  1. To understand how the political monster is born and the process of eroding of democracy is to witness the subsequent skill of masquerade performed by any political party which vehemently, to ride free on the last three seats of a train which is heading to a destructive world, for vanity or for folly.

  6. "The far right does not emerge outside mainstream political culture. Its nationalism, authoritarianism and populism draw on ideas with deep roots in Australian life."

  7. Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

    * Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction

    "The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

    * The role of loss within society
    Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

    "Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

    "Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

  9. "Transgression and disruption as aesthetic ideology, from Marinetti to experimental art, counterculture, neoliberalism, and Trump" is an article originally written in Dutch by me and Nienke Terpsma. It was commissioned for, and published in, the new issue (2/2005) of the art magazine Metropolis M which is covering the 60th anniversary of the Dutch Provo movement.

    The text reflects on how futurism, accelerationism, and chaos aesthetics have become part of neoliberal, right-wing libertarian, and contemporary fascist politics, but how seeming antidotes like community and care can also be hijacked.

    We've made a slightly expanded and revised English version of the text available here:

  10. Recently stumbled upon a thought that resonated a lot with me: we think that #democracy is something inherently good, but in practice, it’s only as good as the #education quality in your #society

    And really, #usa has such enormous financial requirements for quality education that we should not be surprised that #populism and #demagogy make their way into the highest tiers of power.

    Not to mention how many educated people who live there are not citizens

  11. #Populism #Demagogy #Neoliberalism #Propaganda #Ideology #History: "So how does the current batch of populists succeed? I think they are responding to a crisis caused by a different force: 45 years of neoliberalism.

    Neoliberalism simultaneously promises the world and snatches it away. It tells us that if you work hard enough, you too can be an alpha. But it also creates the conditions which ensure that, no matter how hard you work, you are likely to remain subordinate and exploited. It has enabled the formation of a new rentier class, that owns the essential assets and ruthlessly exploits younger and poorer people. Young men step into a world of promises – to find all the golden doors are locked, and someone else has the key.

    It is in the vast gap between the promises of neoliberalism and their fulfilment that frustration, humiliation and a desire for vengeance grow: the same emotions that followed military defeat or state collapse in Mayer’s time. These impulses are then exploited by conflict entrepreneurs. Today, some of these entrepreneurs stand for office; others, using opportunities that weren’t available in previous eras, monetise the anger, making a fortune through their social media outlets.

    Understanding the tradition these demagogues follow, which long predates the rise of fascism in the 20th century, should help us to develop a more effective response to them."

  12. Transgression is an essential concept for understanding many of today's political dynamics.

    POPULISM AS A TRANSGRESSIVE STYLE by Théo Aiolfi (2022).

    "As a consequence of its performative turn, the critical literature on populism has dedicated increasing attention to its sociocultural and stylistic features. Among the most prominent concepts underpinning this approach is the notion that populism relies on the “flaunting of the low” or the use of “bad manners.” This article engages in an extensive discussion of the way this concept is used in the literature and showcases its main limitations. In replacement, I then suggest the alternative concept of transgression, understood as the violation of a norm, which has the substantial advantages of being more flexible and versatile as well as less reliant on a normative binary".

  13. #Keskusta n epätoivon syvenemistä sekä sen myötä koko ajan kasvavaa #populismi n määrää kuvastaa ehkä eniten se, että nyt #kepu on jo onnistunut suututtamaan jopa #RKP:n ja Anna- Maja #Henriksson in - suomalaisen nykypolitiikan ehkä suurimman diplomaatin.

    Ministeri #Kurvinen saanut Henrikssonin käyttämään julkisesti sanoja kuten strunt prat ja martyr.

    Sånt hör man inte från hennes mun, säger jag bara!

  14. Here comes my short #introduction as a Mastodon newbie: I'm a researcher at University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany (soon #RPTU) and interested in #polcomm, #viscomm, politics & #gender, and #populism. I'm also on a mission to watch every cute dog video there is.
