all the scaremongering is hilarious.

Only if you didn't pay attention in history class.

Certain European governments didn't tattoo serial numbers on the arms of certain citizens so they could more easily access government services and check out library books.

You can say "Europe isn't like that anymore" all you want. Governments change. Power shifts.

Less than a decade ago, Europe was saying that Russia is no longer a threat because it was welcomed into the Western economy. Things change.

The present is not the future.
