as all supra states collapse, i think its important to return a reduced
but precise lexicon so we can rebuild free from historic idioms
the word 'populism' is obviously contaminated by exceptionalism
here in the uk, everything is contaminated/ inverted by imperialism
so we have the spectacle of tommy robinson, a 'known' fascist, challenging
the state's intelligence agency support of child prostitution funded
jihadist fighter exporters, whilst the 'liberal' media support his
unlawful solitary detention in gaol
we also have julian assange in indefinite arbitrary detention for telling
the truth
hence my pedantic intervention
wish i could see the show
hope all is well

well, not my invention but a song by Bad Religion: https://youtu.be/hES9IBTPbcw

I use the term in combination with "right-wing"

knowledge ?
sure, always truly yours (populism is not necessarily negative per se), but
first we need to understand the
contaminated language we are being exposed to by the endarkenmentalists, and
that's what I am striving to to ;-)
you could also be fundamentally critical of me using the (alt-right) term
"alt-right" - shouldn't we call them what
they are? "If you see a Nazi, say Nazi" ;-)
All the best, Inke
