The DiEM25 breakout session at the Another Europe is Possible Event in London, May 2016. Was this my moment to sign up?
Finally, here was a political movement I could unequivocally subscribe to: a transnational association of cosmopolitans, progressives and committed anti-xenophobes standing in clear opposition to the neoliberal policies which are crushing my generation’s dreams and aspirations. Working across borders to save Europe from the abysmal prospect of a post-modern 1930s steeped in nationalism and economic depression? Hell yeah, sign me up!
And how convenient it is for a fiercely political, yet inherently lazy millennial, to become part of DiEM25: one click and you are a comrade. A truly revolutionary digital act, accompanied by the warm, fuzzy feeling of instant gratification, which we usually only experience when our latest summer BBQ selfie breaks the 50-likes barrier!
