"...compared to the 1930s or even 1980s, modern Europeans know that turning streets and town squares into centers of violent action against the police who defend local communities creates a political environment in which everyone is a loser."
Or perhaps Europe's native population is so old and tired that they can't muster the same enthusiasm? (By the way, I strongly doubt that all of the people arrested in England were far Right-an immigration policy which is undeniably leading to people's deaths doesn't require any racism or extremism to be objectionable). If I'm right and THIS is the operative factor I think we'll see increasingly large protests by younger immigrant demographics, which will be tolerated and even nervously sanctioned by the state.
