The far right have adopted the term "far left populism" in another fine example of conservative projection. They refer to versions of democratic socialism being practised by the likes of NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani and possibly UK Prime minister Andy Burnham. Greg Sheridan in The Australian laments that young people, in being attracted to such politics, have forgotten the lessons of Stalin and Mao and the millions of people they killed. He casually conflates communist dictators from a century ago with today's democratic socialists, ignoring the word "democratic" in the descriptor. He presents no evidence that Mamdani is sneaking around at night committing mass murder in NY alleys.
My dictionary defines 'populism' as appealing to the prejudices or interests of ordinary citizens. But in my understanding the word refers to policies that seem appealing on the surface but in practice don't work, from Julius Caesar gifting land to all the plebs, to Brexit, to the immigration, nuclear and coal policies of the LNP and One Nation. They are usually right-wing offerings because the right just want to make the rich richer and the poor poorer so they try to fool enough of the people enough of the time to gain power.
In a similar vein LNP shadow treasurer Tim Wilson today blamed the unaffordable price of first homes on "CFMEU corruption". I'm not sure how Victoria's Big Build problems jack up prices in my local Bunnings or timber yard. I blame Bunnings' price gouging on their successful strategy of becoming a near monopoly by pricing most competition out of the market (my suburb used to have three hardware stores but they have all folded). It seems "lowest prices WERE just the beginning'! But I guess that just makes me a far-left populist. #auspol #Mamdani #populism

When someone inherits a giant swathe of land and says, “my family paid for this land, we weren’t the ones who stole it”, it sounds reasonable. When the people it was stolen from reply, “your family might have paid for the land, but they didn’t pay *us*”, that sounds pretty reasonable too.

Back then, some passing bonk of my friend was a former Israeli soldier. I only met him briefly but he left a lasting impression when he described his period of national service with a single gesture — pointing a finger gun casually at some vague spot in the distance, closing one eye, then pulling the trigger.
The dehumanisation is so easy.

I don’t know what the solution is, but I’m pretty sure we won’t have to dig far to find money.

“The reality of Palestine induces a special form of disavowal, because its implications threaten too much of what the West believes about itself…”

There is Europe, and then there are the former colonies of Europe.
The current global order assumes time is linear, and the genocides and theft of the colonial era are complete.
The cognitive dissonance required to acknowledge what is happening — has been happening, and continues to happen in Palestine, is too great for delicate minds.

This, I suspect, is at the core of populism, and grievance politics.

“The mere assertion of Palestinian existence – not rights or justice, just bare historical fact – registered in the Western ear as an act of aggression against someone else.”

and so people here must be happy to hear Pauline say
“Don’t expect a divisive Welcome to Country from me - this beautiful country belongs to all Australians born here and those who have joined us”

truth is aggression.

———-
back in the 70s, a friend of mine who, I believed, had good values and was not just well educated but intelligent enough to make the education worthwhile, said something in passing one day about Palestine waging war against “her people”

you could have knocked me down with a feather. I had always thought she was a lapsed anglican, or something, but it was during this conversation she told me she had a Jewish grandmother.
That stuff runs deep, I guess. And fair enough, cos them’s the rules the Nazis played by… their own version of the one drop rule.

I think another part of the enormous sympathy the west had for Jewish people generally, was guilt. Forget that today other countries have grown to admire Australia’s policy of “F*** off, we’re full”… there was a time when we grew up wallowing in reliving what our parents and grandparents had gone through.
We learned about the fate in 1939 of the St Louis, a ship full of Jewish refugees turned away by Cuba, the USA and Canada. It spoke for all the many other instances of our own failure to help, and to prevent the holocaust.

We convinced ourselves we knew better now, and would do better.

When my friend, that day, defended the establishment of Israel by referring to the Holocaust, I reminded her that Palestinians hadn’t been the ones at Auschwitz, feeding the ovens.

I’m reminded, in parallel, about Hanson complaining “nobody gave my land to me, I had to pay for my land”

That’s the narrative.

This kind of politics makes it nearly impossible to work across party lines. How do you find a shared purpose with people that just call you trash or who are busy in their spare time breaking the country apart?

