Soros is directly responsible for massive increases in rape in Germany and Sweden, as well as encouraging terrorism in the west with his compulsive promotion of immigration of unsuitable people. It's noticeable that he does not promote Syrian immigration to Israel, which is next door and has taken in zero refugees, and instead uses all of his resources to force Western countries to accept thousands of young unaccompa…

There is no massive increase of rape, neither in Germany nor in Sweden. Look up the actual statistics.

This discussion if quickly being flooded with right-wing extremists. If you make a claim, please, provide a reputable source. If you see a claim being made without a source, do something for the intellectual health of this community and downvote.

I don't think just because people disagree with the preferred political narrative of the global rich that that automatically makes them right-wing extremists. You know, it's possible to not like George Soros while also not being a literal Nazi.

Heh, I just made a joke in another thread about how I like to imagine sometimes people like Soros are actually hidden ultra-conservatives. They promote pro-immigration policies because it is the most robust way to turn West Europeans towards conservatism and nationalism.

If one indeed wanted to achieve that goal, I couldn't think of a faster way.

At this rate, we'll probably see walls built in Europe before we see Trump's wall over here.

As a German who follows this thing very closely, I'm afraid this is not true. At least in my city, there is a vastly unproportional amount of sexual crimes committed by refugees. I know that's as uncomfortable as it gets. But as a pure fact it is true, independent of any political affiliation.

I've seen a Syrian immigrant attempt to sexually assault a women with my own eyes. You should stay in your ivory tower if you want to be able to maintain your delusions.

I've seen a native citizen attempt the same. An anecdote doesn't make it a statistic. BTW, did you stop him, report him to the authorities or stood by as an idle observer?

I got between her and the attacker, together with a local homeless man. This was on a busy street in London. Everyone else was commuting home ignoring the situation.

He pushed and spat at her. He clearly thought his behaviour was normal, since the presence of others does did not deter him. "Why will you not come with me? Is it because I am Syrian? Are you a racist?"

As a fellow German please remember that these cases are reported more than 'normal' rape cases. It's a simple case of sample/selection, the most visible cases seem more frequent, thus more people focus on them, thus they get reported more. Think of the Russo-German girl in Berlin, where it turns out it was all just a false report (girl ran away from home and didn't want her parents angry when she came back, so claimed to have been abducted...), This was played ridiculously out of proportion, largely because Russian-funded media threw itself behind this case, even long after it was debunked.

Tl;dr: what is salient seems more frequent. Just like people think shark attacks and plane crashes are much more frequent than they are.
