The dark side of social media: violence and hatred on the streets of Britain

explosion of hatred and frustration - an analysis of the right riots in Great Britain

The recent violent riots and attacks by racists and running -offs on the streets of Great Britain were the result of an explosive mixture of hass and frustration. Hetzes and confrontation in the anti -social media have discharged and triggered a wave of violence. But what is behind this terrifying event?

The roots of this outbreak of violence lie in the targeted spread of false information after the horrific knife murder of children in Southport. This false information was greedily taken up by those who want to strengthen their nationalist views through hatred and prejudices against other cultures. The violent rioters and occasional looters have completed the criminal mob who attacked people due to their skin color or origin.

The causes of these right -wing riots cannot be traced back to individual malice or moral deprivation. In fact, there is a real breeding ground for hate and frustration that is in the country's economic and social decline. Due to the de -industrialization and weakening of public services, entire population groups have experienced a strong loss of quality of life. The ideology of social carwinism funded by the Tory governments has divided society and sabotaged the Integration of immigrants and refugees. Nationalism was abused as a tool for Brexit.

The enemy image of the Muslims and the flat -rate blame for immigration are valves for the frustration of the suspended. Right media and conservative politicians have reinforced this enemy with their rhetoric and thus exaggerated the cultural conflicts into a cultural war. The people who are looking for asylum have been criminalized and even the peace protests for Gaza were slandered with Islamophobic under tones.

The police and the judiciary will undoubtedly take measures to contain these rioting. However, the most reliable opponents of the extremists are the demonstrators from the left and union spectrum that decide to oppose them. But to really dry out the swamp of hatred, a fundamental change in politics is required. The government has to rethink its policy of Social Darwinism and stand up for an integrative and inclusive society based on diversity and tolerance.
