1. Interesting. Neo-Nazism really took off in Europe during the difficult early '80s.

That's what friends from Europe have told me.

Young people, who until '79 or so had been accustomed to a practically guaranteed job upon graduation from high school college, vocational school, etc., suddenly found themselves having to compete with one another for slim pickings.

Seeing that immigrants were suddenly among the competition as well only exacerbated the hateful sentiments - but only among a minority of young people, it should be noted (the sociopathic 5%, as they call them - who need no particular reason to hate).
