  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.

  10. „Die Ironie an den Beschwichtigungen von Welt, NZZ, Cicero & Co.: Jahrein, jahraus schrillen dort die Alarmglocken, weil Political Correctness, Woke­ness und Ähnliches vermeintlich unsere Freiheit bedrohten.

  11. "It's good to have an enemy," says #George #Birnbaum, one of the godfathers of modern #populism. "Very rarely will you find someone who's loved by everybody."

    A political consultant for 30 years, he helped Benjamin Netanyahu come to power in a surprise victory in Israel in 1996, and Hungary's Viktor Orban in 2010.

    Birnbaum built his reputation as one of "Arthur's kids" - under mentor and late business partner #Arthur #Finkelstein, a brilliant mathematician who re-invented the art of political campaigning in the US, helping Richard Nixon to power in 1972, as well as many other Republican leaders.

    "One should…try to #polarize the #election around that #issue that cuts best in your direction, i.e. #drugs, #crime, #race in New York State…," Finkelstein wrote in a 1970 memo. "When the opponent seizes the polarisation initiative, then you're in trouble."
