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.

* 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…

Trump: Neither unique nor irreplaceable - #GwynneDyer
"what if Saturday’s bullet had hit #Trump abt 2 fingers’ width to the right & blown his brains out? Half the #US #population wld be enraged & the other half wld be #secretly relieved, but how much wld really be changed?🫨 The #Republican Party wld still be much farther to the right than it was 10 years ago, & it’s sheer #nonsense to believe tt Trump was the sole cause for that slide into #crude #nationalism & #populism"

Holland, see on mingi igav maa, kus on tulbid, puukingad ja tuuleveskid, eks? Noh, võib-olla. Küll oli aga viimaste provintsivalimiste tulemuseks BoerburgerBeweging ehk lühendatult BBB ehk Farmer-Kodanike Partei võit, mis tähendab, et nad võivad ka senatisse saada. Veel hiljuti marginaalne partei võib hakata riigi suunda muutnud. Milline on aga BBB agenda?
Täpsemalt:
"Hollandi valitsus kavatseb 2030. aastaks kärpida mürgiste heitmete, eelkõige nitraatide ja muu põllumajandusega seotu kogust poole võrra. Muu hulgas tähendaks see ilmselt ka Hollandi kuulsate kariloomade arvu vähendamist. Põldurid ja loomakasvatajad nägid selles plaanis BBB ärgitusel ja ka ilma selleta linnastunud eliidi otsest rünnakut maainimeste elatusvahendite vastu.
Protesti märgiks tulid tänavaile traktorite kolonnid, laotati asfaldile sõnnikut ja muud hea-paremat ning lõpuks hääletati BBB poolt. See erakond nimelt astus otseselt valitsuse kavade vastu. Ehk teisisõnu oli populistlikuks tituleeritud poliitiline jõud leidnud hoova, millega valijad enese poole kallutada.
Kaugemalt vaatajad kaldusid aga kohe järeldama, et populismi tõusul Euroopas on maha pandud järjekordne teetähis… Seda eriti Euroopa Liidu keskkonnakavade kontekstis. Eks meil Eestiski ole plaan panna riik ja rahvas suurt osa eluasemeid soojustama juba vastuseisu tekitanud. Jääb vaid oodata, kuidas see vastuseis erakonniti jaotub ja kuhu see kanaliseeritakse."

And that poison ( #populism ) will only be removed by a massive defeat of the #kipperTories & rejection of simplistic nonsense like that espoused by #truss #johnson and #sunak
Adopting a #simplistic opposition to them will merely involve an opposing #populism - there are no easy answers & people should stop grasping for them..... we in the #uk will be on a long hard road back to sanity for a while yet
