Because populism tends to be very dumb, vapid, completely misidentify the real problems, fail to understand why things are the way they are, promote brainrot conspiracy think, and offer completely impractical solutions that focus primarily on crowd pleasing to name a few reasons.
As a middle eastern feminist I didn’t expect one of my biggest political enemies to be the leftist/communist crowd. Every time we talk about child marriage, hijab laws, honor killing, fgm, WHY do these so called progressives pop up to fight against us ???
🇨🇴Esto, de una cuenta universitaria de izquierda con casi medio millón de seguidores, es una caricatura antisemita digna de los años 30. Hoy, en nombre del "antisionismo", el antisemitismo más burdo y clásico ha sido naturalizado por la izquierda.
@nolightupstairs I could never be a populist or a socialist because they always have horrible fellow travelers.
Even the efforts of academic leftists have the outcome to effectively pry the door open for very bad people and to inspire homegrown terrorists/bigots. Same exact issue with maga
making fun of morality police in Saudi Arabia — valid, brave, speaking truth to power, anti-imperialist.
making fun of morality police in Iran — invalid, cowardly, imperialist propaganda, islamophobic.
The Arabs did not understand what they were creating. When Jews were kicked out of Arab lands with little money, no protection, and no future, many believed they were permanently removing their Jewish populations. They told the Jews to “go back to Israel,” convinced that the new Jewish state would collapse under the attacks of the ummah and that the Jews would not survive or fight back.
But when that effort failed, and Israel survived instead of disappearing, the narrative was reversed. The same voices that supported the ethnic cleansing of the Jews and justified the expulsion of Jews from Arab countries began accusing Israel of what they tried to do, while simultaneously telling Jews whose families were expelled from Arab lands to “go back to Poland.”
@maiamindel Crazy that this is actually when the party peaked, it's so much worse and so much more irrelevant now
Their state affiliates' and influencers' accounts all blocked me for telling them this too 😂
@LP_CLC@LPNational Lol are all of y'all still at it?
All the normies left the LP years ago, the LPNH losers and mises weirdos already pile drived the party into oblivion
It's been completely irrelevant since after Johnson/Weld. Just a place for terminally online edgelords to play fight
@LPNational Lol these bozos took over the LP in order
to dismantle it to the benefit of populist rightoid republicans like Ron Paul and Thomas Massie, and now both of them are irrelevant.
The Axis powers y'all support like Iran, Russia, Syria, ain't doing too good these days either
