Responding to the UK Riots

by | Aug 21, 2024 | Politics & Liberty

In the last few years, we’ve seen a rise in political mob violence, from the BLM riots in 2020 to the Pro-Hamas riots earlier this year. Recently, the UK has seen its own mob violence after nationalists took to the streets, destroying property and attacking immigrants after the stabbing of young girls at a Taylor Swift dance party. Although these rioters claim that their actions are in defense of Western culture against violence brought by immigrants, they are, in reality, furthering the creation of a violent culture and becoming what they claim to be fighting against. In my latest YouTube video, I explain how these riots were based on a lie about the nationality of the attacker and that political violence, the legitimate grievances towards how the government has dealt with violent crime, and that political violence has no place anywhere, let alone a Western country.
