  6. #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!

  9. The planet heats up - fossil fuel pollution has made extreme weather more violent.

    * “The only effective response is climate action equal to the crisis – ending the addiction to fossil fuels, accelerating the shift to renewables, protecting the most vulnerable, and delivering early-warning systems for all.” Guterres >>

    * Arthur Snell new book, Elemental, examines how a climate crisis threatens the planet’s capacity to sustain life

    "...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. "

  11. Sheeesh! Merz: "Germany shall function again"

    This is as stupidly populist as Trump's f-ing "Make America Great Again"

  12. New research on #AlternativeMedia and #Populism: With Ruben Bach and João Areal (@unimannheim), I studied the impact of alternative news consumption on political views during the 2021 German federal election campaign. We find only limited evidence for attitudinal change caused by alt news use, but a stable tendency towards the populist radical right among its users.

  13. I don't get how #Finland can ignore that key positions in the cabinet are held by explicit racists and sexists - and how little backlash is palpable from #Europe or the international community. Extreme right #populism is being normalized in a big way as we speak... #Purra #junnila #hallaaho #Rydman

  14. Here comes my short #introduction as a Mastodon newbie: I'm a researcher at University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany (soon #RPTU) and interested in #polcomm, #viscomm, politics & #gender, and #populism. I'm also on a mission to watch every cute dog video there is.
