In every city you see them. The young men with nowhere to go and nothing to do. They are not unique to London, or Paris or Rio; each country, unhappy in its own way, has its own means of production. They are the world's problem demographic, caught between childhood and adulthood, care and responsibility, education and application. Wherever there is poverty and inequality, young men are waiting, ready to explode. Wherever there are cracks, they will be falling through them.
-- The Economist (Smells Like Disillusioned Teen Spirit (Apr 19, 2016))

"'The... people are so miserable,' read a social media post in the wake of yet another mass killing in the country earlier this year. The same user also warned: 'There will only be more and more copycat attacks.'" China, not the US.

[2/2] Since the 1980s the #CCP has used #nationalism as a pillar of support for their rule.

Anchoring its power over people in the #Chinese #tradition has worked out well for them.

#Nationalism is like an evil glue to a group of people to make them hate "others" instead of their rulers.

Still, their is a lot of reason for #socialunrest in China and the #party knows that quite well.

It is interesting studying the party's approaches of dealing with it including #Counterinsurgency

There is a new major #food #scandal in #China

After the #地沟油 #gutteroil & the 2008 melamine-contaminated #baby #formula scandal, a new #foodsafety #problem was discovered.

A state-owned company used the same #tankers to transport cooking oil & fuel. To safe costs, without a cleaning in between.

As the news spread via #Beijing #News & #Weibo, the government started a major censorship campaign.

#Foodsecurity is a major reason for #socialunrest in China

The widening income and wealth #inequality can lead to #socialunrest and conflicts. These countries struggle with stability, resilience, and unity. Neglecting a significant portion of the population results in desperation, #disillusionment, #rebellions, and violence. #classconsciousness increases, with workers turning to #socialism or #communism, and the wealthy supporting #fascism to maintain their privileged position on top of #capitalist hierarchies. https://youtu.be/X_1RhEx5wUE
