  1. 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.

  2. #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!

  3. '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'

  8. AfD’s historic win splits European opinion.

    Alternative for Germany won 43.8% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, more than double its showing five years ago in the region of 2.1 million people west of Berlin.

    AfD’s landslide victory has drawn celebration from Europe’s populist right and a sharp condemnation from Poland’s prime minister.

    * 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." >>

  11. "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."

    — Frédéric Bastiat, Economic Sophisms, First Series (1845)
