I do not feel like a European. I do not even feel much Scandinavian. I am a Swede an nothing else. Perhaps also a little bit of a world citizen - and the EU goes against the idea of being a world citizen, just as it goes against my country. So since those identities are mutually exclusive, then all I can say to the EU is bye, bye. Especially since the EU is bundled togheter with neoliberal policies, and any other economic views are forbidden by EU law. So since leftwing economic cannot coexist with the EU, is it also here an easy choice what I would prefer to flush down the toilet ;)

@DJ1573 I only have one homeland, and I will not give it away without a fight. This country should be ruled by the people living here, and not by some foreign politicians that knows nothing about this place, cares nothing about it, doesn't value its rich history and culture, and have no concern at all for its people. I dunno, but I feel it would be very arrogant by me if I were a politician and would decide the fate over another country under such circumstances and do not care one bit about consent from the people I rule over.' I do not want to treat foreigners like they were people in a newly conquered province of nazi Germany.

@yalassa1 In the modern times. You can talk with people on game chats with people from all around the world, like for example in the game World of tanks. And sure do you have more in common with many foreigners than you have with that nasty bitch in her 50s who is at your job and always complain and is being sour. It is funnier to hang around people with common interests - like tanks and world war 2 in this case. One can also realize that people around the world are not that different. People in other countries can still enjoy your jokes. And even in far distant places like India, Japan, Indonesia, Algeria and such do people also laugh at those jokes, and they also feel and think much like we do and they value their family, they experience bullies at work, and they feel love for a person of the opposite gender and so on. However do I feel more in common with Europeans than with other people? Not really. I feel I have more in common with people from USA, Iceland, Australia, and South Africa than I do with Serbs, French, Bulgarians, Greeks and Turks and Russians. And I am not opposed to European *cooperation*. I am opposed to the idea of *union*, and being one and the same country, and that all European countries must destroy everything that makes them unique to fit in into a new super-state. My sympathies with other countries mostly also lies with countries such as Iceland, Norway, UK, Switzerland and USA - which are not part of the EU. So they are more logical allies for my country Sweden than the EU. And I do not see a world government as desireable. Nor do I share the EUs racist worldview which it have displayed in commercials made with out tax payer money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKN67ImpO4k I do not look at other continents as a threat. But I am however dissapointed in other parts of the world when they don't support a country (Ukraine) that is a victim of an unprovoced foreign aggression and genocide. But instead do countries like Brazil, India, Iran and China and rather side with evil. It is also remarkable that China, India and Indonesia doesn't care about this world that we share by stop polluting the planet, as those 3 countries are responsible for something like 80% of all plastics in the world oceans. And China spits out more CO2 into the atmosphere than USA and the EU have done combined... and they do not feel any problem in that. So yea, the values of the rest of the world are very different from western values sometimes. And that is why it is important that we countries in the western world sticks togheter so we do not get bullied and taken over by evil countries like Russia or China. And so we get more leverage with India and Brazil to take care of their own enviroment and not exterminate tigers, cut down rainforests and destroy the world oceans with plastic. We need to keep our friendship with Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, and North America. We cannot do as EU leaders like Macron and throw America under the bus, and rather try to build closer ties with dicatorships like China that throws uighurs into concentration camps and have territorial conflicts with nearly all its neighbours. Have the idiots in France and Germany learned nothing from what recently happened when their two countries got overly dependent on Putins Russia and betrayed their allies USA and other European countries? If this is the kind of Europeanism that Europe stands for... then so to hell with not just Macron and Scholz.. but also the entire EU project.

@lahabitaciondelatrapado4621 Switzerland and Sweden have more in common in their view on neutrality than it got with the EU, which wants to replace our armies built for self-defence.. with a force more suitable for invasions of far away countries. Personally I am not interested in any colonial projects and killing brown people. If EU countries like France thinks that is cool, then they can pay for it themselves. Furthermore do I believe in an army of citizens. Than I do in an army of mercenaries and a small group of professionals. It is of course comfortable if you wanna let troops die in an unpopular war in Africa and the middle east that you use foreigners to fight for you. So that people don't have to see their own sons return dead in bodybags in a war to steal some oil, so that the French oil company Total can make some money - like they did when the dicator in Libya was overthrown in 2011. I rather want a politics for the people than for the elite. Of course the elite rather wants the French foreign legion, Gurkhas to fight our wars as they said in EU documents in the 1990s while UK still was an EU member. Today would they perhaps use something like the Wagner group or Blackwater mercenaries to do their dirty work. My own country has been at peace for over 200 years. So I am not very happy about having our world record in peace being destroyed by EUs ambitions.
