On Tuesday morning, the year is almost three days old, Radio SRF 1 makes the New Year’s Eve riots the main subject of the news: in Berlin, a crowd fired fireworks at residential buildings, passers-by and emergency services. 41 police officers and 15 firefighters were injured.
The words that the Swiss national broadcaster sends into the ether sound a lot tamer. In a soft voice, the presenter reports on prime time about the ‘people’ in the streets of the German capital who have let themselves be carried away by violence. Good thing they weren’t donkeys or chimpanzees.
To put things in perspective, a reporter from Germany explains the causes of the escalation to the Confederates: First comes the government, which has failed to enact a blanket ban on fireworks. Then there is the rule of law, which does not act more consistently, the authorities that play a kind of “boxing game”, the courts that do not punish hard enough, and last but not least the law enforcement officers themselves that fail to gain more authority.
Everyone else is responsible for the primitive action: the circumstances, the public, the politics.
Is nobody missing? Exactly: the perpetrators – almost without exception boys and men – are only mentioned in passing, who fired at people with signal missiles and alarm pistols from a few meters away, lured the fire brigade into ambushes and smashed the windshield of an ambulance with a fire. extinguisher.
Opinionists prefer to talk vaguely about ‘juvenile violence’ – as if an average collection of adolescent women and men have taken action on the Spree. This is an expression of a widespread attitude in the West, which for well-intentioned motives is increasingly practicing and even praising itself for political self-castration.
In this way one avoids stating the unpleasant fact that the destructive force comes from a very specific subculture, which is expressed in lifestyle, consumption and rap music, for which women are “cunts” and “bitches”, and homosexuals as “fags” in the kindest thing” and elevates the law of the thumb to a kind of vulgar philosophy.
Whether the individual offender is called Armin or Ahmed, Karl or Karim is immaterial. The breeding ground exists, develops in the suburbs of Europe from Brussels to Berlin, from Manchester to Marseille and is formed by immigration from Islamic countries from North Africa to the Middle East. But for fear of being accused of “agitation”, the Juste milieu settles for the Marxist cliché of the exploited losers in modernization.
There is no doubt that there is a tragic problem among the classes, and the majority bourgeois society certainly shares the responsibility for the formation of ghettos in the prefabricated housing estates, which serve as a cheap labor pool. It is also true that the world is far from equal opportunities and social mobility is low; on the other hand, asset concentration is increasing, also in Switzerland.
This knee-jerk victimization, the victim temple for violent criminals who shout their hatred in Arabic into mobile phone cameras, unfortunately has no long-term effect other than harming the innocent members of these communities.
In the long run, only one force in Switzerland will benefit from the unfair treatment and selective reporting of this problem: the SVP.
