United States of Europe - Now!

I like the idea, but really dislike the name. Makes it sound like it should follow in USA's footsteps which exactly what we don't want.
- I think European Union still sounds better, it's a marriage.
  
  Sounds a bit stale. Maybe come up something different. How about
  
  E U R O P E A N E M P I R E
  
  How’s that?
- I agree but I guess the name is supposed to be catchy
  
  Hi how did you come across this petition, is it legit ? See my other remarks.
Ok, EU, we are fucking not calling it US(E).
I like the idea, but I don't think it's going to happen. People aren't ready to give up national sovereignty.
- Germany for one is already a federal country. Meaning that while a lot of things are done by the federal government but quite a few state-internal things are done by the states themselves, such as education for one.
  
  This could be done for the EU as well
- Depends on what form that takes, and how gradual.
This post would fit better into !europe@feddit.org or !europeanfederalists@lemmy.world

I just want to bring this up because this community is about discussing European products/services and we don't want the discussion to turn into nationalism/euronationalism.
Signed!
I’m doing my part.
