It's possible to wrongly pooh-pooh a protest with a "populist" message that happens to be sensible. And on the other hand, it's also possible to rightfully attack a "populist" movement as all outrage and bluster with no clear message. Unfortunately, I think it's become the case that most "populist" outcry is of the latter variety. It's stoked by the powerful, who feed the outrage with overly simplistic logic, relying on absolutes and archaic ideals as glue to hold it together. This was/is the entire populist outcry over immigration, in a nutshell. It's not that the anti-immigration people are wrong. It's that they refuse to see the world in anything other than absolutes, and instead believe that economic realities, to which we must adapt, can be overruled by traditional, patriotic ideals. Instead of arguing about how we will adapt to these realities (a discussion which can yield a wide variety of solutions), they propose that we throw everyone out, seal up the borders, and/or toss a bunch of people in jail.
Too often, populism is just the hammer of reactionary outrage, endlessly beating the square block into the round hole for anybody who will listen. And I think that's why it gets a bad rap, and why it deserves to get a bad rap. _________________________________________________________________________ Colorado Modular homes | pet sitting fort worth | F003 iPhone
