU and the Illusion of Democracy, by Hans Vogel - The Unz Review

The more the screws of repression are being tightened, the louder the EuSSR eurocrats and the corrupt legacy media, with the support of liberal and social-democratic “elites,” are asserting they are defending “democracy” and “democratic values.” I am afraid most of those eurocrats sincerely believe they are at the helm of a democratic system and that their decisions are politically and morally impeccable.

What they fail to grasp is that the EU is like a moribund giant. Like Gulliver tied to the ground by the Lilliputians, the EU, being the remnant of what once was a formidable continent without which modern civilization would be unthinkable, has been immobilized by the fateful decisions of its rulers. Countless modern-day Lilliputians, most of them hailing from Africa and the Middle East, are feasting on what is not yet a corpse. At the same time, they are erecting windmills and solar farms on the giant’s belly and legs. They have also raided his bookshelves but they simply cannot decipher what is in the books.

This half-dead giant is called “democracy” by all eurocrats and their cronies and minions. These people are so far removed from reality that now they want to start a war against Russia. Well, this will only accelerate the EU’s final demise, which seems inevitable anyhow.
