Thanks German brother :) I think our main issue in Europe is the lack of a common language. It makes it harder to build strong ties and realize how close our values are.
Vat hapened tu ze komon English I got mail abaut 20 yers ago?
Agreed, there is always this little story to remind us of our unity - at least from the perspective of the draftees/workers back in ww1, where everyone was basically forced to fight each other by the elites
Which is why I long for the day where a European federation supersedes the weak and fragmented national states we have now.
Adopting English as legal secondary language in every EU member state would maybe be a good first step.
