  1. The result laid bare a divide between Europeans who see the far right as a threat to democracy, and a growing number who see it as democracy’s savior. The former warn that the far right will dismantle checks and balances, while treating minorities as second-class citizens. The latter see it as a bulwark against an out-of-touch elite that has eroded their national identity and endangered their livelihoods.

  6. The disintegration of liberalism and 'postliberal disillusionment'

    * "That sound you hear is not the world ending – it’s liberalism being monstered liberalism. Liberalism defines almost our entire social and political order in the west."

    "Broad, deep, relentless. And what matters most is the compounding effect: a near-constant sense of crisis in almost every sphere of life."

    “... It is the vehicle for this fury that is directed towards the major parties because of this very long sense of neglect and social economic disempowerment that has become so profound."

    "It turns out most of us no longer believe in progress...When people stop believing in progress, it quickly becomes a crisis for societies like ours. Our political order was built on the promise of expanding wealth and greater control over our lives. It said we could dream big, then pursue those dreams, and that if we didn’t achieve them, maybe our children would."

    "As disillusionment sets in, there is no shortage of culprits. One possibility is to tell a story about capitalism, which generates gaping inequalities and destroys the planet." >>

    * The medicalisation of social problems is the sociological process by which everyday human experiences, behaviors, and societal challenges come to be defined, labeled, and treated as medical conditions or disorders

    * "Post-traumatic embitterment disorder
    is a pathological response to a single adverse life event perceived by the affected individual as a serious insult, humiliation, or injustice."

  11. Liberalism – is not for you

    The Myth of the Middle Class: The so-called "middle class" is a constructed concept that never truly existed. If you work for a boss and earn wages or a salary, you are a worker, a member of the working class, and should take pride in that identity. The term "middle class" was created to isolate more privileged workers, serving the interests of the powerful by dividing the working population.
