With the banging victory of PVV this morning, it seems to me like far-right parties are winning in European countries one after one, along with their anti-‘expat’ sentiment. It obviously makes me a bit sad and worried, even more so when I browse Dutch-related subreddits and seems that non-Western students and high-skilled workers are no longer welcome in the Netherlands and Europe.

I really love Europe and intend to build my life here in - Denmark, and things are still going alright here so far for Asian expats. How is it going in your place and do you have any plan B?

    Denmark = Nazi Germany.

    And you arrogantly say that someone should read history books.
    Jesus christ this sub is so unhinged.

      Nazism was a pan European phenomenon not just in Germany. Dutch loved the nazi’s. 10’s of thousands joined the SS. French SS defended Berlin in the last days. So called occupied west European countries cooperated enthusiastically with the final solution. You really do not know this ? We are unhinged ? You are dangerously ignorant which only bolsters my argument of a resurgence of the herrenvolk mentality. We are screwed.

        And after Europe was liberated from nazism, the dear leader’s who had sold out their countries were unceremoniously taken out back and shot. Edit: I’m Norwegian. Our puppet leader during the war was named quisling. A word now synonymous with traitor.

        It is estimated that between 20 to 25 thousand dutchmen served in the German army and the Waffen SS. Back then the population of the Netherlands was approximately 9 million.
        That is under 0,3%.

        Go out and touch some grass, and maybe read a history book.

          Glad to see you can Google but 20 to 25 thousand fighting age men which is a Corp sized unit. 300 thousand collaborated or joined the nazi party about 60 thousand stood trial. That is a good portion of the population. In any case my point still stands. History always repeats itself. No one trusts you. Time will tell. In the dutch language subredits there is talk of solving the housing crisis by evicting Muslim immigrants from their homes and giving the houses to dutch people. But I have to touch grass ?

            Fringe ideas being discussed on reddit is litterally the same as throwing people in ovens, in a systematic genocide.

            A bit overly dramatic are we?

            But i guess, since almost half of Americans vote Republican, they litterally want black people sent back on the plantations.

              What does this have to do with Americans ? Stay on topic. Right wing parties. Europe. Justifiable fear of anti immigrant hate. Revisionist history. Come on. Focus.

          The city I live when it was announced that there was going to be a refuge center built the local response was to hang a pig from a tree on the intended land. The owner of the land backed out after being threatened with violence. Nice people you are making excuses for. Excuse while I go out and touch some grass.

            You might want to watch out before doxxing yourself Heesch is a small town. And you kind of forgot that the incident happened on the backdrop of two brutal rapes committed by Muslim “refugees”.

            And again your hillbilly town is not the entirety of Europe.

            So yes, please go out and touch some grass
