Hello, so I watched the Hoover Institue's interview of Douglas Murray, whom I had heard of before but never really looked into nor did I read any of works. But having done so now and rewatched the interview, I somehow cannot help but be skeptical of him.
So here's my question, how true is it that post WW-I, Europeans have gradually lost their identity due to their past, and try to make up for it by specious gestures of humanitariasim? Follow up question, is it also accurate that the formation of the EU was somehow an attempt by the Europeans to collude their identity as dominators and somehow "clean off" their past?
In regards to the question on the formation of the EU, i talk (from another account) about the motivation for the formation of the original ESCS here, and the UK motivations for joining here.
Basically, aside from possibly for Germany for dominating the European continent, it's not accurate at all that that was the motivation for the EU was motivated by "cleaning off" their past. It doesn't make sense how economic cooperation, a customs union and an internal market would achieve that either, honestly.
