I agree with the concern on slop, but #theVerge can’t resist sloppily politicizing everything. Somehow it labels nostalgic AI slop as “#neocon.” #Populist, sure, but not neocon. It’s almost antithetical to #NeoConservatism, which is why it is the populists who like sharing it. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/825498/openai-sora-video-slop-nostalgia-mister-rogers

#Stegner #spd sagt gerade im #moma: #Kennedy habe sich bei der #kubakrise mit #Russland verständigt und nicht den #dritterWeltkrieg gestartet.
Was immer #JFK gemacht hat: mit #Russland hatte er nicht zu tun, sondern mit der #UdSSR #Sowjetunion. Die UdSSR wurde nicht von einem #Populist wie #Putin geführt, sondern von diktatorischen #Realpolitiker

#Trump, #Musk, #Putin, #Netanjahu, #Erdoğan, #Orban, #LePenn, and #Kickl are #populist #fascists. There, I said it publicly.
Many more western politicians have clear fascist, illiberal tendencies, including previous #FPÖVP chancellors and current governors (Austrian #federalism does not work any more and needs to be severely limited to get back to a functioning government).
[https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000021253/was-kickl-als-volkskanzler-bedeuten-wuerde is a good summary of some reasonable criteria for spotting #fascism, and https://www.diepresse.com/19301692/haben-wir-es-den-faschisten-zu-leicht-gemacht gives more insight into the Austrian variant. https://www.aaup.org/news/professors-are-not-enemy-fascists-are%C2%A0 gives links to the current US government fight against academia.]
The result of this toot is probably that I _really_ shouldn't be traveling to the #US, #Israel, or #Turkey with their current governments. Luckily, I still dare write such statements publicly in Austria and the wider EU. If I really have to get into political trouble, then let it be because I denounce fascism and oppose the abuse of technology to build surveillance states driven by fear. I will not fight with violence, but I can and will fight it with words.

Fearing #populist movements like the #culturalRevolution in #China or #cambodia’s #killingField’s where the educated population that survived was forcibly relocated to work in ag
Comparing that to #trump / #maga #fascism where the #trueBelievers are mostly uneducated rural: 70% of the nations GDP generated by #biden voters
Their revenge that wishes harm to those who have been successful
Maybe we should prepare this time to win the #classWarfare?

Abstract:
This article argues that in the context of a developing #democracy, the rise of #religiously oriented parties should be viewed contextually as part of an ongoing process of #democratic negotiation and consolidation.

On a sweltering evening in the thumb pad of Michigan’s mitten, a self-described prophet promised 700 Christians under a crisp white tent that they were about to #cheat #death.
They would do this by winning the swing state for Donald Trump.The reasoning was simple:
Each of the Christians assembled would soon feel a call to become a #poll #watcher or to knock on doors or to organize their church
—to take part in some act that would aid the Republican presidential candidate.⭐️And that act would keep them safe, the prophet said, because God would not call them home before they had completed the task He had given them.
🔥“The greatest argument you have with death is an unfulfilled assignment,” the man, #Lance #Wallnau, told the crowdThis was the third stop of the “#Courage #Tour,”
a traveling worship spectacle passing through key battleground states ahead of the upcoming presidential election.Organized by Wallnau, a sixtysomething Texas-based evangelical with a salesman’s persona,
the three-day event was a marriage of the religious and the political,
a swirl of prophecies and PowerPoints and speaking in tongues.It was a call to arms, a campaign strategy session, and
—above all
—an honest-to-God old-fashioned Pentecostal tent revival.It was also a showcase of the power of a rapidly growing, militant right-wing movement in American Christianity.
Wallnau is a major leader in a coalition of Christians who believe that Trump is prophesied to play a critical role in the nation’s spiritual reformation
—that the former president is destined to be a catalyst for the next Great Awakening, even.These Christians see Trump as a modern-day Cyrus the Great,
the powerful empire builder and nonbeliever who is credited in the Old Testament with returning the Jews to the Holy Land.They believe that under Trump’s protection, American Christians will rise up,
defeat their #demonic #enemies,
and take their rightful place of power in the country.This belief in a Trump prophecy has only grown stronger among the faithful since the former president survived an #assassination attempt in July.
It is so strong, in fact, that anything that could stand in Trump’s way
—democratic or otherwise
—is perceived as a force of #evil that must be battled on a spiritual plane.This has already played out once:
After Trump lost the 2020 election, Wallnau held nearly daily rants about the #stolen #election on Facebook Live;he decreed in one online prayer call that 💥God would overturn the election results.
He spoke at a major rally for Christian election deniers in Washington on Dec. 12 of that year,
warning that there was “a backlash coming”
and announcing that it would be the “beginning of a #Christian #populist #uprising.”He and other right-wing Christian leaders circled the Capitol while blowing #shofars and praying for the election to be overturned,
drawing clear parallels to the biblical story from the Book of Joshua in which the Israelite army marches around the city of Jericho,
blowing horns until its walls crumble and the Israelites conquer the city and #slaughter its inhabitants.The event, which preceded a night of #political #violence in the nation’s capital, drew thousands of attendees in what was widely seen as a precursor to the Jan. 6 riot.
