If you're the sort of nerd (not derogatory) who'd be inclined to read a hot-off-the-presses essay on the historiography of the American far right, then this open-access essay is for you! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Das Muslim-Bashing der ÖVP ist mies - und blöd
Es ist sinnlos, den Rechtsextremen nachzubeten, das zeigen schon die Umfragen

Mit dem jetzigen Personal ist von der ÖVP nicht mehr zu erwarten. Und so lange die FPÖ für kompetent gehalten wird, ändert sich nichts.

“At a time when polarization is so amped up, aphorisms can serve as psychological circuit breakers, interrupting our comfortable assumptions and prodding us to open our minds, unclench our fists, and think for ourselves,” James Geary argues:
Aphoristic Intelligence Beats Artificial Intelligence
It’s not just okay for some things in life to be hard—it’s essential.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result is demagoguery and corruption.
