No one believes that about honorentheos. Not even you.
Nice try at a tasteless, immoral distraction, though.
Really, panny? You are not just saying this because you are a holocaust denier? What? You must be a holocaust denier.
I'm waiting for you to point something out that is actually what populists are FOR and not just something you personally want but don't align with socialists to pursue it.
You have not shown that being against something lacks ambition of also being for something. You seem confused further that one's ambitions, including their motivations, are not subject to the probability or belief that it will be attained or realized.honorentheos wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 8:13 pmI'm waiting for you to point something out that is actually what populists are FOR and not just something you personally want but don't align with socialists to pursue it.
Being against disparity is definitionally an aspect of populism. But again that's being against something without having a coherent belief that can be realized. You seem confused by the label you've chosen for yourself.
Let him. Now he's showing his hand by calling you one, too. When one lacks substance they have to fill the vacuum with something, right?

They need to add a North American guy from the first half of the 21st Century to the list.Encyclopedia Britannica wrote:In its contemporary understanding, however, populism is most often associated with an authoritarian form of politics. Populist politics, following this definition, revolves around a charismatic leader who appeals to and claims to embody the will of the people in order to consolidate his own power. In this personalized form of politics, political parties lose their importance, and elections serve to confirm the leader’s authority rather than to reflect the different allegiances of the people. Some forms of authoritarian populism have been characterized by extreme nationalism, racism, conspiracy mongering, and scapegoating of marginalized groups, each of which served to consolidate the leader’s power, to distract public attention from the leader’s failures, or to conceal from the people the nature of the leader’s rule or the real causes of economic or social problems. In the second half of the 20th century, populism came to be identified with the political style and program of Latin American leaders such as Juan Perón, Getúlio Vargas, and Hugo Chávez. In the early 21st century, populist authoritarian regimes arose in Turkey, Poland, and Hungary, among other countries.
You can’t have a better example of an elitist politician posing as a populist than the Former Guy.Populists can become the elite. Yet populist politicians (re)elected to office continue to use anti-elite appeals to delegitimize opponents, even after they have come to represent the very establishment they had attacked in the past.
Oh? The PoliSci and sociological view of populism is it lacks meaningful ideological identity. A "thin ideology" if you will. Globbing onto "thick" ideologies, such as socialism in the case of your chosen example, is part of it's form as an oppositional identity.Cultellus wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 8:15 pmYou have not shown that being against something lacks ambition of also being for something.

You seem confused by logic.
Oh, well then. If it is not meaningful then you have nothing to worry about. It it like the 14th season of American Idol. Nobody cares but the contestants and their moms.honorentheos wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 8:23 pmOh? The PoliSci and sociological view of populism is it lacks meaningful ideological identity.
