How is this city not the capital of the EU? It has culture and high relevancy within Europe. Instead we went with some literally who city of a non-country.

Italians are too corrupt, also it's the capital of the catholic church

>high relevancy
Poor corrupted shitole
why is that capitaly of italy? why is it not Milan?

Vienna is superior to Rome.

it's filled with romanian and bulgarian gypsies, mahrebs and niggers
the capital of EU should be Wien

>high relevancy
maybe 2000 years ago

but inferior to Milan

The last time I went to Milan in the summer it was covered in a dome of smog.

what's your point?

because the EU is a franco-germanic project, so they chose strasbourg, a franco germanic city between germany and france

in fact, if the EU could exterminate all italians and wipe out every bit of history concerning Italy from the world, they would gladly do it

same obviously for the UK, but they did what we don't have the balls to do (but as time goes on, I'm convincing is because we are too dumb, see this fellow italian here )
viva brexit

How come it looks even worse than South American cities?

When will your fucking government recognize your language? I mean, Italy not doing it is sadly expected, but you're behind Piemonte even on that!

The state of Italian education

I've been to Bogota.
You better step down from you high horse.

Me too and trust me it doesn't look like ruins

>some literally who city of a non-country
Don't talk shit about Strasbourg or I'll come to your house and make you catch my hands kid

Those ruins are the remainings of ancient rome you ignorant prick.
Also the whole south of the city are with garbage and raw bricks build slums so don't come up with this shit about Bogota.

Because they wanted somewhere with less political prestige. So they went with brussels, and france whinged so they also got strasbourg.

>Shitalia
>prestige
Bwhoho-bwhonhonhonhonhonhonhonhon

Shut up. PLEASE.

Strossburi/Straßburg/Strasbourg is meaningful for being on the border, plus the contact between civilizations, but it's clearly about Germany and France. While Rome would appeal to the civilization background of most Europe.

> the whole south is shit
True. I can't dispute this fact. However, the north, east and west look better than pic related. Btw, I'm not talking about the colisseum, I'm talking about the state of those buildings in the background. Are those archeological pieces as well? don't think so

>How is this city not the capital of the EU?
I think the reason is the same as the reason for not making the capital Paris.

They wanted a meme city located on the territory of one of the original members(obviously) and they wanted it to be somewhat central and any city in Italy would be too distant to all the other members since Italy was the farthest point of the original union.Geography...sorry.

If you want to make it the capital now, sure.That would place it closer to me so i am all for that.Might even visit it since it will be a two rabbits with one stone trip.

There's also this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oaths_of_Strasbourg
Symbolically the place is where they said "Rome is no more, but we have some sort of supra-national State in its place".

>gipsies in charge of discussing what is meme and what isn't

Are you THAT butthurt?

Gypsies live all around the world since their culture is nomadic, so i would expect for them to be very knowledgeable on the memery of any city.

P.S. If a gypsy owns a house/land he can co longer be called a gypsy.Nomadic, remember?

>Instead we went with some literally who city of a non-country.
That's the whole point though. It couldn't be either in France nor Germany, so it had to be in the middle between both just so nobody felt it was unfair.

This thread is for civilized countries only.

Then fuck off because no civilized country kills local cultures like this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergonha

>Br*zil in charge of deciding what is civilization and what isn't

>non country
that was the whole point

Brussels has a symbolic location between Germany and France, where a lot of things happened, which were bad for Europe. Flamish people were also cool, for me it was completely different from Netherlands. Netherlands people are very open and rude, but Flaams were reserved, polite and curious. I felt much more compatible with them. Every time I have met Belgiand they have been nice.

Civilization has to do with coexisting. If you can't coexist and need to get rid of the other, then you simply aren't civilized.

Case in point, I'm not saying that as someone who pays taxes to the Brazilian government (aka Brazilian) but as something more relevant - a human being.

This. The EU started out as a Franco-Germanic project back in the 50s, when the capital of West Germany was Bonn. Brussels and Strasbourg are both roughly equidistant between Paris and Bonn and easy to reach from those two cities by train.

The fact that Brussels and Strasbourg are still capitals should tell you how willing the Germans and French are to actually live up to the internationalist ideals of their pet project and share control with the other members.

Given that the EU has expanded east and south, Vienna might be a good capital now. Plus, ever since the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire its been looking for something to do with all those palaces. If you were going to pick based on size, economic importance, and internationalist credentials then I'm afraid the clear and obvious answer is London.

Have a song and relax.

I think that he is trolling so we should simply stop responding to him.

>Civilization has to do with coexisting
So you don't even understand the point of these politics. Not like it was unexpected.
>le trolle xd

>So you don't even understand the point of these politics. Not like it was unexpected.
>missing the point that much

Eh, I'll follow 's advice.

Should have joined earlier, if you are not willing to put in the effort you wont reap the rewards.

Reminder that the reasons you are leaving, including poles and other eastern euros and voting for sanctions and other stuff by partial and not full majority were all put forward and supported by Bongish Governments.

Hypocrites.

>missing the point that much
It's not missing the point, you shit-for-brains monkey. The reason there was an attempt at suppressing local culture was specifically to make people more able to live together. "Case in point" (as you said), look at what happens in Catalonia because of "urr cultuurh".

It's a fucking shithole, what are you on about.

>literally had to beg three times to join

Okay... first I assumed this was trolling, but I shouldn't be so optimistic. It's outright stupidity.

Do humankind a favour and drink some bleach, mkay?

