Scanning, scrolling and clicking smartphone screens in train stations is the unification of Europe... for what it may be worth, while it may last.

Good that the two commenters so far see the population connection to social cohesion issues. When a large mammalian species increases 800% in 8 generations, while its technologies abet an estimated tenfold increase in p/capita energy throughput, finite resources are increasingly competed for. Mix in mass migrations, and tribalism can exacerbate the situation. At the same time cultural histories can be perceived as threatened. This combination exists in some nations and has been growing this century. It's no surprise that a circling of the wagons mentality has developed.
