I can confirm this is absolutely insane.
But sadly not the first time I heard about something like this.
Some of my friends told me on separate Occasions that their Parents ,they are 1st Generation Immigrants to Germany, support our far-right Party AFD. And are simultaneously angry with the racism they encounter.
Propaganda works.
Yep, I can confirm that. The most racist people in my wider circle of friends and colleagues are Polish and Hungarian immigrants themselves.
They are extremely religious too and I think the propaganda often builds on their beliefs.
To spice things up, imagine them as Russian immigrants, completely immersed in the alt reality via direct Sattelite TV feed into their Living Rooms 24/7. There are people in Germany who are scared to death because despite living amongst us, believing the lies their TV tells them.
(E.g. Russo phobia in Germany, Gangs target Russians, Police helps or shit like that... Fox news but X10 turbo alpha beat down edition)
Okay wow :0 This is nearly 1:1 what a Friend told me. They left Ukraine for Germany in the early 2000s and now they watch exclusively Russian Television and even broke contact with their family in Ukraine because "They are Nazis who want to kill Russians".
RT sound's like the Fox News and OANN of Europe for these poor people.
