A part of the country's doom spiral is that before we get a chance to breathe, critical opinions (that is, not actual evidenced scepticism) is given equal airtime for any and all policy.
Remembering the victims of the Oslo & Utøya attack, 15 years ago today. 💔 The far right is the most fundamental and, in most ‘western’ countries, the deadliest threat. We need vigilance, not normalization.
In a new chapter in "Teaching Autocracy and Autocratic Politics" edited by @edwardgoldring.bsky.social, I reflect upon the not so wise words of Muammar Gaddafi, and discuss how best to design teaching on autocratic politics for undergrad and grad students. Link: books.google.no/books/about/...

I’m excited to share this. David and I get into the substance of leader effects, whether elections were ‘won by leaders’, why we give them too much weight, but how they can matter, and when. I’m indebted to Tiphaine Le Corre @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social who helped me think about this over years.

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s Rassemblement National, to be a keynote speaker at this year’s Reform UK annual conference. Under his mentor, Le Pen, RN has attempted to be seen as more "moderate" & "reasonable" than in the past.
So much so that proposals such as outsourcing asylum processing, "remigration" or taking away citizenship already awarded to people are discussed by established media as if they were not extreme right ideas.
Reform & Restore have achieved the very opposite, by pulling both Conservatives & Starmer's Labour further to the right, without moving one inch.

Grüne und Linke haben seit der Bundestagswahl zusammen so viel zugelegt wie die AfD. Es dreht sich aber alles um die AfD. Als wäre eh schon sicher, dass sie 2029 regiert. Das Narrativ des „Rechtsrucks“ suggeriert man müsse sich anpassen und könne gar nicht aktiv progressive Politik gestalten.

After a prolonged period of unusual unity, it's heartwarming to see that the #farright #AfD is back at it. Does not change the bigger picture of parallel radicalisation and normalisation, but criminally underreported nonetheless. So I wrote a very short post about it 👇
Out in the open: AfD infighting
We're back in "Putsch in the AFD!!!" territory. Will it matter? No. Is it faintly amusing? Also no. Is it important? Perhaps. Related posts: Four far-right links I liked 4 quick takes on the result of the 2019 European Elections in Germany Six More Links I Liked

Saudi doctor jailed for life for ramming car into German Christmas market killing 6
A German court has sentenced a Saudi psychiatrist to life in prison for driving a car into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing six people, including a nine-year-old boy, and injuring hundreds in one of the country's deadliest attacks in recent years.
