Racism and xenophobia together with paranoid isolationism all the way to straight up facism have been on the rise recently, together with actual violence against refugees, that much is certainly true, but you forget that there are many different people with many different views living in Europe. The outpouring of support (donations, volunteer work) has also been rising a lot.<p>In Germany I have also seen a marked shift in media coverage, away from crisis reporting towards a more honest approach portraying practical solutions and steps, including volunteer work. The main evening news in Germany, for example, has been airing a portraial of volunteers and their work and has consistently shown the donation account number for wire transfers.<p>You may be stuck in your own isolationist filter bubble. There is a whole world out there.
