More right-wing populist crap
Well, if there is right wing populist crap, *Riverwalk, *there is left wing populist crap as well.
We need to be clear about populism, which is sweeping the globe. It is a rejection of the elite and those who think they know better and impose their (often liberal, left wing) views on others.
Definition - Populism refers to a range of political stances that emphasise the idea of "the people" and often juxtapose this group against "the elite"
Please note how left wingers are OK with an elite and see themselves as "elite". Isn't it strange, a few decades ago, left wingers would be fighting for the rights of the working man/woman to object to those who think they know what is best for them. I thought most rebellions and revolutions were about the downtrodden saying 'enough is enough'?
And the left would be there championing their cause.
Now, if the people dare rise up and say "I have had enough of this (political) crap" - they tend to be written off by left wingers as right wing fascists. It's sneaky.
Please look at how the left are doing the manipulating again because they do not like it that a massive proportion of the UK population are calling out the two party system, fed up with it and rejecting what is on offer. A
And rightly so in my opinion.
I'd say the opposite of populism is to PUT UP AND SHUT UP - something the liberal elite would like for the rabble who dare protest.
That folks, is "populism" and (much of) the left hate it and denigrate those who are rising up.
Long live populism, I say.
