        Populism is basically about simple solutions for complicated problems, and blaming every problem on a certain group of people.

        From the right, the most prominent example is immigrants, while from the left, it’s mostly rich people.

        Populism is essentially having an ‘anti-something’ agenda without acknowledging nuance.

      If the left could incorporate populism, it could gain popularity. It doesn’t need to be nefarious, just easier to grasp communication is also a form of populism.

      Lemmy’s issue is more about right-wingers pretending to be left.
