FWIW I don’t think masked thugs on the street has anything to do with fiscal policy missteps. It’s the softpawing of the extreme right and the tacit acceptance of norm breaches around xenophobia that have emboldened people onto the street. This is why the “legitimate concerns” frame is so dangerous.

I have a lot of experience with bullies, on the receiving end as a kid and as an ASB Officer and this is classic bullying behaviour. Threats, then humiliation, then taunting you that you need to be humiliated even more. ("Say sorry. Now get on your knees. Now cry.") It's monstrous behaviour.
