    I never denied Russian interference. All I said is that migration could only weaponised because Europeans are racist and hate that brown people want to come to Europe.

    That Russia is also involved in making Nazi parties in Europe big is another issue that fuels the first. But if centrist politicians would have actually tried to combat the "migration crisis“ narrative instead of parroting it hoping to win back votes things might have gone differently.

    But instead we have Nazi parties and former centrist parties turned right wing all over Europe cucking either for Putin and/or Trump or trying to differentiate themselves by being "moderate“ which is just doing racist and pro-corporate liberal politics.

    As it is, most voters (not people) and most parties in European parliaments are defacto right wing. This isn’t something to argue about, that’s just statistics.

      You can reasonably make the same claim of absolutely any group of people though. To single Europe out as racist makes no sense. There are racists everywhere, on every continent, in every country, in every city, town, and village.

      What’s suddenly making them a problem is they’re all being encouraged from every angle, above board and below, because it serves the 1%s purposes.

      By attempting to lay the blame at the feet of “Europe” you’re simply playing into their hands.

        I’m not singling anyone out. This is an article about Europeans and I’m pointing out that they’re racist because it’s about them and not about anyone else.

        I agree with you that it’s very human to be racist and it’s not something special about Europe. But that doesn’t make it right and we have been better than that in the past.
