@mira_is_psyched: Replying to @🦝 Please watch until the end! Why do certain parties rely so heavily on the past - and why don’t these pasts have to paint a coherent picture? #psychology #liberals #germany #deutschland #2026
The Masquerade is a tactic to win votes and gain power but what are, ultimately, their „true“ aims? What would be a dream scenario for the AFD five years from now? Why is that aim so necessary to mask?

People always yearn for a simpler time, except it was never simpler, just seems that way once enough time has passed...

This is so perfectly explained! It's also why you don't get a consistent answer when you ask the MAGAs what supposedly great time they're trying to get back to.

Oh no. the mainstream parties recreated the Weimar Republic and now you all surprised Pikachu's face that the reaction appears.

The AfD vision sounds as deliberately inchoate as Brexit or the agendas currently advanced by Reform UK and Restore.

when people aren't satisfied with the present, they romanticize the past, but don't realize that the present is shaped by the past, and going back to how things used to be is not the answer :) #HistoryMatters

I wish the political nostalgia for the 50s would focus on the income taxes for rich people regarding this time.

Pretty much the Reform playbook. Selling the idea of a (frankly misremembered) golden past while also doing their utmost to never return to it with their other policies and positions.

Mind you the AfD is the only one constantly attacking other parties for wanting to „bring back the GDR“ while also claiming „wir sind das Volk“ and wanting to implement GDR-type policies (as shown here)

Stoking fear is cognitive conditioning, to make people look desperately for relief

I'm so sad about what's happening, you also cannot discuss with a party which doesn't have a clear line. In 2020 they advocated for lock down and similar things, when no other party did... When other parties wanted a lockdown they suddenly were the party against it.
you cannot argue with populists at that scale and I think that's what makes it so hard

Such a good overview! 👏 There is nothing in what you’ve outlined that I cannot parallel with an equivalent offered by Reform/Restore parties in the UK. The same criticism equally applies. Their multi-faceted offers are mutually exclusive, contradictory and generally meaningless.

This is the difference between Reflective Nostalgia and Restorative Nostalgia, the former being normal and healthy, the later impossible without a time machine.

How ever much I like this type of content, I feel it is preaching to the choir. While people who agree and whose fyp is already tuned to show similar content will be nodding when they see this, it is too complex for its intended audience, and it is too long for most young viewers

ReformUK and Restore Britain are doing exactly this and folks are falling for it! Terrifying.
