Going Dutch
Much like the proponents of Hindutva, Wilders uses the instrument of history to weave together a political story and legitimise myths and stereotypes, writes Asim Ali.

I'm confused: all those Dutch intellectuals breaking their head over why people vote in masses for someone who, above all, for 20 years now, expressed himself against extremism of a certain group ? And all that a week after a climateprotest turned into a pro-hamas parade there ? l'm just a simple guy and would not vote for him but who knows he might just want to include representatives of the other group in his government to sort things out.
Dutch elections mark yet another far-right triumph in Europe https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/podcast/dutch-elections-mark-yet-another-far-right-triumph-in-europe/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #BeyondtheByline #Democracy #Dutchelections #farright #GeertWilders
Ik kan het begrijpen als mensen ontevreden zijn, maar ik begrijp niet waarom ze op een fascist zouden stemmen.

The shock victory of Geert Wilders, a notorious critic of Islam, has been welcomed by anti-immigration populists across Europe.

Sobering read in the #FT about the #DutchElections 🇳🇱🗳️
„Wilder is (…) has a long record of denigrating the EU.
(…) The main factors accounting for the PVV’s success were a flurry of scandals involving the outgoing coalition, a desire for more accountability in government, public unease over the cost of living and bestaanszekerheid, or “livelihood security”, and controversies over immigration“

After the shock results in the Dutch elections, what happens next is a long and complicated process that can last months. The newly elected MPs will, eventually, decide on a coalition and come up with a coalition manifesto that is a mish-mash of the different parties policies, plus some entirely new ones that are politically expedient.
It's been described as a black box for voters, as they have absolutely zero say in what happens next.

Well, that was a depressing night. Regardless of the leadership outcome, the number of people that voted for this disgusts me.
A primer, if you need it: https://dutchreview.com/news/wilders-impact-on-internationals-in-netherlands/
I know my opinion about the Homo Sapien species isn't very high, but I have a hard time believing that the people of the #Nederlands, #Italia, and other places want #fascist scumbags like #GiorgiaMeloni and #GeertWilders.
I have a hard time believing that #Putin, #SteveBannon as well as hate propaganda and shenanigans from Europe's and Amerika's #farright are not part of these #elections
I was (apropos among other things the #dutchelections) meditating on how #fascist and fascist-adjacent politicians exploit the complexity of the political landscape (the number of ‘live’ issues) when they are seeking election.
When the human brain has to process multiple inputs and reduce them to a single action (a vote), it is easily overwhelmed (okay, tbh, talking about my brain here).
The rational part of the brain leaves the field, and we can become more easily influenced by the irrational: our fears, but also dog-whistle emotional messaging.
This is similar to another tool in the #fascistplaybook: using misinformation to overwhelm truth. The aim is befuddlement, because we are all more receptive to influence when we are confused.
