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.

Americans are having to hide receiving basic healthcare like vaccines (not to mention abortions.) This sounds like the underground railroad that used to run when slavery was legal to help people escape. Unbelievable. #giftArticle #populism

“The new supporters flocking to One Nation are not so much attracted to the policies but the emotion – and especially the chance to punish the major parties for their inaction in the past few decades, but particularly the past five or so years.
Regular readers of this column will be familiar with the warnings that Labor’s continual march to the right vacated by the Liberals (who have gone further right) will leave voters who have hoped for more disillusioned and angry.”
#AmyRemeikis Truth to Power once again. Nothing Amy talks about shocks me or anyone else having a second look at our current curcumstances, but she bring clarity to what I think is the public mood of the day. We’re not just angry about our major political parties’ drift to the right and lack of gumption, we’re also disheartened that we’re in ‘more of the same’ circumstances, nothing is moving forward. Successive govts have been about as progressive as an extinct dodo. Political change is all just a hopeless shift to the same #neoliberal nonsense that keeps us all in the same quagmire, up to our necks in the swamp with seemingly no way out of it.
Major parties, PHON and IND (I’m of two mind about the Greens — wishful thinking?) are political minnows content to make ripples in puddles when what we really need is a tsunami in the lake.

"...A world of great powers grabbing whatever they need to survive a changing climate from smaller ones – is essentially a new age of empire, except this time with the formerly colonised US and China waxing as former imperial powers such as Britain wane. "

* 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." >>

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."

Mutta suomalainen erillismedia se ei vaan osaa vetää yhtäläisyysmerkkejä persujen ja muiden välille...

The only good thing Andrew Sheer did was beat Bernier. Not because Sheer was better, oh god no, rather because it caused Bernier to create the PPC and potentially split the right. Today, I cheer for Bernier if only to ensure neither party of right wing hatemongers has a chance at actual Federal Power.
