The EU was created past WW2. The amount of nationalists went down/being silent after WW2. Again, where do you think is all this going to if they want to destroy the EU and more and more nationalists gaining more power?

And no, it's obviously not the only difference, but the one that seems to matter to me right now.

The EU was created in 1993...

It has become increasingly authoritarian overriding sovereign democracies. Discontent with it is growing across the continent and ultimately carrying on its current path would have lead to further conflict on the continent.

 This is not the whole truth.

The EU can trace its origins from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC), formed in 1951 and 1958 respectively by the Inner Six countries of Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. 

French foreign minister Robert Schuman led the formation of the ECSC with the Schuman Declaration in May 1950. The organisation was a forerunner of several other European Communities and what is now the European Union.
