but, this isn't a couple of thugs. this is a huge, mass movement of people in britain that are angry and scared and don't have the education or capacity to react more intelligently.
yes, there's a public safety issue, and that needs to be the first priority. but, the state needs to react to a festering problem. it can't just gloss over it. it's not bad apples. there's an ideology at play here that needs to be nipped at the bud.
this is something that you see repeatedly in history, and especially in european history, as it's something that white people are a little bit closer to. white people don't like systems of control and dominance and don't tolerate it the way that people of other races and cultures do; white people are far quicker to start breaking stuff and burning stuff down and while it's generally a function of low ability and poor education it also gets a fucking point across: that's when the state needs to adjust.
elon musk is probably wrong, for now.
he might not be in ten years if something isn't done to change the status quo, and that's not a good thing.
