Populism and its connection to activism

Populism and its connection to activism

In the beginning, I must say that every politician is somehow populist, and populism is the thing how to get popularity. The methodology is that the populist would ask people, what they want. And then make the political agenda by using that information. The negative populism is that the politician would take the minorities under the negative attention, and the simple solution is growing the strength of the police.

Activists are a good target to populist politicians or populists, that they have a strong common ideology, like protecting some forests. Then the populist can create the political permission package that is created around the ideology or purpose of activists. That means that they are the tool, what populists us when they want votes.

Populism and activism have a strong interaction in society because activists are well visible and colorful people, and for that kind of people is easy to make contact. Also, members of religious movements are activists, and if we want to sell our political agenda and ideology, that kind of person is a good target for promises, because they are people, who are working with the same purpose.

And this makes easy to create the package of political permissions, which is built around the things that are important for those people. The emails of the activists are sometimes really easy to get, and then those people can call discussions. When we are thinking about the populists, the activists are good tools in the hands of those people. The idea is that the populists would make contact with activists, and promise support to them if they are giving their support to those populists.

So the difference between populists and activists is really small, and we must remember that activism is giving the experience to affect people, and self-esteem and trust to own business and ideology. But it can also bring relationships, which are not tolerated in the so-called normal society, and those people can give things like Emails in the hands of the populists, and those people can misuse those things.

The activism is the thing, that brings many people in politics. That means that the demonstrations and other things might make some people willing to take apart in the political movements, and maybe some of them are willing to simmer as the candidate in the political elections. But there are also some people, who are becoming more radical, and some of them transformed into terrorists, which is not tolerated. And there are always people, who are using drugs, and that kind of people are good targets for the far wing actors and dirty players in the political field.

Those marginal people can be used as "agent provocateurs", whose mission is to start to throw Molotov cocktails against police, and that justifies the use of force against those demonstrations. Some "non-democratic" governments use that kind of tactic when the demonstrations against the government would turn embarrassing. And sometimes has been rumored that some military companies are using trained provocateurs in the cases when the other side of demonstrations must be ended.

But the most effective way to close the mouths of people is just taking them Emails, and then open the social media accounts by using those Email-addresses. Then those information operators would start to denigrate the political movement, what they claim to support. In those cases, that kind of person can share the pictures of weapons and men with ski-masks in the name of that movement. Or they can start to provocate other people to attack against the targeted politicians.

This is one reason, why people must always be suspicious if there seems to be something wrong with the people, who are playing the members of some political or other kinds of movement. If those people are looking like different or acting against the official line of the political movement, there is a possibility that the person just plays the member, or the social media account is in the name of some person, who has nothing to do with movement.
