- whynotminot 6y agoPopulism is cold and confused and often lacks for internal logic. How else would you describe it, Mr/Ms Supposedly Anti-Populist?
- nverno 6y agoSimply a general mistrust of big centralized government doesn't sound so negative.
- whynotminot 6y agoGeneral mistrust is fine. I'm a hedonist liberal and I still want lots of transparency and good oversight of my government. My populist friends and colleagues don't want good government. They barely want any functioning government.
- centimeter 6y agoI think your political classifications are whack; your descriptions of what you call "populists" don't ring true at all.
- whynotminot 6y agoYou keep critiquing other people’s definition of populism but you’re not providing your own.
