Poverty is often correlated with Obesity. Both in Croydon and the Third World. Pay a visit to a Favela in Latin America if you do not believe me.

The violence is very little to do with Poverty. And a lot to do with Gender. The American Wild West society was very male, and very violent.

Both Viking & Yamnaya invasions were predominantly single unattached young men. Very violent.

Some societies are very poor yet rather lacking in violence...eg the Tasaday.

Juvenile delinquency starts with 'Family Life'.....what lessons need to be re-learned about the kids thrashing our Department Stores ?

There are other factors than these, but the above are pretty big ones.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Oh boy....I think you have a rabbit hole of wonderous delights to travel down.

what you wrote above could have come from the mouth of an Apache/Sioux or Cherokee Indian in 1700.

Rather than victims, the Brits were often the perpetrators.

For certain, very violent countries have many violent people. Afghanistan or Jamaica. And the statistics bear this out.

The question that few seem to ask is this :

''where will all this take us in a decade or two?'

- London like Detroit, Kingston Jamaica, Johannesburg, or Baltimore, Maryland ?
- The forging of a Brave New World, a successful new multicultural society ?....as did the Americans (to the detriment of the Apache)
- other ?

for certain, the genie has been let out of the Lamp, Pandoras box has been opened. 1980's London is never coming back.

It's true that factors that affect all humans see similar responses....correlations between crime and IQ and so on, just as it is on income.

However group differences from genetics are just a reality and the evidence is there in the statistics. It's just not shouted loudly because.....well, we don't live in an era where truth holds sway beyond convenience.

The much promoted idea that it's only culture and has no genetic component (at the group level you understand not the individual) can be found in the reality that the same much higher crime and other types of correlations are found within widely different cultural subsets. For example, Certain groups in America will have much higher crime outcomes than other groups and that will still be the case in South Africa to Brixton.

If you look at crime amongst poor whites it's always lower outside of the main east Asian group and always has been lower compared to other groups....it's not just cultural....and I venture the idea that culture has always been influenced by the genetic anyway.

In other words, saying something is cultural loses its power when the outcomes are still basically the same when looking at many different cultures.

Unfortunately for the left...the honest among them that is....the blank slate was wrong.....and it's caused more damage to societies than anything the racists could have dreamed of.....the road to hell is nearly always paved by good intentions.
