The far-right is only winning because of rising wealth inequality, wages, costs and underfunded Public Services. Populist far right parties (like in Austria, Italy!) are largely funded by billionaires and other dubious investors. And since these investors don't want these problems to be solved (for obvious reasons) these far right puppets have to invent populist hate shit like the "refugee crisis".

It's always the same shit with them: Provide easy solutions to complex problems.

If government services would be properly funded, this crisis wouldn't exist.

they’re using all of the same tactics on you and it’s working in some places.

You're a good example of that.

The immigration cannot be stopped without seriously inhumane measures like shooting at people who try to cross your border. And even that will barely make a dent. I'm not giving up my humanity for a few percent drop in immigration. The immigration situation in Europe is born of the knowledge that if you want this to happen peacefully you have to give immigrants a shot at making a life here without having to turn to crime.

The fact that this bothers you is more proof of the succes of right wing propaganda than anything else.

If you look at the past there have always been people moving about, sometimes they successfully integrated or mixed cultures, sometimes it was genocide in one direction or the other. Hard measures like seriously closing borders are bids for war.
