Europeans — especially Germans — are increasingly keen on curbing immigration and are less focused on climate change, according to a study by a Danish-based think tank.
Europe has seen a sharp rise in the share of people who say that reducing immigration should be a top government priority, according to a study published Wednesday. Germany is topping the list.
At the same time, there was less desire to prioritize fighting climate change in the same countries, according to the survey commissioned by the Denmark-based Alliance of Democracies Foundation think tank.
Nearly half of German respondents put focus on migration
Since 2022, an increasing number of Europeans say their government should prioritize “reducing immigration,” rising from just under 20% to a quarter.
Meanwhile, concern about climate change was on the slide across the continent.
“In 2024, for the first time, reducing immigration is a greater priority for most Europeans than fighting climate change,” the report said.
“Nowhere is this reversal more striking than in Germany, which now leads the world with the highest share of people who want their government to focus on reducing immigration — topping all other priorities — and now nearly twice as high as fighting climate change,” the report read.
Propaganda works and people are stupid.
It does. We really need positive propaganda. Dupe everyone into thinking that climate change is real, we have to do something now, doubling down on renewable and sustainable resources is required, etc. I’d love to brainwash everyone into believing that public education needs more funds and resources. Or that rivers and lakes shouldn’t be polluted.
They problem is that climate change makers people feel guilty all the time and afraid (true most likely) that they will feel the financial repercussions, and not the big corporations.
So blaming the other is an easy way to feel superior and deal with the uncertainty rage.

And it immediately goes into the stereotypical sealioning.
That’s absolutely not sealioning.
We are talking about propaganda so I asked for two points of simple data outside of propaganda, no more.
The problem is the people that try to make out all immigration is good are making a propaganda statement not a factual one. That’s why you had the issue asking for data because it goes against what you want to be true. You hid from the data.
It is sealioning because we’ve been talking about this for literally years already. You’re beating a dead horse by interjecting your dumbass Nazi talking points that I don’t care about because I’ve had the “pleasure” of hearing them day after day after day for all those years, especially during the height of the refugee crisis. Just fuck off.
Its not sealioning because the data coming out of the UK and Denmark broken down by country shows exactly what you are denying.
You just can’t except facts.
Uh-huh.
