This required research?
Fuck me, this is the least surprising news since Trump was found to be a rapist.
I bet the actual research has some interesting things to say, but this article feels like it's vague on purpose so it can get positive reactions from both the people who define "populist" and "divisive" as "fascists" and "bigoted nonsense" and the people who define those things as "anyone who complains about wealth inequality" and "talking about global climate change or Israeli genocides"
In other entirely unexpected developments: water turns out to be wet.
So as a vibe check, are you (the person reading this comment) for or against populist ideas?
Which ones?
Interesting, the article doesn’t specify either 🤔
"Everyone should be able to make their voice heard in truly democratic processes." - good populism
"We should form an angry mob and go burn the houses of [minority group]." - bad populism
"To hell with the doctors, this old folk remedy totally cures [communicable disease]." - also bad populism
Populism is always going to be a force in politics imo, trying to stop it just leads to more bad populism than good populism
No U.S, U.K, Ca, Aus, E.U politics
