Dayum... That's shameful for Denmark. As for the German far right, polls tell many different stories. The German government is still very democratic. What about Canada? You also accused them of fascism.

To be fair, I would agree that the German government is the most decent in Western Europe. But the far right and anti-refugee sentiment in Germany has risen dramatically, and it wasn't that great to begin with.

But just to add a few more examples, you have places like Italy, Spain (the current government is still a direct descendant of Franco's fascist monarchy) and France (see latest laws against Muslims and Arabs, and just the rising hatred in general).

The point is, Western Europe is always painted as this morally superior place, when it is very much not. People are quick to shit talk third world countries as if we're the only ones dealing with fascistic governments. At least we acknowledge it. So many Europeans do not.
