because the will of the people has been ignored for too long

Populist just mean that you yell out simple solutions to complex problems.

But the left think it mean everything the right say or does.

Merkel going full retard, facebook/twatter/snaphat being a platform for leftism, shit perpetually "HABENNING" in the middle east for the past 15 or so years, russia getting its shit together and probably a whole shitload of other reasons.

>Populist just mean that you yell out simple solutions to complex problems.
most complex problems do have simple solutions

Drones would be a better alternativ than a wall against Mexicans desu

bump

The populares outnumber the optimates. Populism will always win in a society of morons.

Any idiot knows that populism means different things depending on where and when it's used. Currently it's used to signify xenophobia and opposition to the EU.

swedes should be banned

Gas the fatties.

People are realizing the post-WWII consensus is retarded.

>People are realizing the post-WWII consensus is retarded.
Yes, the longest period of relative peace and prosperity in history of humankind is something bad, we should totally go back to policies that led to countries being destroyed.

>growing so much
>support growing by 2.5% in 35 years
HOLY SHIT, HOW DO WE STOP THIS?

>a 3% increase but zoomed in a lot so it fills the image
Wow it's fucking nothing

>8
>was 5
>3% increase in 46 years

we are doing fine

Meanwhile the feminist party in sweden goes from 0% to 1,7% and we're fucked. Classic Sup Forums brainlets.

Late stage capitalism, austerity, working conditions deteriorating, unemployment, all of these sacrifices so that a bunch of parasites can get bigger profits that will be hidden in fiscal paradises or speculated into financial bubbles.

Reinvestment of super-profits into production of goods and services is a big porky meme.

B-But hiring a prostitute in Sweden gets you jailed

there are populists on both sides of the aisles and they're equally dumb but only one of them are politically relevant right now

>calling everything right of center populist
Kill yourself.

because first world countries already became stupid.

>But the left think it mean everything the right say or does.
here, at least, in the less developed countries it's the other way around: the right accuses the left of being populist

>socialist cuck
Flag checks out.

Sweden doesn't need a feminist party, obviously, and a growth from 0 to 1.7% is a ∞% growth

>all of human history is like 1914-1945

“It is a singular fact that this steadily increasing prosperity, far from tranquilizing the population, everywhere promoted a spirit of unrest.” —Alexis de Tocqueville

The uneducated have more avenues to express themselves publicly and thus more influence on the uneducated masses.

Mate, we ARE living in the longest period of relative peace and prosperity, including the time before 1914.
The one who's "advanced stupid" is obviously you.

They enjoyed a rise in popularity because of the financial crisis and the migrant crisis, but it's already shrinking. Both in France and Germany center-liberals won.

People who killed each other in videogames are starting to vote

To me is because both left and right parties are the outcome of the high-income elite: one is for cultural dominance stuff (left), the other is for money and power stuff(right), but both are the outcome of a very restricted size of the population.
Add this to the decline of the middle class and the increase of inequality due to economic liberism and you realize a big part of the population is not represented and also getting poor

I think this is seriously one of the biggest problems. People unironically treat politics like video games or fantasy movies, voting to do whatever seems "dude so awesome".

>People who killed each other in videogames are starting to vote
>a generation of people who are both desensitized to war and haven't experienced true suffering
Sounds we're gonna have a good time

People are unwilling to have nuanced discussions anymore. They don't view their countrymen as countrymen either.

Surprised

>blaming video games

It's that and a few things

Modern media place an enormous amount of scrutiny on any political authority, which is why virtue signalling and purtianism are so rampant

Totality of the situation, back in the day you realized that everything is a process in society, now every one right and left wants immediate brash solutions that would be disastrous

Nobody reads. A headline defines the public opinion on anything better than any book, and it's mainly because the bombardment of information in this age hasn't allowed us to adapt

Leftism and Right nationalism's worst features arose because of the age of globalization and disparately developed cultures being exposed to each other

You're naive if you think video games and movies don't have a strong influence on their consumers's mentality.

As with everything else that have a strong influence on weak minded cucks.

Not an argument.

>strong influence on weak minded cucks
are you 14?

As opposed to "le vidya" argument?

If only the government would regulate video games Hillary can win!

Do you live in the wilderness wearing a sack?

There's no need to prove you're the most conservative man alive on Sup Forums

What the hell is populism supposed to even mean?

If only the American government wouldn't use videogames in their advertisements for enlisting and fuck some youths life up

This is the product of capitalist politics btw. It's right wing governments that have opened our boarders for cheap workers, left wing politics are only useful idiots of the right wing.

>Hillary can win!
What does Hillary have to do with this? The topic isn't about American politics and neither of us are American. You seem to have been brainwashed by Sup Forums and lost the ability to think before you talk.

Says the country that keeps porting niggers into their video games set during the WW1 era to appease some vocal minority on Twitter. This is just a part of the brainwash, video games can manipulate anyone just as well as a newspaper or a Hollywood movie can.

Something dangerously destructive in a society that celebrates every individual freedom

totally, have you ordered your grave already? end of the world

fpbp

>center-liberals won
Macron won with a little more than 25% of the voters
Far right so far has been nothing but rising.

Populism
[pop-yuh-liz-uh m]
noun
(lowercase) any of various, often antiestablishment or anti-intellectual political movements or philosophies that offer unorthodox solutions or policies and appeal to the common person rather than according with traditional party or partisan ideologies.

>muhhh ebil video games
Been debunked by psychiatrists and neuroscientists alike
Fuck off kike

enforcing bigger penalties or even jail time to those who employ illegals would reduce migration way more

>stop using what I don't like in your advertisements
But standing at college campuses in uniform trying to recruit young people is A-ok?

