“You call on us to consume while simultaneously depriving us of the possibility to do it properly―so here we are..!” The 2011 UK riots thus in a way stage the truth of “post-ideological society”. …The problem with such riots is not their violence per se, but the fact that it is not truly self-assertive―in Nietzsche’s terms, it is reactive, not active, impotent rage and despair masked as a display of force, envy masked as triumphant carnival.
