Remember how in Fraggle Rock the Doozers spent all their time building great constructions, only to have the Fraggles come along and eat them?
The great thing was that the Doozers loved this because it meant they got to build more meaning they had to start over – but they were happy to do so because they just loved building, and ‘architecture is meant to be enjoyed‘.
The irony of a fucked economic system is that burning shit down actually creates the productive jobs which bring the sense of pride and dignity it seems these rioters crave.
So whilst it may appear to be the actions of a bunch of teenage rebels, it’s actually a swift and powerful job-creation programme inspired by advanced economic theory.
