    Being afraid of Chicago is a pretty good (though not perfect) tell about where they're getting their news. A lot of right-wing sources will go full yeonmi-park

      Being afraid of cities in general, especially if they live in a small town/rural area.

      "B-b-b-but the fascist TV man told me cities are warzones full of minorities and the homeless! Everyone is constantly robbing each other and murdering at random! No I haven't left my hometown of 2000 people in 15 years, why do you ask?"

        For Germany, it's Berlin-Neukölln. However, there's less of a "this is a dangerous no-go area", and more of a focus on supposedly super-strong arabic "clan" families, which are known as dangerous criminal organizations and there are consistent raids against in all of the country.

        Who cares that the N'drangheta (calabrian mafia) has been way more successful in weaving itself into the German Economy, it's a good occasion to scaremonger among BILD (right wing tabloid) readership.

          weaving itself into the German Economy

          Well that's the thing, German conservatives see somebody doing a giant money laundering operation and will immediately feel a deep kinship to them. Bourgeois politicians are obviously always close to white collar crime, but the CDU/CSU just loves that shit, it's their biggest passion.

      I have every right to be scared of Chicago because I had a flight with a layover there last week and as soon as I walked off the airplane and into O’Hare airport Chief Keef ran up and shot me to death

        I've been living there my whole life and always check under the bed for Chief Keef before going to sleep.

        You never know.
