I've never heard anyone from France bitch about immigrants. Or Norway. Or Germany. Or Italy. Or Thailand. Or.... this is just an idiotic take.
About 1.5mio. people in Germany were demonstrating in the last two weeks against a political party who among other things have deportation of immigrants on their agenda. They have a shockingly high amount of votes.
Anti immigration far right populist parties have become increasingly popular in almost every European country, often becoming the second largest party even.
Mcbain "that's the joke"
I guess because you haven't heard about it it doesn't exist. What do you think is driving the right wing resurgence across Europe over the past decade?

And even if you've never heard your wide circle of international friends complain about immigration, it doesn't mean the point of the image is invalid. It should be World Law ^TM^ that anyone coming from a former colony of a country should have instant citizenship in said country.
The NR went from 7 seats to 89 in the last French election. If you aren't hearing it then maybe you aren't listening.
Meanwhile Putin machine keeps throwing immigrants over Polish, Finland and Baltics borders.
As well as creating chaos in Africa via proxy military companies.
Thailand built a tourist economy on child prostitution, Italy has had some of the greatest economists and economic theory large scale experiments of all time and still came out of it fucking bankrupt multiple times, but I've got nothing on Germany or Norway though.
