Sooooo, are we still sticking to the “student protest” thing or no? Can we admit that unfettered, unchecked, open border immigration is suicide and that countries not only can but should limit access to their countries and citizens? And they can and should remove the invaders as expeditiously as possible? We are all on the same page now right.

there will be some who will still see these as basically peaceful and place the blame on the governments for lack of support, I.e., benefits, for the people.

This mental disorder manifests itself the same across the globe. Complete removal and denial from reality, zero accountability, zero remorse, and virtue signaling. These idiots are having a Zumba class while their country is burning to the ground.

This has happened over and over in history. Libs are screaming for precisely what has destroyed empires before them. Almost makes you wonder if that’s what they really want. The entire world to become the third world.

Bwah, do you know why they're rioting in Italy, Portugal and other European nations? Because the cost of gas, diesel and heating oil due to the Iran war has pushed them over the edge. Do you know why those costs have soared? That's right, because of DJT, who is now a worldwide menace.

The skyrocketing cost of living driven by the energy crisis is a primary reason for the violent riots in Milan.

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, massive anti-government marches degenerated into severe civil unrest across central Milan, specifically targeting the Piazza del Duomo and the luxury Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade. What began as a peaceful demonstration quickly turned chaotic as masked rioters clashed with riot police, looted high-end boutiques, vandalized property, and set fire to street barricades

  • The Squeezing Cost of Living: Driven largely by the recent fuel and energy inflation connected to the conflict, everyday expenses have become unbearable for citizens. Combined with stagnant wages, the sudden spikes in gas and utility bills have pushed public frustration to a boiling point. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Anti-War Sentiments: The protests were explicitly organized as marches "against wars and rising living costs". Demonstrators have voiced heavy opposition to the ongoing geopolitical conflicts—including carrying Palestinian symbols and headscarves—and are demanding an end to the wars they blame for their economic pain. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The war involving Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have driven up fuel and energy prices in Italy
  • Gasoline and Diesel Increases: Following the onset of the conflict, pump prices across Europe and Italy surged as Brent crude oil prices spiked above $100 per barrel. Gasoline in Italy increased by roughly 4.8% to 6%, while diesel prices faced a much sharper climb, jumping around 16% to 19.4% (with diesel topping €2.03 per liter at various points).
  • Electricity and Natural Gas: Because natural gas powers around 40% of Italy's electricity generation, wholesale electricity and natural gas costs climbed significantly (with average wholesale electricity prices up at least 12% in 2026).

The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran is a primary driver of economic, political, and strategic unrest across Europe. The conflict has triggered direct military vulnerabilities, deep political polarization, and widespread economic anxiety across the continent.

Analysis from major foreign policy institutions outlines several key ways the war is causing instability in Europe:

Economic and Energy Shocks
  • Rising Inflation: The Iranian blockade of the critical Strait of Hormuz shipping lane has severely disrupted global maritime trade. [1]
  • Surging Energy Costs: Brent crude and European gas prices spiked dramatically following the initial strikes. This energy crisis is inflicting steep costs on European economies, triggering inflation, and threatening to stunt economic growth. [1, 2, 3]
  • Russian Financial Gains: Paradoxically, the inflated oil prices have boosted Russia's export revenues, strengthening Moscow's war machine against Ukraine while squeezing European budgets https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-can-europe-shape-the-iran-wars-aftermath/

so, just so I understand, the cost of fuel Is the reason I can go out and burn down century old buildings and ransack stores - got to have my Luis Vuiton to heat my house and drive my car

I thought the riots were because they don't have books for school.

Seems as if the reasons might depend on which political agenda is being pushed

EDIT: it wasn't that long ago people were marching and rioting because fossil fuels were destroying the planet. These people need to get their reasons straight

you know dpic, just because someone comes up with an idea like this does not make it true.

haven't there been similar riots in Europe before, were gas prices higher then?

F’ck you idiot. They’ve allowed 3rd worlders to invade their countries, given them millions on handouts….& now these thugs pay them back by using ANY excuse(high costs, school funding, etc) to destroy these countries & take power.

Anyone with a brain can see the destruction being done in these countries by liberal immigration policies….but unfortunately that doesn’t include you & most other brainwashed libtards.

Read! You're not addressing anything I said and I didn't dispute the OTHER causes! And now we know because of your delirious level of tunnel vision, you'll bombard this thread with tw.ats from you sh,it algorithm for the next three days and tagging me constantly because of things I agree with you about.

Energy?

When the state subsidizes demand without freeing supply, prices rise. Every time. Guaranteed student loans, and universities raise tuition. Housing aid plus blocked building permits, and rents skyrocket. Administered healthcare, and bureaucracy eats the budget before it ever reaches the patient.

This is the result of state run programs. 61% of their tax revenue is going to entitlements. Schools are public. Universities are public. Culture runs on grants. Film goes through funding committees. Public broadcasting shapes the narratives. The people handing down the interpretive framework are, overwhelmingly, paid by the very system that creates the problem.

Do you really think that system is going to name itself as the culprit?
