Whenever I see stuff on reddit I have to think there are a bunch of trolls doing stuff like this "for the lulz". This is relatively harmless but then you have stuff like /r/The_Donald and even worse, Pizzagate.

The stuff about europe on the donald and related places is totally crazy IMO. At first it was a joke, one europe earned after merkels public invite. But then it slowly creeped into mainstream media and now is used by politicans in the USA and even "documented" in propaganda material.

    Sure i'll try. Obviously europe had a few more immigrants than otherwise over the last 2 years. The general idea was that under these immigrants will be a lot of terrorists (which showed to be wrong, because by far most attacks were done by people living there for a while) but is used until now from right partys. These US dominated subreddits like /r/The_Donald or even /r/4chan turned this into memes along "Blacks come to rape your woman" (projecting much?). And meanwhile Trump uses Europe as example for getting overrun by terrorists and turning Islam (whatever this means) in every other speech. The thing is, what most european leaders are fully aware of, its not immigration that is the problem but bad immigration where Germany and France are prime examples. I hope this helps :)

      To the guy that answered and then removed the question (Got a notifaction). Yes i live(d) in europe. In Switzerland where this whole thing barely seemed to be a problem and only named as problem by a few right politics. Also i am not claiming the sitation wasnt hard to some countries to scope. Its just that criminality & terrorism did not rise at all in most of them.
