What makes populists so popular?

 

 What makes populists so popular?



If we are thinking the politics there is always the possibility. That the politician will start to follow some very noisy. But a small marginal group. The small marginal groups are many times boosting their agenda with weapons. And that is the reason why I should put the image of R-4 carbine at the top of this text. Guns are the things that guarantee publicity. And those things also guarantee authority for the people who carry them. But in this case, I will not put the image of the weapon in that place. 

The reason for that is he tells people what they want to hear. Same way as other populists he has an explanation for everything. The reason for that thing is the "political elitists". That imaginational group is denying people to think what they want. And the thing that makes Trump somehow terrible is that he plays the same game with marginal groups. The thing that makes marginal groups frightening is that they are boosting their agenda and opinions with weapons. 

And those weapons are, of course, in the main role of that kind of people demonstrations. The reason why regular people want to "respect" Trump. Is that he uses a very interesting way to act.  The official part of the supporters of Trump is using very controlled language. But the people who are not the "official part" use death threats people who are "on their way". Of course, those threats are published in newspapers. And of course, Trump has nothing to do with anger. That his supporters feel. 

The people who are working in the field are in a great role. If somebody shoots them that thing rises martyrs in the hands of Trumpists. There is, of course, forgotten that some of those "demonstrators" who are angry, because their man did not get in White House because that man got too few votes carried guns.

The description of the disinformation is that is misinformation that somebody delivers on purpose. The modern electronic networks guarantee that also disinformation is spreading very fast. There are four things about disinformation. 

1) We should afraid of disinformation


2) And also deliverers of disinformation can claim that real, confirmed information is disinformation. 


3) Everybody can deliver disinformation


4) Making sure that something is disinformation can be harder than people ever imagine. 


x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x


Riots are stressful situations. And those situations make weapons more dangerous than they normally are. 


The case of Kyle Rittenhouse is a good example of how weapons are used as a threat. 18 years old boy shoots two demonstrators by using an automatic rifle. And the court released him. Rittenhouse claimed that those victims threat him. The thing is that if Rittenhouse's victims were black. 

That thing could cause racial demonstrations or even riots. Riots are stressful situations. And Kyle Rittenhouse is a young man without any experience and training to face any kind of violence. The gun in the hands of that kind of man in a stressful situation is always dangerous. 

But Rittenhouse shot white men. The situation was a riot that began in the case that police shot a black man who resisted arresting. Both black and white politicians want sometimes benefit from the situations where a white cop shoots a black person. 

Or the thing is that in the modern US politics is seen the dangerous polarization. There is enough for people who want to make politics with those things. The white cop shoots a black man. And that is the reason for the riot. The cops are racists, and then that thing causes the counter riots. In every riot is people who want just steal property. 


There could be professional criminals who provocate riots for causing disorders. Those people are breaking windows and stealing property by using that kind of riot as a mask. 


The stories of purpose provocation in the cases of riots or "Agent provocateurs" might begin from the professional criminals who provocate riots for causing disorder. Then those people will kick windows of the shops in, and steal things that they want. There are also stories that the members of the Ku Klux Klan are taken apart in some national rights demonstrations for provocating riots. But the coordination of that kind of action is not proven. 

That black man was of course, unarmed. That is the truth that is told in the media. Until somebody thought that there was a gun. That thing can explode the situation. 

The fact is that the attitude of policemen might be so-called "overloaded". When the media and superiorities are telling stories about the high crime records, crack houses, and homes full of weapons in those areas. 

That thing causes that the police is seeing those areas as more dangerous than normal people. And then they are "seeing weapons" more often than normal people. 


That thing causes a dangerous situation and if somebody yells "gun" that means law enforcement might feel that the other people are in danger. And then they open fire. There is a possibility that if the arrested person has a gun. And that is drop to somewhere some other person like a drug dealer or drug user will simply pick that gun from the streets.

The thing is that if there are people around with assault weapons "protecting their property" causes stress to cops who don't know why those people are surrounding them. Riots are always a stressful situation and the possibility that there is a gun in the pockets of rioters causes stress to law enforcement. But when rioters are armed with assault weapons. The stress is very high. There is needed only a small reason And the entire situation turns to the massacre. 

