I think you are a bit confused about the kind of direct influence EU has over anything that goes on there (hint: it's pretty much non existent).
A lot of examples reaching back as far as the french revolution, but also recent 'arab spring' have shown that such movements are prone to be taken over by extremists. If it was a popular movement to begin with, then it is only the non-extremist masses who can prevent this. Direct intervention from outside forces seems to rarely do anything good. Rather it plays into the extremists hands. |

I tend to think maintaining your cultural way of life is fine to an extent, unless and until you demand that your countrymen work to maintain the economy you live in, fight in your defense, fund your healthcare system, while you do nothing of the sort, with your contribution being of some vague cultural value and nothing else, and there's a million of you. It's like Japan and its aging crisis, except these are young men perfectly capable of work and war. Utterly unsustainable. |

The Indian sanitary pad revolutionary
Nice story here. I like this quote from him: "Luckily I'm not educated," he tells students. "If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future."

This is what the Internet actually looks like: The undersea cables wiring the Earth
Nice pics there. I didn't know we had so many under water cables. I though we had 2-3 linking major land masses.
