Farage riots what is next?

[Val]

Farage followers thought that alleged killer was muslim. Hence Farage nazis caused mayhem outbreaks of anti-immigrant violence in a number of cities and towns, leaving the new UK government scrambling to control the worst disorder in more than a decade.

Crowds of far-right Farage followers set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers, leaving those inside trapped and terrified, while throngs of rioters in other cities damaged public buildings and clashed with police, throwing objects at officers and smashing their vehicles and burnt a library.

When, O Val, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now? Do not the nightly guards placed on the Palatine Hill — do not the watches posted throughout the city — does not the alarm of the people, and the union of all good men — does not the precaution taken of assembling the members in this most defensible place — do not the looks and countenances of this venerable body here present, have any effect upon you? Do you not feel that your plans are detected? Do you not see that your conspiracy is already arrested and rendered powerless by the knowledge which every one here possesses of it? What is there that you did last night, what the night before — where is it that you were — who was there that you summoned to meet you - what design was there which was adopted by you, with which you think that any one of us is unacquainted?

Shame on the age and on its principles! The forum is aware of these things; the moderators see them; and yet this man lives. Lives! aye, he comes even into the forum. He takes a part in the public deliberations; he is watching and marking down and checking off for slaughter every individual among us. And we, gallant men that we are, think that we are doing our duty to motorcycling if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks.

You ought, O Val, long ago to have been led to execution by command of the moderators. That destruction which you have been long plotting against us ought to have already fallen on your own head.

You do all know that the quickest way to kill a thread is to not reply to it.

Haven't posted here in a zillion years.

Rioty rioters were wankers.

Disillusioned, forgotten and white communities lashing out in hopelessness? Not intrinsically wankers.

Fairness where it's due, when the 2012 riots happened I was my good lefty self and argued that there is an underlying reason for it.

Well the same needs to be applied now.

And even if it was quite literally "they're all just racists", well that is still A Problem, and no amount of "they're all just racists!" will fix it.

Wishing people to not be racist is a fantasy in the same vein as The New Soviet Man (and Woman).

There is a tension between being suspicious of Them and keeping Us safe. To reject the Outsider is to reject new ideas and accept stagnation yet new ideas (note: not necessarily better ideas) may risk destabilising the existing social structure.

The solution to "Them and Us" is to make Them... Us - integration of the new with the old. We have, as a society, not only failed with integration we have utterly rejected the concept and embraced segregation. So why then are we dismayed by the inevitable sectarian violence?

The Paris Olympics is nearly over so thankfully we can hand back the rioting baton to the French. It was never really our thing.

We can look back in history. Technical knowledge may have increased substantially but people haven't really changed much over the last 150,000 years or so.

When rulers become wholly disconnected from their subjects something or someone will eventually come along to bring the old order crashing down.
