I honestly feel like he’s just being objective and keeping things real. 😉
Yeah, it’s definitely frustrating... I’m pretty sure they’ll end up removing it eventually.
I just want to touch on one specific point—without getting bogged into the core arguments, since I could probably find valid points for both sides if I really tried—specifically this whole idea of "The Netherlands-style equality for everyone." Give me a break. Seriously, let’s take a quick look at history and remember who those people actually are: global conquerors and colonial butchers. It’s honestly stomach-turning. And now they’re trying to sell us this smoke and mirrors, acting like we should all just join this "big happy EU family," when in reality, they just want us under their wing to help them compete with even bigger players like the British or the French. It’s pure self-interest. It used to be done through wars and genocide; nowadays, it’s done through alliances and economic leverage, all while hiding behind the guise of "mutual benefit" and "shared prosperity." But when you boil it all down, we’re right back to the same old dynamic: being servants to a foreign owner in our own country. It’s revolting. Of course, we have to be the ones to fix this and minimize that dependency ourselves. We can't sit around expecting others to do our work for us—which, more often than not, ends up costing us dearly, partly due to our own mindset.
As for patriotism... unfortunately, it’s not exactly a popular topic among the younger crowd lately. I constantly hear people saying it’s totally "outdated" or "uncool," arguing that the "modern" way to live is to believe we're all identical regardless of where we come from. For them, it's just whatever, no big deal. To me, that is completely contrary to everything I believe in.
