Europeans — especially Germans — are increasingly keen on curbing immigration and are less focused on climate change, according to a study by a Danish-based think tank.
That is mainly because the fear of migration tends to sound completely bat shit crazy when put into words, at least at the levels that aren’t related to climate change making large parts of Earth’s warm and dry regions uninhabitable.
Mainly because people who are anti-immigrant moan about “unbearable” rates of immigration at immigration rates far below 1% of the existing population and have prejudices like the ones in your comment about immigrants being criminals or replacing the local culture or language even at those comparatively low numbers.
As they aren’t even allowed to talk about the fear openly.
There’s an entire political party built around it and you think people can’t talk about it openly?
Look at the up votes here. I don’t think it is encouraged in any sense.
If lemmy was the entire EU voting block the world would be a very different place. It’s not encouraged here, but here is not the entire EU.
True.
