Our friends at Warsaw Mermaid have replied (link) to our post regarding American Colonialism in Europe (link)

They pointed out to the fact that sanctions on Russian oil open precedents for re-sellers, but either way, it generates a global crisis that in a few years, couples with the already crippled economic problems that came from the pandemic, it could create an environment where only massive companies would have advantages in the market, suffocating small companies and local producers due to things not being worth making or producing on a small scale. That way, perhaps, the American colonialism that is feared by so many people would become closer to reality since the influence of America would become much stronger and necessary than before

On the note of the EU being too powerful, as Warsaw Mermaid also pointed out, both Poland and Hungary had to take several measures to be able to rule over their own country without the EU Commission meddling in their affairs, both Hungary and Poland were threatened by the EU and still are threatened for simply refusing to let politicians from foreign countries dictate what they could or not do inside their countries. It is absurd that countries are not allowed to do things such as protect their borders or ban certain teaching practices because officials from other countries do not like it, democracy should be the will of the people being followed by the government, not the government telling the people what its will is

Although most things in America shouldn't be copied by other countries because they dont quite work. Europe still has many things to learn from America before it could ever think of true change. The first one and perhaps the hardest one, would be having stricter laws with hard punishments for criminals, especially because Europe is not dealing with the criminals it used to have, European criminals had some trace of civilization in them, many of the laws Europe has are meant to be applied to people who have some semblance of honor or self respect, but now, Europe, mostly thanks to the EU, has distributed Arabs and Africans even to its smallest villages, many of which were criminals, mercenaries or just lowlifes even in their home countries. A new breed of criminal exists now in Europe and those are not isolated cases anymore, and criminals like these only fear harsh punishments, even more so because European prisons are still infinitely better than their previous living conditions

Another thing that should be learned from Americans is gun ownership. Perhaps not gun culture, but being able to own guns. European countries have for the most part one big common characteristic, they are massively incompetent and dont care about their people anymore, perhaps Europeans having guns will not be a tool for overthrowing the government, but for doing the Government's job for them when time comes. Greece for example has very strict gun laws, self-defense is nearly illegal, especially if you use a gun, but what would happen to Greeks if Turkey invaded right now? what would happen to the French if the Africans and Arabs started terrorizing the cities?

Greece and most Western Europe have extremely strict gun control laws, to the point where having guns is nearly impossible not only due to bureaucracy but also the overall cost of it, this is also something pushed by the EU with the "European Firearms Directive", of which only the Czech Republic dared defy and at the time was also threatened

Most Greeks can't even have shotguns with capacity of over two shells, meanwhile illegal immigrants and criminals are caught with firearms on a regular basis

But in general, Europe needs deep reform. Right wingers in particular must stop discussing what leftist politicians or personalities said and start focusing on what the right can or should start doing to change the current situation, because as we have seen for the past 7 years or so, only complaining about things does very little
