The level of public debate has an impact on the behavior of ordinary people, consent to hatred, lack of consistency for inciting violence, is not without impact on the actual acts of barbarity. This is an extremely hot topic, especially today in my country, where yesterday during a charity event the president of one of the largest polish cities was attacked and seriously wounded .

Very good discussion, Hope that people will join in. In my opinion, identity-based populism is extremely dangerous in this respect. The populists who "want their country back" sooner or later will promote hate speech, first toward migrants. For the time being, they have started building fences at the borders (Trump, Orban). It is also worrisome the alliance between Italian and Polish populists.
