Lack of compassion creates resentment

WE all see thuggery within a section of the male population, so we are forced to arrest, try, and imprison some as a method to discourage others.

No intelligent adult believes that this is an answer to Britain’s problems.

The similarity to the mindless followers of Trump is obvious. The further self-justification of other protesters is a different problem.

The thuggery in this generation, is a direct consequence of

Conservative social policies in previous generations.

Hard-right politicians actually state their opinion, in the USA and UK, that you must starve the feckless poor underclass, who are not as virtuous as themselves, to drive them to take a job.

Most Conservative voters merely go along with such thinking, that some of the nation’s children should depend on food banks for nutrition, which has been deliberate Government policy for 10 years.

This absence of compassion in one generation creates resentment, frustrated anger and hatred in a proportion of the next generation.

If you were more thoughtful, you would see that this universe has been made to a different design, with the abstract rational mechanism of cause and effect, and that compassion is more than just a human emotion. Compassion is an eternal, abstract, dynamic component of this universe, at least as real as yourself, progressively entering into the human mind over centuries.
