Professors of European Studies stop talking about the like it's the equivalent of "eating your veggies" challenge.

Should we maybe ask Ukrainians or Georgian youngsters in Tbilisi to comment on your struggle?

<- @Veza85UE , I like your rage :-)

I am saying this not the first time: Let us find (or create!) something for yours and mine cooperation.

I am not completely happy with Jules Eisenchteter's article. I found @tomas_weiss .

Let us do something together.

Have a look at trojkatretiho.cz . For example, in my latest post, there are some proposal what we should do about the Confusion of languages ​​- #BabelEU : trojkatretiho.cz/viewtopic.php .

Oh, that's more *sigh* disappointed-but-not-surprised weary eye-rolling rather than rage. 😄
I'm not surprised that the article isn't all that great for someone living there. To an outsider like me it seemed to fill a knowledge gap and I still think the learning curve for politicians as the EU gets ever more important for our lives is a valid point. And it's applicable to all EU countries, not just the Czechs.

<- As I am trying to learn about the Union (and express myself) I am finding a strange discrepancy between

first

the number of people and institutions and projects, and the volume of matterials produced and

second

the general knowledge of the Union...

@abolitionniste While I don't doubt that the majority of the people who produce the content are well-intentioned and others maybe just shielded from too much contact with normie world, I think for our national governments keeping Europeans in the dark about how the EU actually works (and the ways in which it doesn't) is a feature, not a bug.

I have some doubts about this bit (eh, I wouldn't say PiS or Slovenia under Jansa sent a higher calibre of politician to EU institutions, though it's true that in some countries the good ones took refuge in the EU because their country was too corrupt/the governing party too crazy, etc).
But the civic education being in the hands of our national governments is an important point.

@Veza85UE , I think 'Dave Keating'... is a good source. See also @DaveKeating .

I think if/when you take the Union and liken it to a confederation/federation, it's fairly easy to make a simple description of how things work. And I think such descriptions should be made. And that we should make such a description. You and I and other teammates.

I also quite understand the underlying causes and reasons why it's being obfuscated.

Existují blogeři, tiktockeři, instagrammeři, twitcheři, youtubeři atd., kteří již o EU (a vlastní parlamentní platformě together.eu) hojně mluví. Podle toho, co jsem viděl, přitahují hlavně lidi, kteří se o EU už zajímají.
Mým řešením je vytvořit popkulturu o EU, jako je francouzský pořad Parlament, který je ve Španělsku velmi populární. Nedělám si legraci, lidé, kteří se tomu nevěnují, by se z televizního pořadu o EU hodně dozvěděli.

@abolitionniste Takže kdyby někdo věděl o nějakém producentovi / o tom, jak získat finanční prostředky, jsem k dispozici pro psaní scénáře. 😉
