@death >Perhaps the Reichstag is burning.
The system, if not collapsing, is certainly about to undergo a major shift. From what I'm seeing so far, leadership at every level is breaking down. Stuff like the riots offer them a chance to offer some illusion of control. Let things get bad enough that enough people are willing to give up civil liberty for order like in the wake of 9/11 while shifting attention from the multiple failures taking place.
The kids in the street may think that they're winning but they're just pawns following the script.
