If someone here is familiar with the home-squatting scandals that happen nowadays in Europe (Denmark and Belgium), I found out that there is an entire network of terrorists around it.

For the unfamiliar ones: In Denmark half a year ago, and a month ago in Leuven (Belgium) riots took place. Serious riots. Reason: junkies and homeless chased off property.
There was a derelict house, that no one cared about. It served as an unofficial home for all kinds of people. Homeless lived there, and young people hung out there, smoking pot and having Woodstock-like orgies.
Then some rich capitalist bastard came and bought the property. As you might have expected, the people immediately started talking about capitalist pigs, unfairness and that the house should be left alone. Rather big riots took place. Of course, the houses were bought and as in the Leuven case, transformed into a supermarket.
I was at a hip-hop party last week with some people I knew. They have leftist tendencies but are ok if you do not mention that. I met some more people over there, talked with them about the riots. Quickly I realized that there IS an anarchist network in Western Europe. I was told stories about unfairness, the rich exploiting the poor, the System™ and the New World Order™. Apparently they are people who believe in terrorism to bring down the System™.

One thing does not fit in my mind entirely. They talk about unfairness, but the majority of them is just lazy. They drop school, do not want to contribute and often live on welfare.
What you make is precisely what you get.
