> “Fascist" seems a little over the top to describe these views.

You’re committing a fallacy of association and then attributing that fallacy to the parent comment. Not great.

“Fascists blame everything on immigrants...” is the logical equivalent of what they said.

I beg to differ. My original comment did not blame immigrants for anything; rather it discussed the result of the EUs immigration policy. Fascism was irrelevant to the point being made, and your understanding of the fallacy of association might warrant adjustment...

> We don't have a huge immigration problem. The immigrants are blamed for everything by the fascists, just like in America.
