  1. 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

  10. “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.

  11. Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

    * Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction

    "The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

    * 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." >>

  12. 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, Minnesota

  13. Czechia election: The spectre of populism returns.

    The Czech Republic could face instability after the upcoming parliamentary election.

    Although the right-wing populist party of ex-PM Andrej Babiš is well ahead in the polls, it is not expected to get a majority.

  15. Most analysts expected #Modi to brush aside #India’s enervated & poorly funded opposition parties, some of which had their #bank accounts frozen & their leaders #jailed by the govt in the run-up to the #election.

    Yet the mood shifted dramatically as early vote counts trickled in Tues morning & indicated that the #BJP might not single-handedly secure the 272 seats needed in the 543-member #LokSabha lower house, as it comfortably did in 2014 & 2019.

  17. A country neighboring Europe, where you'll find signs in front of stores saying "Jews not allowed", and a country, where a member of the ruling AKP is appreciated for publicly revealing, that he's praying for Hitler's soul, topping the antisemitically stinking cake by "adding that the world will find peace when it is cleansed of Jews and that the Holocaust was “unfinished.”", such a country ruled by such an aggressive, racist & imperialistic neo-Ottoman regime, absurdly financially pampered by the Union its leaders are insulting, defaming & inciting violence against, cannot become a member of the European Community for the foreseeable (far away) future.

  18. Has the #covidpandemic strengthened or weakened #populism?

    Professor Lars Rensmann from the University of Passau argues that many populist parties used the pandemic for their electoral gain. But, the succes of that varied across Europe.👇🇪🇺

  21. Landed here for the same reason as most of you. And very happy to see some familiar faces already.

    Expect from me anything related to #farright politics, #populism, #illiberalism, and #Euroscepticism. Mostly academic stuff and commentaries on these topics.

    But I might occasionally indulge in other trivial business. :gnomeHey:
