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.

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." >>

Global Progressive Mobilisation in Barcelona.
Sánchez seeks to rally global left against rise of far right Politico Europe.
(This has not been widely, if at all, reported in the UK, including on the left.)
Barcelona summit of left-wing leaders aims to counter the advances of populist and nationalist movements.
“More than 3,000 participants from over 100 organizations are convening in Barcelona for the launch of the “Global Progressive Mobilization,” a new initiative aimed at strengthening international cooperation among left-leaning parties and activists.
The experiment is about organizing internationally, Stefan Löfven, president of the European Socialist Party (PES), told POLITICO. “Democracy is increasingly under pressure, and progressives are stepping up globally.”
The site: Global Progressive Mobilisation.
“As the world faces critical turmoil, the Global Progressive Mobilisation (GPM) offers a necessary alternative to conservative and far-right forces. This platform aims to make progressive solutions visible and credible, proving they are the key to humanity’s prosperity. By uniting regions and generations, we will defend democracy and advance social justice. That is why we will come together in Barcelona, Spain, on 17–18 April 2026 for the inaugural Global Progressive Mobilisation — to turn conviction into action and ambition into results.”
The S&D Enlarged Bureau delegation will participate in a range of debates alongside more than 3,000 participants from over 100 progressive organisations worldwide. Notable participants include the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez; the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro; the President of Uruguay, Yamandú Orsi; the Vice-President of Ghana, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang; the Leader of the Opposition in India, Rahul Gandhi; the President of the European Council, António Costa; Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa; the President of the Center for American Progress, Neera Tanden; and the Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, who will join online.

Jesse Jackson could do something most politicians can't even imagine.
He got conservative dirt farmers and inner-city families fighting the same enemy: corporate profiteers running roughshod over us all.
That's not (just) oratory. That's vision. And it's exactly what we need right now.

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/

CW: Overload
I am convinced that every human #brain, even the most #neurotypical one, can get #overloaded by too many #details and go into ruthless filtering and #simplification mode. And that is what #society is experiencing right now. With the availability of unprecedented amounts of #information to everybody comes the urge to also process *everything* -> collective #overload #syndrome -> a feast for #populism, #advertising, #propaganda, #scam...

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.

Pierre Poilievre already limits journalists to one question with no follow up so as to control rhe narrative and record clickbait for his fascist “X” followers.
His vitriol for left wing “radical woke” media now has him banning all press but his loyalist partisan groups.
Make no mistake, this is straight out of Trump’s playbook. Pierre will defund the #CBC while boosting right wing #RebelNews and other partisan media as our only “acceptable” Canadian news sources.
#PierrePoilievre has fully embraced the populist division of Canadians as his key winning strategy.
Those of us who continue to question his motives or intentions are soon to be ignored and banished from his palace if he is given power.
Under Poilievre’s Canada, those deemed “woke” will be targeted and discriminated against as part of Conservative policy, with no questions allowed.
This is not my Canada. This is not my Prime Minister.

"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."
