Joseph Szimhart | Populism, QAnon, and the Hungarian Revolution @josephszimhart9431 | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Quoting from a 2013 book by Krisztina Fehervary, PhD, I comment on the tension between populism and urbanism and how that tension has been absorbed and constricted by the QAnon movement. I also mention The Long Road to Revolution [in Hungary] by Istvan Fehervary (1989), Krisztina’s father. Populism and progressivism as such are normal and expected in any nation, but any ism can collapse into constricted belief and behavior. “Outsiders” become “Evil” rather than potential sources of insight and correction, as evidenced by the collapse into delusion among QAnon fanatics.
