What the hell is going on in Europe that's causing this recent surge in the far right? Seriously, fist Italy, then Spain, now Germany of all places.

If you take a look at biger picture it becomes obvious what is happening.

But saying it will mark anyone as persona non grata, so I will leave it to reader to find out where increase in hate and violence is coming from.

Ignore it.

"We all know the reasons but I'm not allowed to say it" is a well known dogwhistle meaning "It's the immigrants and the evil elites not only ignoring these very real problems but actively trying to replace us all with easier to manipulate stupid foreigners". And of course they are right with the second part... saying that bullshit out loud will indeed earn them insults and being called right-wing nutjobs.
