The riots don't have any greater meaning

Sometimes far-right morons are just far-right morons

The rioting in various British towns and cities has been really fucking grim.

Aside from the one enjoyable moment, when one of the rioters got hit in the balls by a brick thrown by somebody on his own side, it has been a horrible reminder of just how despicably humans can behave towards other humans. I felt a bit sick seeing the footage of the group of thugs attacking the hotel that was housing asylum seekers – people whose only ‘crime’ is fleeing their home countries in fear for their lives, looking for a safe place to live.

And though I am usually relatively liberal on matters of law and order, holding normie centre-left opinions about the importance of rehabilitation and tackling the root causes of problems, I did find myself briefly experiencing a renewed appreciation for the carceral state.

My anger, however, goes much further than just the morons on the ground. I’m also furious about the ghoulish commentators who have offered self-serving explanations for the disorder, and concluded that, well… the riots prove what they’ve been saying all along.
