Tips for covering far right terrorism: 1. Name victims, not terrorists. 2. Link act to ideology, not gaming or music taste. 3. Discuss mental health AND ideology. 4. Don't isolate act, integrate it in pattern. 5. Investigate terrorists' subcultures, not their neighborhoods.

1. He is not powerful -- which is why he needs media 2. He is not influential -- which is why he needs media 3. He is elite -- which is why media invites him 4. He is far right -- which is why media should not promote him 5. Many non-far right are anti-elite -- invite them!

The email the BBC sent to my office justifying Bannon’s inclusion described him as a ‘powerful and influential figure...promoting an anti-elite movement.’ This kind of language to describe views that many would describe as fascist does seem to me to run the risk of normalisation.

Let me be absolutely clear here: 1. this is not conservatism 2. this is not radical right 3. this is EXTREME right Whatever their discourse and excuses, this is the embrace of anti-democratic and violent political behavior!

Breaking News: The Republican Party officially declared the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol “legitimate political discourse” and censured two of its own members, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, for investigating it.

10. The real question never was "will the center hold?" but "which center will hold?". In this respect, much can and should be improved. Pressuring liberal democratic parties away from far right is helped by realistic rather than sensationalist analysis and reporting! #TheEnd

"Woman of 44 years old" becomes Belgian Prime Minister. Quite impressive for someone who doesn't even have a name. 🤦‍♂️

Can’t wait for the next Greek elections in which all parties accuse each other of wanting to turn Greece into the UK.

1. Increase in seats is mainly because the far right did particularly well in a few big countries (France and Italy, to a lesser extent Germany).

Populism is an ideology that considers society to be ultimately separated into two homogenous and antagonistic groups: “the pure people” and “the corrupt elite”, and argues that politics should be an expression of the volonté générale (general will) of the people.

Mijn hart gaat uit naar Moslims, asielzoekers, en andere gemarginaliseerde groepen in Nederland. Een kabinet met onversneden racisten, samengesteld door politieke mainstream, genormaliseerd door de media mainstream, en straks geïnstalleerd zonder grote protesten van de bevolking.
