For all the efforts by Europeans to make the US look in the mirror, I think that Europeans are far less critical of their own failings than Americans. It's just that American failings are the ones that cause the most harm for other poeple's at this time.
I know that I create a lot of conflict by asking those on this site to look in the mirror, but I feel that it most be done. Europe to confront it's failings as well, and I think that as a whole there is far less honesty in the way that European publics deal with their problems than in the US.
The convergence of nationalism and socialism has caused grave problems for Europe in the past.
Two words on that.
Never again. And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
A comment I'll back up, as a person of Welsh stock, even though I don't live in Wales. ceebs also says the same thing below. Violent Welsh nationalism concerns (and has never concerned more than) a tiny minority.
And your response to that is to remind us of the Nazis and "never again"?
