"In the 20th century, it was important to position oneself against fascism and authoritarian state socialism simultaneously," writes @jwmueller-pu.bsky.social.

"But today, a reflexive position in the middle...makes little sense in a completely asymmetrical political landscape."

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Dit is een heel belangrijk artikel van Lotte Schrijver, Marcel Lubbers en @takesipma.bsky.social. Het laat zien dat naar mate kiezers migratie als een belangrijker thema zien zij een grotere kans hebben om PVV te stemmen, *onafhankelijk* van hun positie over migratie.

Apologies for being self-referential but
Abstract of the paper "How Mainstream Politician Erode Norms": "How does anti-immigrant rhetoric by mainstream politicians affect norms of tolerance? How does this compare to similar statements made by radical-right politicians? Drawing on experimental evidence, we find that statements by mainstream politicians lead to more norm erosion than similar statements by radical-right politicians. Subsample analyses suggest that this is because statements by mainstream-right politicians erode norm perceptions of right-wing individuals, while those by radical-right politicians induce backlash among left-wing individuals, who hold closer to the norm in place. The latter effect (backlash by the left) disappears when similar statements are made by mainstream right politicians. We argue that this difference occurs because mainstream politicians represent the views of a larger part of the population or have a higher status. Our results highlight the pivotal role of mainstream politicians in enforcing or eroding democratic norms, and that similar political statements can have different effects depending on their sender."

Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.
Here is a list I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits. Defense of democracy seen as basic to the job. Symmetrical accounts of asymmetrical realities seen as malpractice. “Politics as strategic game” frame seen as low quality, downmarket, amateurish— and overmatched. Bad actors with a history of misinforming the public seen as unsuitable sources and unwelcome guests. Internalizing of the “liberal bias” critique seen as self-crippling, a historic mistake in need of correction.
