Can Europe be Culturally United?
Well Europe is a multicultural place, we literally have 44 different countries, and who knows how many distinct cultures inside these countries. Well if you unite Europe, which they want, that is literally the opposite of multiculturalism, that is assimilationism.
There is nothing wrong with multiculturalism, because it leads to decentralization and individual people, or groups of people having more opportunities and freedoms, instead of everybody being herded in the same box.
Ok but yes, the history of Europe has been a history of wars between cultures, so yes I agree that we need something to hold people together, a kind of common principle that most people will share and can be proud of. Europe certainly had some interesting figures in the past 2000 years, so it is not that hard to pick somebody to be an inspiration to everyone, that can hold people together, and stop the wars between people, while also people maintaining their individual freedoms.
What does the EU present us?
The EU wants us to be inspired by Charlemagne, this barbarian tyrant that butchered half of Europe with his conquests. He was a fat slug that inflicted a lot of tyranny during his reign. Well this is what the EU wants you to look up to, they even give out Charlemagne Prize and European Charlemagne Youth Prize
Very very bad choice, and this really shows you the mentality of the EU. Instead of picking a real prominent person like Socrates or Aristotle, they instead picked a fat barbarian tyrant.
Ok they have messed up. They made a mistake. Let's forgive them. Let's see what else can we look up to? Well in most countries, you look up to the founder of the country, this heroic figure that defeated the tyrant and liberated the population from the oppressor, founding your home country.
Let's see if we can look up to and admire the founding father of the EU:
Walter Hallstein
His Excellency Walter Hallstein, the founder of the European Commission and President of it, who was a Nazi Lawyer in Nazi Germany and fully supported the Nuremberg Laws, which dehumanized Jews and paved the way to the Holocaust.
His Excellency Walter Hallstein also had many speeches showing his support for the Nazi regime, in one of his speeches saying:
"One of the most important laws (in Nazi occupied European countries) is the protection Law for German blood and honour." - Walter Hallstein
Talking about the Nuremberg Laws of course. I guess he thought that rounding up Jews and sending them to concentration camps will protect the honor of Germany.
Not the democratic type either, he called for centralization of power into the hands of the EU Commission in his book "Europe in the Making":
Well not exactly the admirable founding father type like Thomas Jefferson. Let's see if we can find another virtuous and freedom loving founding father of the EU?
Oh shit, we can't, because they were all Nazis. Nazis have founded the entire EU. Damnit!
My choice
Let's see if I can find really honorable, courageous and freedom loving people in the European History:
Seeker of truth, philosopher, teacher. Who spoke out against the tyrants of Athens, and got murdered for it. A real martyr for freedom.
"I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live." - Socrates
"It is not living that matters, but living rightly."- Socrates
General and senator, slayer of the tyrant (Julius Caesar), freedom fighter.
“What can be happier than for a man, conscious of virtuous acts, and content with liberty, to despise all human affairs?” - Marcus Junius Brutus
“The origin of society, then, is to be sought, not in any natural right which one man has to exercise authority over another, but in the united consent of those who associate.” - Marcus Junius Brutus
A remarkable libertarian politician who could not be bribed. Had a very high moral integrity and was a principled man, remarkable qualities for his time. He fought against other corrupt politicians, and fought against tyranny (Julius Caesar). Later he committed suicide, even though Caesar had pardoned him, to show him that he did not accept Caesar's authority at all, and choose death instead of subjugation.
"Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing Freedom of Speech... Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as public Liberty, without Freedom of Speech..." - Cato the Younger
"By Liberty I understand the Power which every Man has over his own Actions, and his Right to enjoy the Fruits of his Labour, Art, and Industry, as far as by it he hurts not the Society, or any Members of it, by taking from any Member, or by hindering him from enjoying what he himself enjoys. The Fruits of a Man's honest Industry are the just Rewards of it, ascertained to him by natural and eternal Equity, as is his Title to use them in the Manner which he thinks fit: And thus, with the above Limitations, every Man is sole Lord and Arbitrer of his own private Actions and Property." - Cato the Younger
"I would not be beholden to a tyrant, for his acts of tyranny. For it is but usurpation in him to save, as their rightful lord, the lives of men over whom he has no title to reign." - Cato the Younger
But of course the EU will never choose these heroes as symbols of Europe, because they are the tyrants that they are speaking about in their quotes, so I think they would rather choose Hitler or Mussolini over them.

I'll say no. Each European individual carries a different "pride gene" that is different from any other gene on the planet. Not to mention religion and background. The overrated nationalist sentiment or patriotism will also make it impossible for Europe to be one day culturally united. This is a non-arguable and non-debatable opinion, it's only my opinion. (^_^)
No. Although agenda 21 is doing what it can.
EU Is a Communist System and must be brought down by any and all means necessary.
But I think Europe could be united by respecting each Countries, Cultures and National and Individual Citizens Sovereignty.
The problem Is the the Illuminati Cabal, In charge of all these Governments, are bent on the destruction of humanity. So we all need to wake up and fight back. " Freedom Isn't Free you Have To Fight For it. "
Nope, it had more in common with the Nazis. Even Stalin, as vicious as he was, there were no taxes in the Soviet Union. Of course there was no private property either.
But you could theoretically barter and trade things and pay no taxes on that. In the EU you have to even register your cattle as a farmer and buy all kinds of health inspection stamps. Not to mention you pay 80% taxes while these EU bureaucrats are tax exempt and get all kinds of free vouchers and travel deductions, all paid by taxpayers.
It's a total Nazi tyranny, run by Nazis and sucessors of Nazi corporations:
