of which Europe will bear the brunt.

I can understand the RWers' anxieties to a certain extent because western governments' policies do exacerbate a lot of these problems, including conservative governments.

IMO I think there is a deliberate divide and conquer policy by western goverments both at home and abroad (and again that often includes conservative politicians and governments exacerbating the problems that conservatives complain about).

Their thinking must be that if the citizens are all afraid and fighting against each other then that keeps us distracted from noticing what the 1%ers are doing.
