Well, sure it's safe to say that. Since we were different from the start of your independence, that ought to be obvious. Capitalism, democracy, classical liberal ideas... those have been European from their inception. They are not in danger of being replaced by Communism, or disappearing because of reduced contact with Americans.DBTrek wrote:Regardless of where Denmark winds up 500 years from now, I think it's safe to say that both they and the EU (should it survive) will not look anything like America.
You don't happen to think it will look like China, but you can only consolidate and expand government power over a disarmed and passive populace for so long until the differences are more cosmetic than material.
Don't know where you get the "passive" populace notion from. What do you base that on? Americans strike me as more of a people who put up with alot of shit from their government, without even contemplating changing how their system works.
The history of revolutions tend to show that the State banning weapon ownership, did not bother the rebels. They found weapons no matter what the law said. True rebels don't require written permission from the State to rebel and seize the weapons it needs to burn down their illegitimate government. If you are rebels, rebel.
