Me too. It's always used in negative context but at the same time I can not figure out what the reverse would imply.
If you mape politics that aren't populistic then who are they for?
>If you mape politics that aren't populistic then who are they for?
hmmmmmmm...
Good, good. Populism is how dumb people imagine politics.
WTF! Get back in the oven
It has worked well so far.
Unfortunately only anglos were stupid enough to assign economic sanctions themselves.
The supreme irony is that historically socialism and marxism was viewed as populism.
(((Sensible people)))
>people that I dislike running in democratic elections are populists
>populists are a threat to democracy
It simply means "unifying ideology 404". And that scares the fuck out of shitlibs, cuckservatives and lefties because they are used to thinking in terms of ideologies.
Populism is this boogy gooby they can't understand. For them there is always one-size-fits-all solution (gommunism, liberalism, libertarism, fascism, nazism, christian conservatives) and when their opposition says "lol no u dum fuckers" they get so confus they enter permament autistic screetching mode.
And then we win while they are still debating are we nazi or fascist.
Populism is just a strategy. It isn't a brand of politics.
Im all for it at the moment becuase it is favourable to me.
It means shit. We've always been extremely gullible to labeling techniques. What seems to work even better today is combining this labeling with accusing the opponent of your own wrongdoings.
Look for the people who don't abuse this and come off as genuine speakers
Why did no one ever call Obama a populist? He rode to the White House on a wave of the vaguest, emptiest platitudes imaginable.
>spend decades buying votes with handouts
>point fingers and call the opposition populists
How'd it go, the jew cries out in pain as he strikes you?
Populism simply means serving the interests of the common people. The fact that this is considered a bad thing in a 'democracy' is funny.
Don't keep your promises. Sell out your country to islamists, marxism, financial and political elite, all at the expense of the average joe.
>just fine
Keep promises, don't be a sell out, care for your own people before anyone elese.
>OMG POPULISM, IT'S DANGEROUS!!!!!
If you tell that to modern day liberals they'll just brush it off and cite Nazi Germany since that's the only thing they know from history
How could the plebs possibly know what is good for society? Be quiet, we've decided that nations, race, and borders are bad and we're going to do away with them, accept it.
>people trying to control and guide other people
Business as usual,since like the beginning of time
i never really payed attention to it. isnt it just a strawman or something? populism sounds like what you do to get elected. isnt "populism" the whole fucking point of the democratic system that the jews love so much?
What's the inverse of populism? Elitism?
Yeah, it's activating my almonds
So what's the perfect politician then?
"Unfortunately we cannot afford healthcare reform ,and we have to raise taxes, but vote for me anyway"?
The Jew is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Jew and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
>Democracy by its very definition is rule by the people
>Populism - Populares - the common people
A populist is a politician who does his fucking job, IE looks after the interests of the people he represents. He is not there to be an activist or save the world, he is there to make sure he takes care of his country so his people can prosper and live safe lives. Is it in the Dutch people's interest to be have their secular laws be replaced with religious dogma? Is it in their interest to have hundreds of thousands of people who are loyal to a foreign power? No? Then don't fucking mass import people who do want that, because it will only create tension and eventually conflict which will be bad for everyone.
Not being a populist means you're not doing your job, and effectively turns the country into an elitistic oligarchy, since only power hungry assholes only in it for themselves will flock to politics, these latter marry each other and reward each other through nepotism and use their power and influence to benefit the few instead of the many (while often paying lip service to higher ideals to fool the unwary).

Now populism has come to represent a charismatic sectoral leader of an anti-establishment group, that gains uncodified (see unspoken, or tacit) support of some members of public.
The modern media wields 'populism' as a whack-a-mole club for anti-establishment movemements - an ad hominem on a group - which seems to suggest a lack of research, reliance on dog-whistle tactics and an implied threat from the jury of public opinion.
Populism is more important to understand, etymologically and contextually than >populist< terms like 'alt-right'.
