we're going through a massive organised crime wave at the moment.

coincidentally we've also been dismantling our social systems since the 90s and put a shitload of immigrants in the same poor neighbourhoods away from everyone else.

i'm sure it's unrelated.

In Australia we created ghettos in the 80s and 90s. It wasn't great.

I'm sure someone will be along in a moment to remind us that these ghettos were just one link in the chain of shit things Europeans did to first Australians.

80's. Like, 1980.

I think that he's saying that the Nordic countries have been dismantling their social systems. 1980 was when it really picked steam in the US. But conservative politicians had been trying to dismantle them even before FDR was dead.

Good point, sorry, just knee-jerk hating on Reagan. :)