>right wing governments have opened our borders for cheap workers
Wrong, in every single country it is in fact the leftist parties that have proposed open borders and welfare for everybody that comes whereas the right wing parties are the complete opposite of that. The blood is on the leftists hands with their destructive mass immigration globalist policies. Leftism is a disease like cancer, we need to get rid of it once and for all.

Yeah if only I didn't play video games I would not have been this brainwashed!

>big AAA studios are virtue signaling in an era of leftism where virtue signaling is seen as something good
Color me surprised.

They're concerned about violence not identitarian politics silly

That's not even my fucking argument, oh my god. Nuking Japan wasn't enough, we should have nuked you Dutchniggers as well.

It's a baseless word at this point, used by triggered leftists that are surprised that the average citizen doesn't want LBGTBBQ trans cuck shit forced upon them.

replace video games with general childlike behaviour and it's easy to see why there are people who vote populists.

Authoritarianism will help Greece unironically.

When parties make a lot of promises to draw votes, that a 15 year old with a TI-82 could calculate to be nowhere near compatible with reality

It's over and every healthy organism naturally resists death for as long as possible, futile as it may be.

>in every single country it is in fact the leftist parties that have proposed open borders and welfare for everybody
wut?

>But standing at college campuses in uniform trying to recruit young people is A-ok?
Sure, if it's realistic in its depiction of war or the experience

>he right wing parties are the complete opposite of that
They're using rhetoric to bait voters, the truth is they profit immensely and consolidate their power, theres no 100% left vs 100% right IRL and you're an idiot if you think either has your best interests at heart

You will always find ignorant vain people on both sides, whether it is populist left or populist right.

Me playing a video game does not change who I vote for, it has literally had zero impact because I don't base my political views on fucking video games.

Shitty people from shitholes around the world is simple - send them back. Most people voting populists just want to clean up the filth (((they))) let in.

>tfw too smart for populism

There is nothing inherently wrong with immigration, anyone against immigration is completely retarded. It is uncontrolled immigration paired with the ponzi scheme that is welfare that is destructive, something pushed by the left.

>implying video games are realistic depiction of war
The best you can get is Red Orchestra or Verdun I suppose but even then you feel nothing physically or mentally so it doesn't even come close anyways.

For impressionable children as well?

These kinds of things should be expected in a democracy. It's not like populism is automatically bad, but it easily could be when it tries to simplify complex problems.

The growing number of disenfranchised people on the continent are starting to lose their faith in the conventional political parties and ideologies, so they seek alternatives.

It's basicly a light version of what happened in the 1920' and 1930'.

If you're stupid, you're stupid. Video games will not change that.

On the flipside why were there outcries on the race and gender of lead characters ?

Because of historical inaccuracies, people are tired of companies catering to small vocal minorities instead of focusing on making realistic good games.

>Drones would be a better alternativ than a wall against Mexicans desu
Minefields like Chile setup is an even easier and cheaper solution.

So games are influential enough to need historical accuracy now? Not childish fantasies that we need to ignore? Why?

now this is a good discussion

>Mate, we ARE living in the longest period of relative peace and prosperity, including the time before 1914.
>The one who's "advanced stupid" is obviously you.
For the west. I think the ME, L.A., Africa, S.Asia, SE Asia, etc. might disagree with you.

Depends on what kind of game you are making. Battlefield 1 is historically accurate in every other way (or at least try to be) in terms of weapons, maps, vehicles, uniforms and so on, the only reason they put a black woman on the poster for the Imperial Russian Army is virtue signaling. It's not so much about being influential enough or not, but if you adhere to reality in every other way but one only to be some politically correct SJW then you'll hear outcries.

They have always been shit holes though.

>You're naive if you think video games and movies don't have a strong influence on their consumers's mentality
A lit of research has been done on your hypothesis and turns out it's b.s. I'd have expected better from a Jew.

So you agree that videogames can influence politics?

The financial crisis and ensuing bailouts of the banksters pissed a lot of people. A lot of people completely abandoned support for the establishment right wing parties.

So, the capitalists and banksters had to get the majority back, so they funded media outlets and politicians to firstly shift the focus on an external enemy (immigrants, refugees and MOST IMPORTANTLY leftists) on one ("populist") side and secondly to condemn the aforementioned racism and speak for a return to normality from the ugly racism (on the establishment side) to ensure that their candidates still had control.

Vote for right wing faux-populists, the banksters and capitalists win, keep austerity going and maybe crack down on some refugees and immigrants .

Vote for the establishment, the banksters and capitalists win, maybe pass some pro-trans laws or some shit.

The two sides (est and rwpop) keep "fighting each other " (for the same class interests...Against people like Bernie, Corbyn, etc.) people feel free because they can protest vote for people like Trump, they get a cathartic release without any effect.

It's blatantly obvious. In Iceland we cracked down on the banksters immediately and avoided this shit completely. Other countries are like a circus to me, lol.

You lie! They care about my great country and will reduce taxes like they reduced premiums

>any humans gaining power over others
>supposedly inscrutinable and need me to bandwagon on every decision
Best way to actually reduce the threat of populism, voters incapable of thinking for themselves on anything and reducing the state to a 2-party system

>You lie! They care about my great country and will reduce taxes like they reduced premiums

You're being sarcastic? I hope so...

Yes, I see your sarcasm detector is broken like mine

Yeah it just doesn't work over text.. The most eye opening thing is however realising that the banksters also own the weapons manufacturers.. Check the paradise papers for example.. So they can make as many refugees as they want... Especially in countries that don't take too kindly to them.

>Check the paradise papers for example..
I definitely will. Thanks

I still laugh when I remember that American Ivy Economist who changed a citation about Iceland's brilliant deregulation on his C.V. by adding 'not' or something
