The Right-Wing Ideology Exposed

The Right-Wing Ideology Exposed

Postby Cactus Jack » Tue May 21, 2019 12:38 pm

An Austrian far-right politician got caught red-handed. Or was he? Not in his worldview, as became clear during his resignation speech. The right-wing worldview holds that if you're fighting a vast and dangerous enemy, anything goes.

Strache will be Strache.

After the entire world watched as he tried to lay the groundwork for installing a Hungary-esque media landscape in his country with Russian help - https://www.spiegel.de/international/eu ... 67959.html, Strache complained in his Saturday press conference of a campaign "from abroad."

This in particular caught my eye.

They do not depend on the exchange of reason and argument; they do not rely on open discourse. Rather, they depend solely on the mechanics of power. And once you get rid of critical journalists, according to this mechanical worldview, you are also freed of criticism. The threat, though, never dissipates. Furthermore, the fact that the right wing has had success at the polls and has been voted into government in many European countries is, according to this logic, by no means proof of the fairness of the system. Just as the failure of right-wing plans, such as Brexit, is no proof of their unsuitability. Everything is linked to larger, hidden powers that must be reacted to. It's not about shaping a political plan and choosing between political visions. Rather, it is about protection and imperative.

Ten second soundbites, air head butts and a fat neck. The body language works better.

It's the look of the thing that these people are exploiting. That's what matters in a world of screens.

Those soundbites get strung together and in the minds of many they become a narrative.
When you actually ask these people with a sound bite filled head .... what are their actual policies .... it can get amusing .... so long as they don't explode in a fir of rage!

I don’t see this as an Us v Them thing but a Us v Us.

Every ‘side’ is capable of the above.

not quite. the vast majority of People refuse to accept responsibility for their part, so it is always Us, We, Our, Them. in place of I, Me, Mine.

interesting. I recal it was the democrats who attacked jurnalists, and now demand lawers betray their oath of confidence (under threat of imprisonment) in council.
