That's why I try to explain that to russian speaking newcomers. Because lots of them have high expectations of europe, but the most of them lack in funds, so they get in the same shit they were in. Life will always be shitty without money, no matter in which country you live in. Maybe there will be some positive parts, but there will be also new negative. So you can move, but keep in mind that you are not going to see heaven. You have to be able to create it yourself.

Exactly, it's all about the mindset. I'm not saying everyone is the same but, judging how lawless and destructive a lot of young immigrants in France are acting, I'd say they severely lack the right attitude.

And ofcourse, it's more nuanced than that. One also should take into account all the social unrest that has been building up in the past decade. I'm sure a part of them are also legitimately displeased with the government but all the looting and destruction of private property shouldn't have a part in that.
