Boy do I have news about the founding values of the European Union.
I mean, it did start out during the Cold War. The other values are given more emphasis but that's still there.
Yea, but this was back in the times when the left was considered anti-west. Left nowadays just means socialistic policies and is where most of the EU stands. Though far-left is still pretty taboo since it's equating to communism, far right is lately considered more neo-Nazism rather than unregulated capitalism (though to be fair both are still considered far-right depending on who you ask).
Founding ideals get pretty obsolete and often don't reflect reality after a few generations. Just look at how much the US talks about their founding ideals and how the country looks nothing like it despite talking about their supposed ideals constantly (like how one of the original ideals was that only rich land owners should be allowed to vote).
You haven't got a clue about what policies or our very diverse governments of Europe represent, not even about simple basic political terminology of what political views stand for.
" both are still considered far-right depending on who you ask"
Second time I hear someone come up with the embarassing and laughable horseshoe theory.
I couldn't imagine more than a few weirdos falling for it, it's on the level of flat earthers. I guess education is as bad as in the US.
Or they get their 'knowledge' from Facebook ,YT or whatever online moron channel.
It's true, but I'd say it hasn't changed nearly as much as the US has, and would point out how market oriented every country within still is.
I should also mention liberalism was the original left wing movement, versus the monarchs that sat on the literal right in France. Words mean what we want them to, but it's non-standard to say it's always been right wing, and not universal to say it is now.