>no argument
>no knowledge of sociology
>only insult and pol-tier "kys"
I sure will follow your advice Pablo.

>literally who city of a non-country

That's what the EU likes about it. Culture and history leads to nationalism.

How's Yugoslavia going? And how's Switzerland going?

>voting for sanctions and other stuff by partial and not full majority
Is this the sort of thing the German media tells you was a reason for Brexit?

I'm no zookeeper, but it looks like I'll need to spoonfeed some retard/nationalist/imbecile... here I go.

Cultural differences in Yugoslavia were never that large. Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian boil down to four standards of the same language; and yet the whole thing fragmented. Why? BECAUSE THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DIDN'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT LOCAL RIGHTS.

Cultural differences in Switzerland are fucking huge. Not counting the half dozen Romansch speakers, you have three local languages, all referring to external standards. And yet the most you see there is the Jurassic separatism against Bern, but nothing serious against Switzerland itself. Why? BECAUSE SWITZERLAND GIVES THE CANTONS A LOCAL AUTONOMY THAT KEKS LIKE YOU NEVER DREAMT OF.

Back to Spain. Spain always loved to thrash local rights in the name of "MUH CENTRALIZASHUN". That's why you have the Basques getting pissed and wanting to leave, Catalans getting pissed to leave, fuck, I wouldn't be surprised if some Galician separatist movement popped up. And if shit goes downhill, even Andaluzians will want to leave, even if they speak the same fucking Castilian as Madrid.

So, this "hurr durr local languages breed separatism" argument you're parroting from some pedo named Gregoire is BULL FUCKING SHIT.

Now, back on "civilization". If you weren't so fucking stupid, you would realize the "coexistence" isn't only about individuals, but it extents itself to different cultures and linguistic groups. If you want to get rid of the neighbouring city's culture in the name of stupidity like "MUH YUGOSLAVIA/FRANCE/SPAIN SHULD HAV 1 CULTUR!" then you aren't civilized. You're basically the same as Sub-Saharan niggers still fighting their tribal disputes. Civilization-wise, the French government took a LOOOOONG time to leave this tribal mindset, and it's obvious by retards like you that some French still have this very uncivilized=tribal mindset. You just replaced "muh tribe" with "muh cunt tree".

Wien is literally the same, tho.
Only pros for Wien would be that it is less dirty and corrupt.

It is what I gain from british media, polish immigrnats and being told what to do.

I speak multiple languages and thus have acess to a lot more news stations, wheras I doubt you read our news.

>this bong autsim

Holy crap.

I'd fancy Berlin as the capital, but only as Welthauptstadt.

We already were the capital of the EU before there was an EU.

fuck franco germanic pigs desu

>t. ruled by them the last thousand years.

Ask the northern Italians what they think about the south and muh Langobards.

You clearly don't speak English that well, so some of the nuances may have passed you by.

I would say that the root cause of Brexit is a completely different philosophy on the role of government. Continental Europe tends to be more bureaucratic and more authoritarian than Britain (German courts don't even have juries, for example).

The complete unwillingness of the EU government accommodate British concepts of government, or even acknowledge that there might be other ways of doing things, made Brexit inevitable. The traditional EU core - Germany and France, plus a few smaller states like Belgium - has always pretended that they care about compromise and inclusiveness to get people to join. Then when you're actually in, they turn around and say: 'no, this isn't a partnership, this is the way we do things and now that you're a member you have to do it like this too.'

In a way, the Brexit is like the American revolution. Back in the 1770s the British government failed to understand that the protests weren't about the tea tax, they were about the nature of the relationship between the colonies and the central government. The British government lowered the price of tea and assumed that that would settle the issue, without understanding that it wasn't a matter of money (directly), it was the unrepresentative structure of the government.

>Instead we went with some literally who city of a non-country.
Perfect for a project like EU, whose purpose is the destruction of European nations.

the coliseum is such an eyesore, it should be bulldozed already

So, as I said, being told what to do.

What you write does not really disarm my arguments that you just dislike being outvoted.

>Also I still speak mroe languages than you do, Mr personal attack.

Fuck off you pathetic tryhard. You'll never be European and Europeans will never look at you as anything but a violent monkey.

>even Andaluzians will want to leave, even if they speak the same fucking Castilian as Madrid.


We speak a different dialect of castillian. In fact, the northfags are unable to understand us.

In NO moment I ever IMPLIED I'm European.
You need to buff up your banter.

I mean you speak the same language, unlike the Catalans, Asturians, Galicians.

Unluckily yes, but dont say that we speak the same when our castillian is closer to the one chile than the castillian spoken in the north of Iberia.

Rome is already the Capital of Christendom.

I nominate Mediolanum or Berlin.

Ah, fair point. In general languages in the New World get some dialect levelling, so the variation isn't as large as in Europe. Same applies to the English spoken in [say] Lancashire vs. London.

Although speaking about Chileans, odds are yeísmo arrived in the Americas because of you guys, not the Northerners.

*same applies to English, the one spoken in USA will resemble far more Estuary than Lancashire's resembles it. [fuck sleep deprivation]

thanks no, we also should get the fuck out of EU

>imagine the colosseum being blown up by merkel imported allah refugees
the horror

Also voting for Vienna.

>as anything but a violent monkey.>>
Steady! I think that is cultural appropriation. I'd have to check our union rep, but I'm pretty sure Poles have the reputation for being the 'violent monkies' of Europe. You're bordering on copyright infringement m8! :)

it would be a worthy sacrifice