They cannot know are those people in the same gang as the person they try to arrest. Or when the attitudes of the cops are fully loaded to face violence when trainers are telling about shootings and media is full of mass shootings that thing can cause the situation that some cop will open fire. The thing that makes cops more willing to use guns is the personal threat. If there is some threat calls to the telephones of the cops can cause that the cop to "see guns" more often than usual. 


The death threats are causing violence. 


Another thing that the people who are playing the "non-official" line of the supporters of Trump are telling about the threats and other things like post packages full of shit to newspapers. The message of those people is simple.  "If you are against us, you will get lots of shit in your life". This means that people who are against Trump should be quiet. 

The thing is that publicity about things like death threats is the thing that is used for pressurizing people to be quiet about things like weaponized right-wing nationalists whose mission in this kind of theater is to bring force for people who believe populists. And the thing that populists are offering is "strong leadership" and "great nation". 

The thing that is making those things very dramatic and also addictive. Is that those people are offering something concrete for their followers. That thing is the assault weapon with great respect. The weapons are carried in the demonstrations against the police. And that thing makes those situations very stressful.

Agent provocateurs and their relationship with the mafia.

Agent provocateurs are suitable actors when somebody wants to justify the use of force against some groups. Those provocateurs are professional rioters, who are throwing the rocks and Molotov cocktails against the police, and after that, the riot control team has free hands to use the power against those demonstrators. In some cases, those provocateurs are claimed to burn cars or broke windows during demonstrations, and that would justify the police actions against the people.


In some cases, the journalists, who have written books about mafia and some other criminal organizations have faced the things, that their cars have been pushed by other vehicles or their garbage have not taken away. In those cases that a person has faced the psychic violence, where each work, what is ordered have been done only after the reclamations. And that thing causes very bad stress for people, who are facing that kind of things. In Italy, those journalists have faced the thing, that their parking lot has been filled with garbage, and that kind of things are disgusting.


When we are thinking about the demonstrations against the Bank of World and the G-12 meetings, the demonstrations have many times turned to violent riots, and that thing is very sad because people have the right to protest. In some cases, there have been claimed that the demonstrations were manned with professional provocateurs, who would start to throw the petrol bombs against police, and the reason for those claiming is mentioned that the demonstrations wanted to crush, because somebody doesn't like those people.


Somebody suspect that behind those actions is some security services, what want to demonstrate, that the demonstrations would be crushed also in the western nations. Or the actor would be some private security corporation, what will want to cause fear in the mind of those persons, who take the part of the meeting. That would make rational thinking very difficult, and also riots make those meetings very unpopular for cities, what is hosting them.


Sometimes is claimed that the terrorism in the 1970's has caused by provocations, what were made the mercenaries, who worked for some multinational corporations. The international terrorism caused very much problems for socialists, and that's the reason, why those attacks, what is claimed to made by RAF (Rote Armeé Fraction). That kind of terrorism justified the massive police actions against the left-wing radicals. And when we are thinking about the political field where the IRA operated, the reason for underline the socialistic ideology could be caused by the weapons, what the leaders of that group wanted to get from the Eastern Block.


When we are remembering the bomb strike against Margaret Thatcher, the prime minister of Great Britain. The person behind this bomb strike made very bad service for IRA, and sometimes there are rumors that behind that strike were Loyalists, who wanted that British army would be more active in Northern Ireland. The Loyalist is the world, what some Protestant's groups like UVF (Ulster Volunteer Fighters) used about themselves, for underlining the friendship for the British government.


And that would give the picture, that those groups are supported by the British government. But in the real life, those loyalists organizations are also classified as terrorists, and I sometimes wonder, why they are not mentioned so often in the situation in Northern Ireland. Many of the groups, what operates in Northern Ireland have very mighty names, but in the real world, those groups might have only about 20 members, and that makes them dangerous.


Some of those groups would be ordinary criminals or mercenaries, who would make strikes for money, and in those cases, they would play the IRA or UVF members. And the targets for those attacks might be some drug dealers, who would not pay the "protection money" for those men. And of course, real IRA and UVF have sold contract killings for criminals, because that would get money for their actions. Maybe there are men who are still believing in terrorism, but as we might see, anybody could write those letters to the wall after shooting somebody.
