That’s the kind of sentiment that people like Göring deliberately cultivated in Germans. Not unlikely that it is happening again, but this time on a Europe-wide scale.

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

It is not at all clear toward whom this xenophobia is directed, but by reading between the lines, definitely the quiet invasion of most of Europe by masses of strangers bent on substituting the law code they claim to honor for the existing order in these communities large and small across all of Europe is forming up into a cultural clash of gargantuan proportions.
