🔴 GASTROPOPULISM THREAD (very random, but why not talking about #populism)
I was chatting with a colleague about Markus Söder’s endless beer-and-Bavarian-food pics, and immediately thought of Salvini’s “face + food” posts.
I usually laugh about it, but let's have a thread on it.

for the techno-populism curious, you might want to know that Meloni is also skipping COP30.
btw remember the media praise she got re promises about finance at COP28 (300M for Green Climate Fund, 100M for Loss & Damage Fund)?
Turns out 1/3 only has been issued and none of this is new money really.

In case this got lost, reminder that at COP30 the United States is not sending any high level representatives, and apparently no technical staff either, for the first time in 30 years.

Just watched Dead to Rights. Hard not to think of Sanseito’s rising nationalist–populist rhetoric, its anti-migration stances also vs Chinese.
Japan’s gov’t has acknowledged wartime wrongdoing but never issued a direct apology for the massacre. Ambiguity keeps the wound open & fuels mistrust.

Populism is not undemocratic per se. It is a euphemism for the kind of political and social system the current far right wants to establish. If we continue to describe their threat as populism, politicians will continue to say "in a democracy, it can't be wrong to do what the people want". 2/

Meloni? Wilders? Le Pen? Now that Trump has normalized the withdrawal from IOs, we could expect that more populists will claim the same, supported by their audience already critical towards international governance.
