> I like change for the better and not the other kinds so much.

I think you missed my point. I never said people should like change for the worst, my point was the change for the worst is often inevitable in the world, and the issue I was talking about is that the EU doesn't do anything when changes for the worst inevitably happen.

If the EU doesn't like changes for the worst happening, then it needs to get up its ass and implement the changes it wants to see in the world, by force if it has to, like the US and China are doing for their own interests. But the EU does nothing, it just sits on the sidelines, complains, talks down to, and moralizes its citizens and the rest of the word on how everyone should stop doing those bad things, which just gets applause from liberal activists, but doesn't actually fix anything, so EU's prosperity and influence declines leaving it poorer, more vulnerable and more and more at the mercy of external bad actors simply because it does nothing practical, only feel-good PR stunts and speech control on social media.

Edit: like the 3 Euro parcel tax the EU just added starting from today.
