UK Riots Continue the Failure of the Welfare State & Racial Diversity Questioned

What we have on the streets of London and elsewhere are welfare-state mobs. The youth who are shattering their own communities represent a generation that has been suckled by the state more than any generation before it. They live in urban territories where the sharp-elbowed intrusion of the welfare state during the past 30 years has pushed aside older ideals of self-reliance and community spirit. The march of the welfare state into every aspect of urban, less well-off people's existences, from their financial wellbeing to their child-rearing habits and even into their emotional lives, with the rise of therapeutic welfarism designed to ensure that the poor remain "mentally fit", has undermined individual resourcefulness and social bonding. The antisocial youthful rioters are the end-product of this antisocial system of state intervention. The most striking thing about the rioters is how little they care for their own communities. You don't have to be a right-winger with helmet hair and a niggling discomfort with black or chavvy yoof (I am the opposite of that) to recognise that this violence is not political, just criminal. It is entertaining to watch the political contortions of commentators who claim the riots are an uprising against the evils of capitalism, as they struggle to explain why the targets have been Foot Locker sports shops and why the only "gains" made by the rioters have been to get a new pair of trainers [tennis shoes] or an Apple laptop. In the Brixton race riots of 1981, looting and the destruction of local infrastructure were largely incidental to the broader expression of political anger, by-products of the main show, which was a clash between a community and the forces of the state. But in these riots, looting and smashing stuff up is all there is. It is childish nihilism.

@Thunderwavia

Another ignorant moron scapegoating the unemployed because you have shit for brains and you believe everything the gutter press tells you.

Many of those rioting had paid jobs and thousands of unemployed people were disgusted by the violence.

Stupid fucks like you deserve to experience unemployment yourself before opening your mouth

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

zauqura- ok asshole, if you think it was just the unemployed rioting how do you explain the fact that a teacher, postman, lifeguard and would-be Olympian were among those arrested?

You are just a bigotted moron, jumping on the tabloid bandwagon of trying to scapegoat the unemployed. There were tens of thousands of decent unemployed people, including myself who were equally disgusted by the scenes of looting and mindless yobbery.
