  • I believe the results mainly reflect the anti-immigration sentiment.

    I’m a naturalized immigrant in Germany myself and don’t understand the trend at all. I imagine that supporting certain immigration groups might stretch the social support system in the country, but it’s the faulty of the system itself, no? I get the vibe that it’s the immigrants who are the problem, and that we are somehow worse humans than the natives and set our minds on causing problems just for the fuck of it.

    Can someone explain why immigration is a problem for Europe? It seem to be the good old xenophobia… Or maybe I’m biased.






  • Not really. To be open, I don’t live in Russia for over a decade. There were minor incidents even before the big war, like people abruptly stopping speaking to me upon hearing my nationality, or asking why I support (I don’t) Putin or why I don’t stop him. One guy explained to me very matter-of-factly that all Russians are intrinsically evil and deserve supervision because of it… Didn’t know how to answer that one. Very rarely I was thrown insults in the streets. But other than a very few incidents, all people I know outside of Russia were always welcoming and supportive. Recently, I received more threats and hate speech from my pro-putin compatriots than I ever received anywhere else in the world.
