The European Union, a once proud organisation that I admired, is slowly becoming a benevolent dictatorship that does indeed emulate a Napoleonic imperial structure across Europe.

I would suggest that it is not particularly benevolent. The European Union has encouraged, by positive and negative action, the worst kind of social policies acting against natural cultural diversity and stability.
Human society cannot cope with the rate of change it is faced by. In the course of history, such change has normally been preceded by invasion but we have installed the puppet governance associated with collaboration with an entirely abstract enemy - an invisible enemy.
Whether this is an orchestrated policy or the collective works of ignorant minds is debatable - I believe in the latter but our fears are realised in the former.
Live the moment because this time may well be regarded as the peak of European society in centuries to come. Nobody will be able to pinpoint the start of the decline just as they cannot define the moment when the Roman Empire started it's collapse. Enjoy the moment for we are here at the end.

Why is it that Americans constantly refer to the Constitution of the US as something special when most western countries have pretty similar constitutions that grant pretty much the same rights to their citizens?
My own country has a similar constitution except with cultural differences but we never refer to or think about ours.. its just a given that people in the free world have these rights... and this kind of constitution was around before the creation of the US.
You obviously went through a bit of effort to find that quote lol but I dont know what exactly you are getting at..?
It looks like we are going to be all in the same boat pretty soon for surveillance and loss of privacy... whether or not we always talk about our 'freedoms'.
