Notice how riots started around the same time as Microsofts console reveal conference... I don't think the Swedish authorities realize what's causing these riots.

The celebration of being able to add 900 extra friends to your gamertag is gotten way out of hand.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

they had no coal left for the BBQ, what do you do? burn cars ofc.

Edit: the whole thing started when the police shot (killed) a man wielding a machete that was attacking people, when he had 'fled' to his apartment (was apparently psychically ill, duh) he got shot there. People got upset (man was 69yo.) and started burning things.
Then other people caught on that you could pretty much burn stuff everywhere w.o. beeing caught and started with that.

Mostly there isn't really a reason besides a bunch of teenagers rallying around a reason to have riots. You also shouldn't argue that the riots are due to "liberal policies" in Sweden when countries like the US during their most conservative periods are notorious for having far more violent riots with lots of murder.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Whether it's France or Sweden, I like how it's always the generic "youths" whenever this happens.

Multiculturalism is so beautiful.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the whole world would be populated with old farts? Fuck youth!!

That's what happens when you concentrate immigrants in places that then becomes segregated. They need to be more spread out across the country. Swedish language classes not being mandatory is a problem for the integration as well...

This is the exact problem in the UK, i'm surprised there haven't been similar riots here to be honest. Unless the 2011 August riots in London happened due to racial tensions (i don't think they did). But it's like our government doesn't really want to admit that there are any many problems with the "open door" immigration policy and yet we are called "racists" if we want to cut immigration. What's the point in coming to a country with few jobs being created?

It's already like that in  regions of some countries

I think this is a very widespread problem amongst most politicians in the Western world; they're more or less afraid to tackle these problems in fear of being called out as racists. I think this ignorance is the cause why Sweden has it's first anti-immigration party in the Riksdag (parlament) now.

And in the years to come this will spread across other European countries. It's a bunch of factors in one, the current and ongoing economic misery mostly.
And yes, not caring for your immigrants has been a big mistake in lots of countries. I guess it's too late for that now. At least for the bigger part.
