Not grassroots resistance. It’s marketing & the product is manufactured outrage

How Globalists Are Propping Up #Trump & #Reform UK

#Populist #insurgencies; grandest ironies of our time

Party that rails against globalism, foreign interference, Reform UK, amplified & supported by media outlets that are owned, controlled, or heavily influenced by #foreign capital

Not theoretical; it's structural, financial, deliberate.

Dorset Eye · How Globalists Are Propping Up Donald Trump And Reform UK - Dorset EyeIn the era of populist insurgencies, it is one of the grandest ironies of our time: a party that rails against globalism and foreign interference, Reform UK, is being amplified and supported by media outlets that are themselves owned, controlled, or heavily influenced by globalist interests and foreign capital. The contradiction is not simply theoretical; […]

#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).

[derstandard.at/story/300000002 is a good summary of some reasonable criteria for spotting #fascism, and diepresse.com/19301692/haben-w gives more insight into the Austrian variant. aaup.org/news/professors-are-n 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.

“We need more #social budgets than ever, more social #rights, more social #welfare, more #PublicHousing policy, more – and better – #employment. The other approach is to fall into the dialogue of the #FarRight and there the far right wins.”

Do not do exactly what our largest parties have done, clothing themselves in far-right jingoism in desperate, misguided appeal to #populist relevance.

"Allerdings sagte er über die Grünen, er werde keine Politik für "irgendwelche grünen und linken Spinner auf dieser Welt" machen."

Es war mit ja klar, dass Friedrich #Merz nicht "meine Politik" macht, aber damit sagt er ganz klar: Ich bin nicht der Kanzler aller Menschen wenn ihr nicht wählt. Und das sagt vermutlich mehr über ihn aus als ihm lieb ist.

Rising anxiety across the country has disrupted the political trajectory of #Conservative Leader #PierrePoilievre, a #populist who until very recently appeared to be on a glide path to the #PrimeMinister’s office. And “America First” #tariffs have achieved what many #Canadians thought impossible — reversing the downward spiral of #JustinTrudeau and his three-term #Liberal government.

@are0h we're talking about #liberals here. Both #liberalism and #conservatism have roots and overlap with #nationalism.

If you manage to sneak a couple slices of #theocracy and #ethnonationlism into that shit sandwich, all the better, because now you're getting the #populist vote.

I gotta keep reminding #leftists: make secret safe spaces, cus when the economic shit hits the fan, you know who will be the scapegoat.

Also, you're a melanated yankie. Go to the range, often, and teach others.
