Man, I am not living in EU anymore so not personally affected by its policies, just mentioning that world and people are more complex than you would like it to be, not 'sowing' anything. Just relaying what I heard over and over in eastern part of EU, across multiple states, on personal but also institutional/government level.
We all saw how quickly Brexit went, and neither UK nor Europe is better afterwards, you just need few skilled populists push the right levers at right time and its done, for good. Why feed them even more without even listening to their concerns?
I am all for EU despite its dysfunctions and consider it overall a good institution in Europe, but ignoring problems and having tunnel vision only on efforts that you like ain't smartest approach, things will backfire. People and societies we form are complex in various ways, lets respect that a bit if we want some long term consensus and not constant infighting and ignored tensions which benefits just our enemies, like current one in the east.
