We the Majority of Americans see it as a useful club for #MAGARepublicans, alt-right nationalists and fascists who want to beat those seeking justice over the head with #WhiteGrievancePolitics to win elections without deploying explicitly racist terms!… [URL redacted] [URL redacted]

Supplementary #OrgIntlEuropeanConsortiumForPoliticalResearchECPRTheLoop #EDUUKQueenMaryUniversityOfLondonTimBale "'Hard right' is a neologism that, unless I'm missing something, has little or no currency whatsoever among academic experts. Those experts like to call things exactly what they are - namely (following Cas Mudde) far right (the umbrella term) or one of its two variants: extreme right or (populist) radical right. In their defence, journalists will talk about language evolving to cover new phenomena. This argument, however, seems to ignore the fact that both the extreme and populist radical-right variants of the far right have been around for decades. If this is the case, then why is it only recently that the new term has crept into media output? Journalists have even suggested that 'populist radical right' is just too complex a term for their readers to understand. Why use three words when two will do? This is understandable in a headline, perhaps, but in an 800-word report or op-ed? I don't think so. In reality, 'hard right' is less an evolution than a euphemism, effectively sanitising and normalising what it purports to describe. And the recent increase in its use doesn't seem to correlate with any deradicalisation among the parties that journalists are referring to. Instead, it correlates with growth in those parties' electoral support and their proximity to or entry into government. This all suggests that what's driving journalists' use of 'hard right' is their fear of losing access to precious sources were they to call it what it actually is. Or, given that Reform UK (successfully) threatened the BBC with legal action if it were to label the party 'far right', maybe journalists fear an even worse fate than that." https://theloop.ecpr.eu/why-we-need-to-halt-hard-right-in-its-tracks/ #IRLScientistPoliticalCasMudde #LiteralNeologism #PhenomnPopulism #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUK #NMUKBBC

This is not without problems, particularly outside of the so-called 'western' context. For instance, in Latin America, far-right actors like Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil or Jose Antonio Kast in Chile do not center nativism, although it is part of their agenda and ideology. Similarly, Recep Erdogan in Turkey and Vladimir Putin in Russia could be classified as 'far right' in the general sense, but I exclude them from my book because nativism is not central to their ideologies. In my defense, I can say, no concept is perfect." https://www.e-ir.info/2022/10/02/interview-cas-mudde/ #PoliticsNationalismXenophobicNativism #OrgClassifPPBRPartidoLiberalPLJairBolsonaro #OrgClassifPPCLPartidoRepublicanoPLRJoseAntonioKast #OrgClassifPPTRAdaletVeKalkinmaPartisiAKPRecepTayyipErdogan #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight

"Waarom maakt Bart De Wever van 'woke' ineens hét strijdpunt van zijn partij? Politoloog Cas Mudde: 'Woke is het perfecte schijndebat voor Bart De Wever.'
Wie zegt of doet wat De Wever niet zint, valt wel op de een of andere manier te labelen als 'woke'. En dus als een vijand, zelfs van het volk.
Met de exploitatie van dit thema is De Wever geen voorloper. Ooit stapelde journaliste Mia Doornaert in haar columns in De Standaard de tirades tegen woke op. En op de locatie waar De Wever op 20 oktober zijn antiwoketournee op gang trapte, de Aula Pieter De Somer in Leuven, had rector Luc Sels al op 17 september 2021 zijn academische openingsrede aan woke gewijd. Als woke ergens [Why is Bart De Wever suddenly making 'woke' the main issue in his party? Political scientist Cas Mudde: "Woke is the perfect sham debate for Bart De Wever."
Anyone who says or does something De Wever doesn't like can be labelled as 'woke' in one way or another. And therefore as an enemy, even of the people.
De Wever is not a pioneer in exploiting this theme. Journalist Mia Doornaert once piled up anti-woke tirades in her columns for De Standaard. And at the location where De Wever launched his anti-woke tour on October 20th, the Pieter De Somer Auditorium in Leuven, Rector Luc Sels had already dedicated his academic opening address to woke on September 17, 2021. If woke were anywhere]"

Addendum #PoliticsNationalismXenophobicNativism ? i.e. #MagazineUSTheAtlanticUriFriedman "Nativism, Mudde told me, is 'xenophobic nationalism.' It is 'an ideology that wants congruence of state and nation--the political and the cultural unit. It wants one state for every nation and one nation for every state. It perceives all non-natives ... as threatening. But the non-native is not only people. It can also be ideas.' Nativism is most appealing during periods when people feel the harmony between state and nation is disappearing" (11 April 2017). [digital archives] #IRLScientistPoliticalCasMudde
