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.

#MissKittyPolitics If the #EU doesn't want #Russia to roll, they need to help #Ukraine slam the door. Hey #Merz, go all in and get your #Populism on by decrying #AfD's intrusion into protecting the #Homeland while you start sending money, bombs, and lawyers to #Kyiv. It will save your ass!

'worldview, including beliefs and opinions, starts to form during childhood as you’re socialized within a particular cultural context. It gets reinforced over time by the social groups you keep, the media you consume, even how your brain functions...For many people, a challenge to their worldview feels like an attack on their personal identity and can cause them to harden their position. Here’s some of the research that explains why it’s natural to resist changing your mind – and how you can get better at making these shifts'

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…

Can monarchs and or governments protect the people from the stupidity and projected popularity of celebrity death cults? Not if their rights depend on driving the finance of ecocide. Defenders of Empire’s faith, masters of none!

We all knew it, but here is more evidence to back it up with.
Of course they won't listen, they don't give a fuck about anyone else but themselves and their immediate family.
They tell themselves they are good people doing what is necessary, but it is a lie. -

Lauri Snellman kirjoitti Etiikka.fi:ssä turvallisuusvaltiosta eli sekurokratiasta uutena tyrannian muotona, joka on ominainen kriisiytyneelle globaalille verkostoyhteiskunnalle, https://etiikka.fi/turvallisuusvaltio-aikamme-tyrannia/
Turvallisuusvaltio on totalitarismin perillinen, joka oikeuttaa itsensä populismilla ja pitää oikeusvaltiota ja yhtäläisiä ihmisoikeuksia sinällään turvallisuusuhkana. Sen oligarkiaverkostot nojaavat rahan ja vallan keskittämiseen, ja oikeutus haetaan "todellisen kansan" turvaamisesta Noita Toisia vastaan. Yhteiskunta ajautuu jatkuvaan poikkeustilaan, ja "vallan vastavoimat, kuten oppositio, tiede- ja kulttuuri-instituutiot, vapaat markkinat, riippumaton työväenliike ja ylikansalliset kansalaisliikkeet" leimataan epäkansalliseksi eliitiksi.
Aikaisemmassa kirjoituksessaan Snellman pohti turvallisuutta yhteiskunnallisena paheena, https://etiikka.fi/onko-turvallisuus-sittenkin-yhteiskunnallinen-pahe/

Well that was so spot on and what I have been witnessing in the last 25 years…
“Astrophysicist and author Carl Sagan managed to predict a lot of the things the challenges America faces in the year 2021 all the way back in 1995 when he was writing a book published just before his death in 1996.”
MSNBC's Brian Williams shares the details.

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. -

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.
