Arsonists are torching luxury cars in Germany. I see no such disgusting incidents in China and Singapore, countries with no welfare. GINI coefficient doesn't matter now, does it?
Germany is burning. Didn't lefties tell us welfare would prevent this?

OPs argument is stupid beyond imagination. European states that have a generous welfare system do much better in terms of crime than countries without one. Just compare any random crime statistic from a EU state to that of the USA. China and Singapore are harder to compare, because you don't get reliable numbers from there (but judging from the number of people executed in China, they must have a lot of criminals there, right?).

Disagree. Chinese are greedy. They do everything for money. Difference to Europe is that China actually enforces laws and has appropriate punishment.
China and Singapore both have extraordinarily low crime rates. But that has more to do with the fact that people in these countries generally don't find taking money from other people's pockets an acceptable means of living.

Of course the European welfare states have failed. No one with any actual experience living in the cities, and who doesn't have his head up his ass, could deny that. The violence, which is widespread - much more so than in the US, where it's concentrated in certain areas - is firstly a consequence of the sense of entitlement and secondly a legal system that routinely excuses perpetrators. Those kids literally believe that they're morally justified.
