Americans are having to hide receiving basic healthcare like vaccines (not to mention abortions.) This sounds like the underground railroad that used to run when slavery was legal to help people escape. Unbelievable. #giftArticle #populism

Pauline Hanson, leader of Australia’s populist One Nation party, lets fly with a whole list of grievances designed to appeal to those of Australia’s cash-strapped and struggling peoples who are not used to thinking terribly deeply about what is good and bad in Australian society.
In particular, what stood out for me was:
1) her attacks on multiculturalism. Here in Melbourne taking a trip around to any shopping centre or marketplace you see people from all over the world, not just Northern European. We benefit tremendously from this, for one thing from the wide range of foods from all over the world that we have accepted as our staple and that makes shopping for takeaways such a delight.
2) Saying that working people can be lazy and are too hard to fire. In particular she attacks childcare and parental leave. This is the only reason why many people are able to work at all. Especially when wages are so low and rents are so high. For example a young nurse can take home between $60,000 and $70,000 per year. Compare this with how much a politician like Pauline gets! Paid and/or subsidised childcare is beyond the reach of many and childcare staff are among the lowest paid.
3) Her nasty and spiteful attack on a member of the press who was just asking a question. She obviously admires Donald Trump and has taken a leaf from his playbook. Disgusting.
And many other things. I would be upset to see Australia go down the populist path like the United States and Great Britain. Read on….

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." >>

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
The government must be the trustee for the little man because no one else will be. The powerful can usually help themselves — and frequently do.
Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1955-10-29), “The Crisis in Agriculture,” Democratic Rally, Duluth, MinnesotaMore about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-adlai-ewin…

I recently read a couple of Elmore Leonard crime novels -- "Riding the Rap" and "Out of Sight".
I don't read that much contemporary fiction, nor do I have a deep background in crime fiction as a genre, so you'll have to make do with the remarks of a relatively ill informed reader.
I can see why Leonard is a both popular and respected writer. He knows how to structure a gripping narrative, and his dialogue rings true.
On a more critical note, I can imagine these two novels providing future students of US culture with material for a study of the anxieties and aspirations of middle class white men in an America seemingly riven with disorder.
In "Riding the Rap", Leonard's background as a writer of westerns comes across; the US marshal protagonist brings order to a lawless frontier by acting on his own initiative rather than a mere agent of a federal bureaucracy. Here though, the frontier is no longer in the west, but in Florida, and the threatening nonwhite others are no longer American Indians but a Puerto Rican hitman and a Black Bahamian immigrant who, as part of his assimilation to Black America, adopted an Islamic name.
Leonard's depiction of racial attitudes intersects with his representation of socioeconomic class distinctions. The two nonwhite criminals act for a while as henchmen to a drink and drug addled wealthy white playboy, whose kidnapping plan drives the plot forward. His exploitation of his senile mother's wealth and the revelation of her ugly racist attitudes point to the class and status tensions that exist between a decadent white upper class and the Appalachian coalmining heritage of the US marshal protagonist.
These racial and white populist themes recur in "Out of Sight", where middle aged, middle class, white bank robbers are contrasted with African American home invaders, the latter being characterized by their cruelty, treachery, idleness, lust, and greed.
In both novels the middle aged male protagonist beds a much younger female character; some readers might find these glimpses of the fantasy life of ageing men unintentionally ludicrous.
I think I'll reserve final judgment on Leonard until I've read another of his books. "Swag" is supposed to be good, but neither my local second bookstore nor my libraries have it available at the moment, and I don't want to pay full price for it.

Why rejoice in the misfortune of others
One way to feel my social status improving is if someone else lowers theirs. And so, when I see someone mess up in ways that cause them to lose face, and thus lose social status, I can feel a burst of satisfaction as my own status is raised, at no cost to me.

The infamous "River of Blood" speech refuted the proposed 1968 amendments to the Race Relations Act (1965), the first UK law to criminalise racial discrimination, which would make it illegal to refuse housing or jobs on the basis of the applicants' ethnic origins.
Enoch saw the changes as an infringement on the personal freedoms of "original English people".

Most analysts expected #Modi to brush aside #India’s enervated & poorly funded opposition parties, some of which had their #bank accounts frozen & their leaders #jailed by the govt in the run-up to the #election.
Yet the mood shifted dramatically as early vote counts trickled in Tues morning & indicated that the #BJP might not single-handedly secure the 272 seats needed in the 543-member #LokSabha lower house, as it comfortably did in 2014 & 2019. -

"We must confess that our adversaries have a marked advantage over us in the discussion. In very few words they can announce a half-truth; and in order to demonstrate that it is incomplete, we are obliged to have recourse to long and dry dissertations."

A country neighboring Europe, where you'll find signs in front of stores saying "Jews not allowed", and a country, where a member of the ruling AKP is appreciated for publicly revealing, that he's praying for Hitler's soul, topping the antisemitically stinking cake by "adding that the world will find peace when it is cleansed of Jews and that the Holocaust was “unfinished.”", such a country ruled by such an aggressive, racist & imperialistic neo-Ottoman regime, absurdly financially pampered by the Union its leaders are insulting, defaming & inciting violence against, cannot become a member of the European Community for the foreseeable (far away) future.
