@IИVДLID CЯΞДΓIФИ , are you right wing?
like a MAGA right winger?
no
Lol
Everyone is MAGA
That’s the beauty of populism, it’s whatever you want it to be
<:NOBULLSHT:432346779082555393>
Conservatism > populism
Populism can be conservatism
Populism is more rooted in the left really
well at least originally
Populism is a state, not an ideology really
It’s a distrust of the status quo and the established classes
I know that
and that's been apart of the left's messaging for A LONG TIME
It’s part of anyone that’s not in the establishment lol
Trump just somehow managed to make it work for him
Where you want the change to go and where the establishment is decides if you’re right or left
Trump isn’t a phenomenon
Which is why I said it's been apart of the left's messaging for decades
Trump only seized on it and perfected it to his advantage to win the rust belt states
I guess
It’s not a leftist thing
but stopping the Establishment and the top 1% of the ruling class has been with the left forever
sure populism can be right or left, but the fact remains it's originated from the left
The only argument you could make is that if is slightly more common on the left because the natural state of the status quo is centre right
Populism predates Marxism, capitalism, and certainly predates your definition of the establishment as the “1%”
I said establishment and 1%, didn't make them one and the same
I mean in any case it’s a very narrow definition
Well its essentially appealing to the middle class voters who've been left out by the system and the so called establishment
Establishments can be right or left, and don’t necessarily need to be real, they can be perceived
I know that
So then you get why populism can never be a leftist thing
E
The height of comedy
E? Nooo
lol
at least alex isn't gonna go down without a fight against big tech
