Att: B402 - Understanding Today’s Populism as Ethnic Nationalism

"Far-Right Extremism Is a Global Problem
'What’s New About the New Authoritarianism?
Three recent books considering 21st-century political systems arrive at very different answers to these questions. One demonstrates how today’s autocrats prefer manipulating their citizens to outright repression; it may be the most sophisticated and robust account of the new alternatives to democracy. Another identifies mistakes that liberal democracies keep making with regard to the new autocrats. And the last points to a supposed factor in the decline of democracy—increasingly diverse societies and the difficulties of dealing with them—without arguing that democracies are necessarily doomed.
[...]There is a widespread sense that today’s autocracies differ from previous dictatorships in that rulers ruthlessly concentrate power but do not officially abolish institutions such as parliaments. Nor do they actually disavow democracy, for that matter. Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman’s Spin Dictators substantiates this intuition with data. Guriev and Treisman, social scientists who specialize in Russia, distinguish between “fear dictatorships,” a more traditional model relying on terror to enforce ideological conformity, and “spin dictatorships,” a newer kind that refrain from widespread repression but that ensure a change of power is nearly impossible.""

P - Vilifying elites as Trump does, as you do, as the sort of demagogic YouTube celebrities as Jordan
Peterson and Simon Marshall do is supporting the ethnonationtionalistic populism of Donald Trump.
P - And that is definitely not something anyone who supports democracy should be doing today.
P - Your simplified view of the situation is dangerous. In acting as you are, you are promoting
and enabling the opposition to that which you profess to support.
P - You are enabling those authoritarians who in fact are working against the development of a fairer society.

Populists are making startling gains in support and access to power across the West. The election of Donald Trump and the vote for Brexit in 2016 signalled the arrival of this new reality.

P - It is almost becoming rote to note and lament this trend. If it weren’t such a serious problem, it would be tempting to turn our attention to other pressing matters. But the reality is that today’s populism represents an existential threat to our liberal democracy. This is because, in most cases, populism is underpinned by a virulent ethnic nationalism.
