Fake facebook relatives and friends are a growing problem. Had a couple of fake friends and family request a friend invite.

As a European, I have really no idea where you get most of your information from, but let's just say that I think that you are exaggerating the issues and the above is something I would expect to hear from a Wilders or Le Pen during election times. Are there issues, of course, but overall it is not as bad as you describe, but sadly it seems there is no room anymore for the middle ground, just extreme left or extreme right.
As a transplanted American to the EU, most of the news our forum friend Walt gets about the EU is from filtered right wing sources. Because they would rather demonise the EU to try to make America look good by comparison. Instead of realising you can have life saving social programs and democracy at the same time. That does not compute on his side of the chart so they tell themselves that the EU doesn’t work.
Does the EU have faults? Ohh absolutely! Do I fear becoming homeless? Or being bankrupt from medical expenses being here though? Nope.
There's also projection, as Walt seeks to stagnate/reverse American culture through militant Christianity

Palm Beach County Judge Reid Scott ruled that there was "reasonable evidence" to conclude that Musk, and other company executives knew that the vehicle's autopilot system was defective. But they continued to tout its capabilities and sell it anyway.
And I'll stand by what I originally said. It should have never been called AutoPilot.
