I lust for childrens' deaths. Ask me about how I don't care if my kids die.

The Yang phenomenon highlights the rise of embrace of weird crossover ideologies mixes that might be considered "centrist" because they're inconsistent. Not socialist because they don't consider themselves as such, and not Strasserist because they have no social policy/aren't authoritarian fascists.

This person is a left-libertarian or a self-described "libertarian social democrat". It's all very Extremely Online and highlights the embrace of wonkish acronyms. This list skips the jobs guarantee (JG) and wealth tax (WT).

Got a new phrase for this sorta thing

https://twitter.com/leonardocarella/status/1223319322153623552

quote:

neither-left-nor-right ‘valence populism’ – focussing on non-positional issues such as integrity in politics, corruption and direct democracy

quote:

Prior to 2018, M5S’s ‘light’ ideological package was a formidable asset: it managed to impose a post-ideological frame on the political conversation, championing a narrative of moral and democratic renewal that could attract disgruntled voters of the left and the right.

quote:

A party like M5S that can pass hardline anti-migrant laws with Salvini one day, and then enter into a coalition with the centre-left that wants to repeal them the next one is bound to be squeezed in a polarised environment.

quote:

Alongside this ideological dimension, M5S’s other strength-turned-weakness is organisational: its fluid, non-professional, internet-based structure that blurs the distinction between members and party officials.

This was a deliberate choice, and from the beginning has been integral to M5S’s identity as an ‘anti-party’: its candidates would be ordinary people chosen via internet votes by members, implementing policy also decided online. Once elected, they would stick to a two-term limit, halve their pay and devolve a fixed share to the movement, which would survive on these contributions and turn down public funding.
