What part of 'Populism is a-ideological' did not make sense to you?
yet you can say "That isn't populism in and of itself." ?
My point is that if mass/illegal migration wasn't actually a problem, but a portion of the voting population still saw it as one, populists would still appeal to it, regardless of the validity of the complaints being leveled.
That's why the topic isn't directly connected to populism, specifically because populism isn't an ideological category.
A populist will appeal to -anything- a significant portion of the voting population considers important, regardless of its actual importance.
It's also very popular for the "elite" to preach about climate change, and then continue to eat meat, take planes, private ones even. And then sit there an advocate for severe environmental regulations that lead to production being done in places where there is near zero concern for the environment. But to you this skepticism is just a quest for power.
No, I entirely agree that said 'elite' should take the lead then.
they won't. how many private jets were used to coordinate the "Paris Climate accord"?
thousands or something?
Rules for ye but not for me is the reason you have populism
And I never said that skepticism in and of itself was a quest for power. I said that outright denial because it will gain you votes is a quest for power.
I would apply my cynicism to the specific individual in question rather than anything that fits the description of populist, as many different people are given this label
Oh certainly, the very concept of labeling people according to their apparent political preferences is basically not possible nowadays.
Trump for example is maybe the most popular "populist" and despite what some people like to say it is very hard for me to imgagine that his political motives are self-serving. I've never heard anything to convince me of that that didn't resort to deluded armchair psychology or conspiracy theories.
Trump is the best example for why there's exceptions to rules, for as far as you can call it a rule.
But Trump is defnitely the exception.
y'all should give this a look, great thread.
Lotta interesting takes from Venezuelans, i particularly like the response with 'markxplaining' at the end. I think i'm gonna steal that.
His brother has the same weird face. It's just genetics.
it's not just that, he keeps playing with his nose. but it could just be allergies or something
Most of the time when people say "violence is necessary," it isn't. They just really want to be violent.
When we get to a point where we'd much rather punch each other instead of talk to each other we're screwed. We listlessly march towards that threshold daily.
Violence begets violence. Once you jump off of that cliff there is no going back until everyone's mutual suffering overtakes everyone's mutual hatred for one another.
Think twice before you decide to employ violence, in fact, even thinking once should be enough.
President Trump advocates a tariff free, barrier free, and subsidy free international trade policy, according to the Wharton school of economics.
