> It's not realism to believe the EU can't exist within or facilitate your idealised frame of reference (assuming it makes sense and is something people should want), it's just negativity.

As a citizen of the EU, I am arguing for the debureaucratization of institutions, for capital unlocking in proper ventures, nuclear energy, and the appropriate handling of countries from which human capital is departing faster than some war-torn ones. Frankly, I don't give a damn that some people might perceive this as 'negativity' on a forum when I have (hopefully) an entire life to live under this construct.

> Quite frankly nationalistic resurgence is the #1 indicator for "euro realism", so this is a very reasonable stance to take.

Quite frankly, if you're going to shove me, against evidence, in the nationalist insurgence "euro realism" and then claim it as a reasonable stance to take. I'm not sure where that leaves me in this debate. Argue with your constructed image of me all you want.
