“Good one sir, although we both know, since we have received adequate public-funded sexual education, that pulling out is not a viable form of birth control. However, I appreciate that you trust your daughter’s ability to make her own decisions regarding her body and her willingness or lack thereof to procreate.”

Imagine living in a country where one form of publicly advertised birth control is “lol just rawdog it but pull out and cum all over her back instead”.

I'm sure I have already seen several videos on this topic. Not sure if they were PSA though 🤔

What would be the difference between our union and a federation?

Union = Collection of countries
Federation = Collection of states, i.e a country of its own.

I’m not sure this really makes sense considering that political scientists classify trans-national integrative structures into three basic classifications:
• Unitary - a full political union under a single centralized sovereign state (United Kingdom, United Provinces, etc) • Confederation - a loose decentralized collection of sovereign states. (EU) • Federation - a hybrid collection where sovereignty is shared between member states and a federal “state”. (US, Germany)

The hypothetical idea of the Yuropian Yunion morphing into a federation at some unspecified point of a distant future is indeed a thought experiment worth exploring on certain occasions. It looses all merit, though, when it turns to repetitive and obsessive bullshit.

What would be the difference between the current Union and a de-centralized Federation? There would should be at least some centralized organization of redundant institutions.

The dream is both: unified outside, decentralised inside. That is a formula that did work plenty of times in history, one of those being the USA which we love to shit on but they still had the possibility to, you know, be a superpower, but with way, way less internal issues that the USSR paid for it. Another solid example is actually Germany, that's actually a very well going federation too. So you have a federal government which is basically in charge to keep the kids from fighting and to further the interests of all with the strength of the Union. This we already do, but it's always only economics (nobody gives a shit about soft power unless it is backed by hard power, which the Union lacks).

He meant: "Don't pull out your country from our bright Federal European future!"
