Russia Ukraine war, page-184766

Populism is all about "what team you are on"...
not about behaviour/policy based on universial
philosophical principles/values.

Populists regard the discussion of philosophical
principles as "elitist academic" and as such
irrelevant .

And of course the companion trait of populists
is to find "another team" to hate.

This is very evident when reading posts
on this thread re the causes and operation
of this Ukrainian war as well as that of Gaza.

These populist traits are, IMO, the basis of Authoritarianism/Fascism
