10 Í heimildamyndinni Enjoy Poverty (2008) ferðast hollenski listamaðurinn Renzo Martens til
Austur-Kongó þar sem hann meðal annars hvetur fátæka heimamenn til að berjast ekki gegn
fátækt heldur læra frekar að gera hana að vörumerki sínu og hagnast á henni. Hann ræðir við
fulltrúa UNICEF (Barnahjálp Sameinuðu þjóðanna) og spyr hvers vegna vörumerki UNICEF
og UNHCR (Flóttamannaaðstoð S.Þ.) eru á tjöldum sem stofnanirnar dreifa í f lóttamanna-
búðum. Svarið er einfalt: „Sýnileiki“.

20 „Heroes or anarchists? The 1981 Brixton riots are now being hailed by the Left as a heroic
uprising. The truth is rather different“, Mail Online, 16. apríl 2011, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/

into a virtual saturnalia was the impression gained by the rioters that they could enjoy a fiesta
of crime, looting and rioting in the guise of social protest. They felt they had been absolved in
advance. These are precisely the circumstances in which young men riot, and riot again.“

sagði: „The riots weren’t about protest, unemployment or cuts. They weren’t about the future,
about tomorrow and a person’s place in the world. They were about today, about now. They were
about instant gratification. Here is what some of the rioters had to say in the report: ‘It wasn’t
political, it was shopping.’ ‘iPhones! Xboxes! Everything! You can get whatever you want!’“
