Loathe is a strong word. Why? Honestly curious.

EU is a a wonderland for anybody who subscribes to liberalism and American led world order and hell for anybody else and prison for those who try to deviate form it even a little. EU never became a another pole in the world, it just became a American vassal management system and enemy of the actual living Europe. It empowers nameless bureaucrats and is fundamentally anti-democracy and pro-global oligarchy, and at best basically has made a vassal of every small to medium sized nation in EU to Germany and France, countries like Greece being at the bottom, in permanent debt and austerity hell. I could extend this list for days.

So if I understand you correctly, based on your reply, it's a liberal versus conservatism thing?

it’s a liberal versus conservatism thing?

It's about that if you don't see the base level or best possible human existence for all as inherently liberal and especially as western liberal democracy, neoliberalism and pro oligarchy. If one wants something else, then they are out of luck and caged and oppressed in the EU, otherwise one is free in the system. If you can't see anything beside liberalism and conservatism, then sure. Then i guess I do represent conservatism if it's that binary choice to you, not that I personally subscribe to any wider concept called "conservatism".

"Then i guess I do represent conservatism if it’s that binary choice to you,"

Oh I definitely do not think it's a binary choice, but the way you phrase it I was wondering if you think of it as a binary choice, hence my question to you.

It's been my experience that liberals are more open-minded and less binary towards conservatives ("as long as they're not hurting anybody let them do what they want") than conservatives are towards liberals ("there's only one way to God and I know the path so you must follow my way"). A way over simplification, but it tends to make the point.

Just one person's anecdotal opinion, but still, thats what my life experiences have shown me.
