do you guys think that within the next hundred years Europe will fully unify into the United States of Europe? (pawb.social)

Just wondering as an American watching the EU pool resources and mostly work for the same common goals over my lifetime.

To clarify, I'm not saying that this would be a part of the United States of America, but a separate world power.

Please don't, it's good to have differences between people and different places to go

I truly hope so. And the best time to initiate this project is right now, when all of Europe is facing same issues that unite us

I don't think so. Of course it's hard to predict what Europe will look like in 100 years, but I'd like to image the EU more as a service provider for its member states. Maybe the military will be combined and the economy is already very much linked together which will increase. But I don't think the member states will cease to exist as sovereign nations. Europe is far more diverse not only in language but also in culture. That is in my opinion a strong feature of the union as it is a union in diversity.

As a Canadian, could it be rebranded to Western Democratic Union (or something), so we can join? Also it might help UK undo its mistake if it didn't have to admit its mistake.

Why should we meet you half way? Just move Canada to Europe instead.

I hope within a hundred years, the entire globe can unite and we can all just be Earthicans.

Edit: What hateful POS is against worldwide unification?

I've always been partial to Earthers (or Terrans).

Tellurian is less obvious, but I much prefer the sound of it
