#Gena and #FakeNews on toxic social media platforms attempting (and pehaps succeding) in driving the narrative to suit her inflated ego and misguided social conscience. Is the electorate gullible enough? Naive enough? Scary questions if you ask me.

We need schools to teach children to actively seek out complexity. When anyone ever offers simple solutions (even left leaning populists), our instinct should be to add complexity to it. We live in an incredibly complicated and intertwined world and few things are purely bad, but many things have downsides which need to be discussed and regulated. Let's cultivate complexity!

The planet heats up - fossil fuel pollution has made extreme weather more violent.
* “The only effective response is climate action equal to the crisis – ending the addiction to fossil fuels, accelerating the shift to renewables, protecting the most vulnerable, and delivering early-warning systems for all.” Guterres >>

"...A world of great powers grabbing whatever they need to survive a changing climate from smaller ones – is essentially a new age of empire, except this time with the formerly colonised US and China waxing as former imperial powers such as Britain wane. "

Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.
* Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction

* 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." >>

FROM ROBERT TO ADAM: ON TWO FORMS OF PARADISE
There is no doubt – the social paradise prepared for the citizens of the Slovak Republic by Robert Fico's fourth government, and presumably hoped for by the voters of the current coalition, is within reach.

"Over the past two decades, the self-avowed libertarian’s melding of genetic pronouncements with bootstrapping family-values talk has served as the bridge spanning divergent factions of the racialist right, from its IQ-obsessed, DEI-hating Silicon Valley wing to its white nationalist fringes.
Far from rejecting the dynamic of market competition, this new formation deepens it. From the United States and Britain to Hungary and Argentina, so-called populists on the right have not rejected global capitalism as such. Rather, they have rejected the 1990s model of governing global capitalism that revolved around large multilateral trade agreements—opting instead for unilateral action, as in Trump’s use of tariffs as leverage to open markets for U.S. investors and U.S. products and services. In general, the leaders of this right offer few plans to rein in finance, re-industrialize, or restore a Golden Age of job security. On the contrary, their calls to privatize, deregulate, and slash taxes come straight from the playbook shared by the world’s leaders for the past thirty years.
In other words, this new right does not really reject globalism but advances a new strain of it—one that accepts an international division of labor while tightening controls on certain kinds of migration. It assigns intelligence averages to countries in a way that collectivizes and renders innate the concept of “human capital.” It appeals to values and traditions that cannot be captured statistically, shading into a language of national essences and national character. The fix it finds in race, culture, and nation is but the most recent iteration of a pro-market philosophy based not on the idea that we are all the same but that we are in a fundamental, and perhaps permanent way, different."
