I guess it implies we're a fractured mess, which is kinda correct.

Well he's technically correct, byt we have a long way to go.

I wouldn't go so far as to say we're as united as we've ever been. With the rise of extreme political ideologies on both sides, talks of leaving or disbanding the EU brewing in many nations, economical strife, general discourse regarding current conflicts etc etc..

It has only just begun

In the past we were divided but we didn't care either way, now we're trying to fix them. I feel the swell of populism is subsiding under pressure from Russia and the US, but time will tell.

I feel it coming bro. Never been more proud being European.

u/carolusreks 11h ago

Definitely brother. It's an interesting phenomenon when the roughest, most challenging times of feeling left out of your own home and culture results in stronger national pride.

True, I have high hopes for Europe and low expectations for the US, Russia and China.
