Stop lionizing the EU!

I voted Remain, (hoping for reform), and am distraught about continued Tory rule, and about the fact they now have their mandate for a right-wing, pro-US Brexit, but please god can we stop lionising the EU?

It’s literally been backing/complicit in far-right/fascist movements, from Bolivia to Syria to Venezuela to Ukraine, etc.
