B402, This is direct evidence your "Populism is a result of inequity" is not supported by research.

Social Mobility Explains Populism, Not Inequality or Culture
By ERIC S. M. PROTZER
Harvard University – eprotzer@hks.harvard.edu

What explains contemporary developed-world populism? A largely-
overlooked hypothesis, advanced herein, is economic unfairness.
This idea holds that humans do not simply care about the magnitudes
of final outcomes such as losses or inequalities.
They care deeply
about whether each individual’s economic outcomes occur for fair
reasons.
Thus citizens turn to populism when they do not get the
economic opportunities and outcomes they think they fairly deserve.

By research conducted by experts in the field. Research conducted by people more seriously
involved and more seriously interested in deeper root causes of populism than you are.

They state clearly their research says populism is not at all driven by cut and dry inequality as you say it is.

Yet you state your umm results with such certainty.

Hope you at least get a bit of the picture which could help you see things in a more complex light.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
