Populism

User blog

When I see posts on Facebook about populist political parties like National Front and AfD, the comment section often looks like this:

"They will regret when the Muslims conquered their land"

"They chose to be the boiling frogs"

...and something like that. I can't remember.

I'm not taking about democracy here (So stop whining Furious). I'm talking about populism. There are populist parties in Hong Kong, most notably the League of Social Democrats.

LSD is left-wing. National Front and AfD are right-wing.

They have things in common: anti-elitism, social justice and nativism.

They are supported by the grassroots.

They oppose mass immigration.

They want changes.

That's it.
