Being a citizen of the European Union means that many aspects of our lives are regulated by a weird entity. It feels like a huge bureaucracy is making decisions over our heads. How democratic is the EU really and does your vote actually affect anything?

"Democracy is annoying, complucated, and often pretty boring." This is why a nation needs both a minimum of education in its population,and a national spirit in its population thats inherantly active in politics. As a citizen of a democracy, you have to by nature have a desire and will to take part in politics. Large and small. And all citizens gave to. If you dont, what you have is a weak foundation for your democracy. This is why the usa is questionably democratic. Its citizens didnt feel the desire to take part in politics. Only to not have their lives impeded by rulers. So it became more oligarcic then drmocratic. And now its citizens feel they have no powrr, reducing their desire to take part in politics more. Switzerland meanwhile has the directest democracy because over its 800 year existance, taking part in your nation's existance was a core part of its identity. And it still is.
@realkrzaku
Жыл бұрын
The fact is that democracy is flawed at its core. Most people under democracy don't even understand what their vote means, let alone voting for the best options, which often doesn't exist. This means democracy is among the most flawed political systems, along with communism and socialism. Until we let only the people who know what they are talking about decide for the rest, we will have this god damn fucking shit show that we have now.

@@masterfish4343 Almost everything Kurzgesagt does takes several weeks because of their standard of quality, so saying this doesn't really help much. If you're discouraging Kurzgesagt from going into this topic because of how long it'll take, then that's a dumb argument, considering they've done videos that have taken years to complete before.

I told everyone who has a YT channel in my school that it’s a bad idea and an EXTREME risk to break Article 13. That week 5 of my friends broke Article 13 and got away with it. If we join back the EU, not only do I win the argument, but all their videos get taken down. :3

Government should be as local as possible so that it is easier for people to keep it in check. We need decentralization not centralization. Every nation should be independent. We should even divide nations into partially independent states like in the US. If the EU was only an economic union I would be okay with it but I don't want to share my governing power with 500 million people. 66 million is too much yet alone 500 million. Also, thinking that an entire continent would like to live by the same laws is as far as you can get from the truth

4:17 that bar graph. Is that a TierZoo reference? Because I’ve been following that channel for a while now and the lil’ coloured image boxes at the bottom of it kind look like the ones used on TierZoo.
