  2. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

    * 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." >>

  4. ‘The Most Radical Thing About Master of None’s Islam Episode Is That It Isn’t About Religion’: slate.com/culture/2017/05/mast. slate.com/culture/2017/05/mast ‘What’s the Monarchy for?’ bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m00 Religions? 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! Popular monarchs by consent, the great absurdity: psychopathic narcissists with nuclear codes! #Populism ? #SemiticPeople #MuslimFear #JewishFear #ChristianFear #ReligiousHateAndFear #religious ?#ReligiousDeathCults #HateAndFear #NewKindsOfMonarchy #EarthFirst #ApocalypticBlackmail #HydraUnbound #CelebrityDeathCults #StupidMobs #EmpireOfMonarchs #PhilosopherKings #Oligarchs #Plutocrats #FreedomFrom #TheGreatAbsurdity #TheFederation #RepublicsSovereignty

  5. Lauri Snellman kirjoitti Etiikka.fi:ssä turvallisuusvaltiosta eli sekurokratiasta uutena tyrannian muotona, joka on ominainen kriisiytyneelle globaalille verkostoyhteiskunnalle, etiikka.fi/turvallisuusvaltio-

    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, etiikka.fi/onko-turvallisuus-s
