Comment on to any EU federalist, why do you believe you can make a federation out of 27 different countries with different languages and cultures?

When America was founded they intentionally choose not to designate an official language, because it was a federation of lots of people from different cultures who spoke different languages…

We had a pretty decent run all things considered.

In fact, you could make a pretty good argument that the initial diversity was one of the main strengths, and we saw the biggest issues in areas with segregation and artificial means to keep different groups divided, with racial based slavery obvious being a huge early exception.

Every American knows what CNN, WSJ and USA Today are. How many Poles know what the BBC is?

That’s a wild statement tho…

BBC is global company.

There was a 20 year gap 2005-2025, but less than a year after they came back, I can assure you most Poles today are very aware what the BBC is…
