Now the governmental situation plays into their hands. It’s the first government that consists of three parties that in parts have diametrically opposed ideologies and policies. It was clear from the beginning that there would be a lot of friction happening. They openly argue about urgent topics, most recently about a proposed heating-reform, now passing over to a debate about the EU migration reform. While you can dislike aspects of the form of these debates, in my opinion they are, in essence, a sign of a healthy democratic culture. But the problem is that the former mentioned morons are unsettled by these debates and see them as a sign of a weak government. So what they do, instead of trying to understand what is happening or trying to take part in shaping these debates, is that they succumb to their feeling of fear and look for someone who paints themselves as a strong leader and give them a feeling of stability, paving the path for the group mentioned in 2.
Things like inflation and the Ukraine war of course don’t contribute to the confidence of the population with their governments, but the morons fail to grasp that these things aren’t in full control of a single government, so they spout shit like “the greens made gas expensive” or “the greens keep the Ukraine war going with weapon deliveries”. It’s always the greens, because they seem to be the only party that is far enough away from the AfD ideologically to not have significant amounts of voters moving over, so they are perfect for negative projection.
*This is also the reason why neither the “collective movement” approach nor the “big tent” approach work for the left: There are too many factions who believe their doctrine is the only relevant truth and they are neither able to make compromises or subordinate their faction under another one. This can be seen as a good thing democracy-wise, but it’s a shit precondition if you need to prevent fascism.
Sounds coherent. Would you say there are any effective tools to counter that problem? I wonder what the central banks can do at the moment, because it seems they are kind of in a deadlock regarding the control of inflation.
