I mostly thought this part was bullshit:

(yeah that's an image because for some reason I can't copy the text)

No, most European countries don't shy away from patriotism because it reminds us of the Nazis. It's a more sensitive subject in Germany, for sure, but he makes it sound like there's 'MERICA PETRIOT HELL YEAH YALL or no patriotism at all.

Some nuance is needed.

The same goes for the identity. As much as Europe might want to be an identity, no population calls themselves European above all.
