Let's face it: The EU is the last remaining democratic global power. Russia is a dictatorship, so is China, and America is only a democracy on paper since they elected Mango Mussolini.

Here's the dark future that could very well happen if we allowed these right wing fucks to succeed with their plans:

  • Their first goal: Get a majority of European countries to vote for authoritarian, alt-right, pro Trump, anti EU governments. Russia has been working towards this for decades.
  • Actually dissolve the EU so Russia, China and America remain as the only relevant global powers.
  • Authoritarian European nations become hostile towards other nations. As hostile as America is now already.
  • National particular interests within the EU are cause for dangerous tensions again.
  • International relations become much more volatile.
  • Nations suddenly don't give a fuck about multilateral contracts anymore.
  • Some weaker, paranoid nations secretly develop nuclear weapons programs.
  • Radioactive shit is going to hit the fan sooner or later.
  • GAME OVER.

Only democratic nations working together and people who strongly oppose demagogues and fascism have a chance to prevent that from happening. The EU is a fundamental building block to ensure this for Europe.

Have we not learned from WWII and 60 million deaths? Are humans really so dumb? If that's really the case, we deserve to go extinct.

“We” didn't learn. As evidenced by this all happening the instant the last people who experienced WWII directly started to fade from the discussion. They couldn't even wait for all if them to be dead before restarting.
