Great piece, but I believe some confusion may have occurred with regards to the song lyric you refer to. “When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose” is from Bob Dylan’s Like A Rolling Stone. The intended reference may have been to “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose,” which occurs in Krisofferson’s Me and Bobby McGee.
So happy you wrote this. As a citizen of an actual EM country, these "loss of sovereignty" complaints are so infuriating