If Findlay’s party forms government with this no sense at the hilt we’re in for a rough time.

Imagine them governing in a crisis? Culture wars are boring.

Ich schaue gerade Die Simpsons Staffel 9, Episode 22.

In der Folge legt sich Homer mit den Müllwerkern an und tritt als ziemlich populistischer Kandidat für den Posten des Müllbeseitigungsreferenten an.

Er bewirft seinen sachlich-nüchternen Gegenkandidaten rhetorisch mit Müll und Lügen und macht irre Versprechungen, die er nicht halten kann.

Die Methoden erinnern an Trump und MAGA.

@Twiteryeanot I wonder if there's a small, uninhabited island where we can send people — OK, let's be honest, men — like Farage, Johnson, Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and Orbán. They could take turns overthrowing each-other as President/Dictator.

We could also relocate Rupert Murdoch with Fox News and The Sun to the island, to give them the media adulation they all crave.

Marine Le Pen is campaigning. She thrives in campaigning. Judicial problems are likely to come again in early 2027 but there is only 22% of Yes in a poll (by Cevipof) to the question: "Do you think politicians are honest?". French citizens routinely favour sentenced politicians if popular. So we may expect populism to grow and prosper in France up to the presidential election in May 2027.

Meanwhile the government supports brutalisation and shows that check and balance are a problem: the minister champions a law project to change the current law whereby a police officer who uses his weapon must prove that his or her shooting was necessary and proportionate.

Meanwhile the government makes military ceremonies enter schools: (fr) https://blogs.mediapart.fr/b-girard/blog/070726/patriotisme-obligatoire-l-education-nationale-ouvre-ses-portes-l-extreme-droite

"No serious transparency advocate argues for the government to post the nuclear codes on nukes dot gov. But the transparency maximalist dogma raises public expectations to a level at which they can never be responsibly met. Every omission, however legitimate, becomes a betrayal.

That’s the catch: The public has no way of knowing with any confidence whether an omission is made for legitimate security reasons or instead to conceal something that someone powerful would rather stay concealed. Distrust festers in the gap between plausible justification and calculated cover-up.No serious transparency advocate argues for the government to post the nuclear codes on nukes dot gov. But the transparency maximalist dogma raises public expectations to a level at which they can never be responsibly met. Every omission, however legitimate, becomes a betrayal.

That’s the catch: The public has no way of knowing with any confidence whether an omission is made for legitimate security reasons or instead to conceal something that someone powerful would rather stay concealed. Distrust festers in the gap between plausible justification and calculated cover-up.

The transparency populist is always both prosecutor and gatekeeper. He stands at the podium declaring historic openness while retaining the power to decide what 'historic openness' looks like. He benefits from the spectacle of disclosure without bearing any of the costs of genuine accountability.

IN ADDITION TO ARGUING that transparency strengthens democratic accountability, transparency advocates claim it reduces public distrust. The recent record suggests both claims are wrong. Far from alleviating public suspicion of the government’s alleged concealment of extraterrestrial visitations, the UAP releases have generated new waves of unfalsifiable speculation on social media, functionally immune to reasoned rebuttal. The algorithms optimize for engagement, and the most lurid interpretation wins.

Likewise, the Epstein files were released to raise questions about powerful men and their connections to a convicted sex offender; outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) pushed for the legislation mandating the release with a burn-it-all-down fervor for the truth to come out, no matter how wide the blast radius. But the resulting disclosures have instead unleashed questions primarily about the release itself. Who is being protected now, and by whom? Which names are missing, and why? Who decided?

Sunlight may, as Louis Brandeis said, be the best disinfectant. But transparency maximalism is closer to a floodlight: so bright, so undifferentiated, so blinding that it becomes impossible to see anything clearly at all. The problem is not transparency itself, for accountable, institutionally grounded disclosure is a genuine democratic good. The problem is twofold. Transparency maximalism, heedless of what the public can actually absorb, generates more confusion and suspicion than it can ever resolve. And transparency populism converts that suspicion into ammunition aimed at the institutions accountability depends on. The first is naïve. The second is calculated. Together they form a closed loop: distrust demands ever more disclosure, disclosure breeds ever more distrust, and the populist stands ready to collect."
