None of this should be new. Just like America Europe was ripe for right-wing radicalization. Islamophobia, homophobia, racism (ESPECIALLY against Romani) has always been a thing. All that was needed is some kindling to be added to the embers.
Western Europe will blame the East (rightfully so because they are racist and homophobic as FUCK) but go to a Football match in Spain, Germany, Italy, or France and you’ll hear some vile shit that is completely normalized.
