  1. No, it's not. NATO and democratic nation states are, when the people were still in charge becasue of democracy rather than having the unelected of the EU decide, they didn't war and they didn't want tariffs and import duties.

  2. Indeed, the EU is in the process of ending democracy.

  3.  @aphextwin5712  No, you're actually describing the EEC. Democratically elected governments and parliaments have no veto anymore on laws binding their population. The EU-parlement is not a legislative body and not democratically elected by all the people it decides over, taking democratic out of the equasion. The EU's structure has created, on purpose it seems, a democratic void in which basically corporations write the rules and the EC plays dictator forcing an ideological agenda on the member states.

  4. I'm sorry but I hate these kinds of videos. Young nitwits just throwing in the word 'democracy' while they have no clue what it is, how important it is and how they just trade it off for ease and fun. -Border checks were a pain but now citizens get checked more thorougly and have their privacy invaded more day in day out than at any border check in the 70's or 80's, and in the EEC of the 90's you could already forget your passport and still hitchhike throuhg all Western Europe. But thanks to free movement too, it's now too unsafe to hitchhike and the hugely increased unsafety is an excuse for governments checking you out everyday like you were at a border crossing. - Well before the EU students could also study at a foreign university. They did, but for specific and better reasons than it just being cheaper. It also had to be the good students because they had to master a foreign language at academic level. They pay a few thousand, then have an education in English at the expense of foreign taxpayers and their education level, and then move out of that country again. - This bland international monoculture of the climate destroying flying class is not only terribly boring, it's also becoming a plague in big cities all over Europe, destroying diversity. - The free movement of labour has millions of lower educated European workers from the poor member states being exploited in rich countries with no job security and therefore shelter security, living in baracks, far away from family and friends, often being a nuisance and I don't blame them because drinking is what 'displaced' men in groups in their little free time do. It also leads to welfare exploitation and fraud, undermining the public support for it.
