Global Theory Forum returns this Thursday at 5pm when @Freddielarden will present 'If the people don’t laugh, they’ll cry (out in terror): the comedy and the horror of populism' with Prof James Martin from Goldsmiths as discussant. Join us at UCL Central House LG05, then the pub!
Come along to discuss horror and comedy in Trump and Zohran Mamdani's discourse - with a bit of Romero's zombie films and Shaun of the Dead thrown in for good measure
In a change to our schedule, our very own @Freddielarden will be presenting on the horror and comedy of populism on 19th March at UCL, Central House LG05 at 5pm (followed as always by the pub). We are excited that Goldsmith's Prof James Martin will be joining us as discussant.
Our second panel of the day discussed left-wing populism and its challenges, with presentations from @bolandeira and @TheoAiolfi, @Freddielarden and Hannah Shaw! #PSA25
We can now also confirm our senior discussant for the final session on 'Funny People' being presented by @Freddielarden, namely Bournemouth's very own Savvas Voutyras!
If you zoom in very close, you can spot the "silent majority" of the "left behind" the mainstream media and politicians are convinced is "the people"
Yes, that's the handful of fascist you can hardly see. The rest? The scary woke left obviously, standing for democracy

I came out as trans when I was 19. In the 11 years since then I have not regretted it for one moment, but Labour wants to block under-25s from accessing gender-affirming healthcare.
How can any trans ally justify voting Labour? How can any trans person justify voting Labour?
With the launch of @populismPSA's new website, an interview I did with Yannis Stavrakakis for a Brazilian journal on psychoanalysis in 2017 is finally out in English! Several other interviews are also available there! And there's much more to come! https://t.co/xC3QeCWh5b
The panel continues with a great presentation by Daniel Santos and Gil Gonçalves on populism and football, and @Freddielarden with a very funny discussion on humour in left and right populism! @PolStudiesAssoc#Populism24#PSA24
On Sunday, a group of Jews from Na'amod and @JAFPmcr joined the March Against Antisemitism in Manchester.
We were distressed to be blocked from the main march by @CST_UK and the @JewishMCR who would not let us attend with our banners.
Imagine calling people marching peacefully, for an end to killing, "hate marchers"
Calling the far-right, assembling for hate, "counter-protestors"
All under a government that says that to use Armistice Day to call for an armistice is "disrespectful"
Imagine
#March4Palestine
Esta decisión es indignante, una auténtica traición de Europa a sus propios principios fundacionales.
La Comisión Europea debe rectificar y Europa liderar una acción internacional por la paz, no castigar a todo un pueblo.
Our fifth panel, the first of the second day, begins with an inspiring presentation by @Freddielarden on populist humour, enjoyment and emancipation, and an analysis of populism in Zambian politics by Matthew Jeffries. #Populism23
