Depends both on country and ideology. German people generelly like her and continue to vote for her party.heydaralon wrote:Bjorn:
Do most Europeans like or dislike Merkel?
Pro-EU federalists like her, so do most center-left and center-right. But she is considered to be too much of a friend to the financial sector and for a undermining of welfare states for alot on the further left than social democrats.
In Denmark most i know found her patronizing on the issue of taking in refugees and annoyed with Germany (and Sweden) for making us the transit country between the two favorit refugee destination countries. Immigrant-refusing countries like Hungary and Poland no doubt share that sentiment.
She seems to be well respected in the Belgium and Luxembourg.
Greeks hate her guts. Especially on the left. She's seen as the one who imposed harsh austerity meausures on Greece.
Otoh, even those politically dislike her, respect her. Well... again, except for the Greeks.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.

My brand of "libertarianism" isn't quite what you make it out to be. E.g., I'm all for spacing degenerates.

A lot of that post was tongue-in-cheek, but you can't deny that Germany is the dominant force in the EU?BjornP wrote:No. I realize you may hear most about Merkel and Germany in your news, but Germany doesn't dictate that other European countries should follow their laws.California wrote: EU = Germany
Without Germany the EU ceases to exist. Its like the Holy Roman Empire all over agin. You guys should know by now to never give those people any power
And don't tell me you seriously believe Germans are somehow more culturally or historically inclined towards imperialism or dominating their neighbours than, say France or Britain? Even if that was ever true, todays 21st cent. Germany isn't Prussia or Nazi Germany, let alone the HRE..They are pacifist and non-interventionist as a culture now.
It does make sense that the little shitty countries like Luxembourg and Belgium are the most fervent EU supporters though, they stand to gain a lot more from a grouping than the Great Powers do.
That being said, Belgium is my favorite country just because of these two
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session

Re: Social Justice Warriors Thread
Woman in a drug and alcohol-fueled rage tries to stab her boyfriend to death. The judge lets her off because she has a "promising career as a heart surgeon".
That's right. The woman who tried to murder a man, who was on drugs at the time, should not go to prison because the paternalistic judge thinks she needs to be operating on human beings...
