@Stigma, Typoshit and the others that openly champion racist, Islamophobic narratives (i.e. "immigrants are the reason our lives suck, definitely not the fact that our elites have sold us off")... yeah, those are template racists trying to ignite racial and sectarian tensions. They are creating imaginary lines and "othering" those that don't fit within the parameters of their narrow identity.
First of all, a phobia is clearly defined as an irrational fear of something. Between Islamic migrants periodically going on violent knife-wielding rampages in European cities, driving vehicles into large crowds of people during festivals and holiday gatherings and grooming gangs targeting adolescent and prepubescent European girls for literally decades while their elected officials do precisely fuck all about it for fear of being called racist, I daresay any fears they have concerning mass migration from Islamic nations is anything but unreasonable.
Second, and more importantly, you're presenting a false dichotomy. Generally speaking, anyone who's opposed to mass immigration from undeveloped nations will readily agree with you about their own elites being the root of the problem. That doesn't mean the violent behavior regularly engaged in by Islamic "refugees" who refuse to integrate into their host nations isn't also a problem. When one's home has been invaded by a pack of rabid dogs intent on raping and murdering one's children, one must necessarily deal with the immediate threat before one can worry about tracking down the malicious bastard who set them loose in the first place.

Aye, I'm aware, which is why my primary motivation in responding was, as noted, "for the lulz," as the kids say.
...I honestly have no idea whether The Kids™ say that anymore, or what they say at all beyond "skibidi toilet," whatever the fuck that is. I started a new tabletop group with some friends from a community theatre outfit I like to work with a while back and, after hearing the 20 year olds talk for the first few weeks, I realized, while I can't yet claim to be properly old, I have officially lost touch with whatever passes for youth culture.
Thank God.

@MentORPHEUS odd.
Again, I grew up in the Deep South, and most of my teachers were apolitical (at least in the classroom).

@Vermillion-Rx Let’s put it this way…
The other political parties agreed a ‘firewall’ pact that, independent of the result of the election, all the parties would work together to prevent the AfD from taking charge. French parties did the same against Le Pen.
No matter if the people want it, the globalists know what is best for the masses.
In the UK last summer labour got just 33.7% of the vote share but represents 63% of the constituencies in the country. It’s absolute bollocks and shite.

This in a way is why I'm glad for a two party system in the USA. Yes, while for a long time it was uniparty bullshit, when you go from Dem to GOP you actually get changes now.
A lot of these other countries have so many parties you go from bullshit to bullshit light. Let's hope the AfD has enough voting power to sway some policy. Though admittedly i don't know much about multi party voting so I can't speak to how it would work

Germans have opted to maintain the status quo
I haven't come around to the German election yet in the Monday flood of new podcast content I regularly listen to, but I understand the biggest majority reached was only 27% of the vote, reflecting widespread discontent with the status quo as well as the "new" slate of choices the election offered.
I consider it a GOOD thing that the population didn't reflexively swerve hard right in embracing AfD too tightly. That move hasn't had a good track record in Germany.

just normal women who can be around kids without trying to brainwash them into woke bullshit.
I was thinking too of those teachers who came of age during the idealized '50s, who were not subtle when it came to trying to brainwash us post-Vietnam generation kids into Cold War era American Exceptionalism and hard line Jingoist bullshit. The women among them who weren't openly militaristic, still employed what felt like blatantly outdated models of hard line discipline and authoritarian rule over their charges. Only the Home Ec teacher (required course early in HS) exemplified the Tradcon model, and she was LITERALLY baking cookies with the class.
