Modern political investigator investigates populism and governments relationship with political system and democracy. As you might know that radical populism is often conducting with religious meanings because religion is so deep in the mind of middle east people. Sometimes they ever read anything more than religious books, and that offers good room for Islamist propaganda. Religion is a very strong weapon in hands of fanatics when their audience doesn’t know any more than one way to life, and that way is radical Islamic way to life.
This ultra populism basis itself in radicalism and simple way of life. When a government takes part of politics we will go to wrong way because the government should be neutral on political questions and free from politics, but this is an impossible way to control the state. Members of the government are human been and that's why they are under influence by public media and political authorities, which normally work together with public media. Populism is a way to dictatorial democracy, where people have right to give votes, but elections should make from the list where is so many candidates of the parliament as there are seats.
Mass media is a powerful thing in hands of political system, because that is the way to influence normal people, and way of journal media is very effective way to influence opinions of the whole nation. Because men of government are human, someone can make a situation where government officials make their decisions in the feeling of anger, and those decisions are always bad. So when people will order something they should think all part of that what they will do. If people don’t think what they say or what they do will consequences be very bad for everybody? Media is a good weapon in hands of undemocratic powers of the nation.
Normally those undemocratic powers will give good explains for they way to rule, but if we look their agenda sharper, we will see what means democracy. Those attackers who work against democracy have good reason to remove democracy, that is safety. Those undemocratic powers like to give people simple opportunities to shut down surveillance system what have built for protecting democracy, and that is the privacy of people. Those people offer law enforcement and other people choice where surveillance systems will replace hardcore police force, and some of their propaganda is for leaders of a country.
They will release news what are a very negative vision of national leaders, and after that, they will say that strong leaders should not have to tolerate that news. And they offer censorship for the solution of those media-articles. And if surveillance stops they must not afraid of any negative news. They offer to change that we could become a new person when we end our workday and turn to off-duty mode. But we are still same persons when we are off duty than in work, so that’s why we can’t hire our dirty secrets even if we want to do that.
Public media is a strong weapon in hands of populists. They offer people always something new, but they are an interesting only public image of government. They don’t even care what happens in officials back office. The only way to work in the state is to hire more cops and give their assault weapon in hand. They say this will save taxpayers money when office workers will replace with militarized military style police, what is armed with assault rifles.If a person wants to support totalitarian governments he or she must only butter up leaders. They always argument non democratic way saying that without leaders goes state to anarchy.
Undemocratic forces always like philosopher named Plato, whose model to rule the state makes people impossible to rise in stairs of society, and if somebody realizes what this means understands why those totalitarian thinkers like Plato. If people's positions in society will be stable all of his or her life, will judges or other kinds of people to hear always only what they want to hear? And that guarantees that they see only good things about people who have power in the state. They say that if people's life will be predestined after they born will military leaders get best military training from their own father, and nobody will ever contend with them.
When people want strong leaders they will believe that this man or woman will fix all their problems, and give them new jobs as uniformed men who are above normal citizen. When they want censorship are arguments very cool. They say that if censorship will be a standard, there would not be hoax information, what pollutes people's mind.
Censorship is necessary because people must be protected from hoax information, and their model to work is that government should remove all information what is not right in their opinion will remove. And that is one mark of totalitarian government. If government hides something it marks all information of that thing mark as “top secret”, and that shows people that there is something wrong in that state. Secrecy always makes things more interesting than people think. And if secrecy is massive, will somebody begin to make bad questions about this thing. Why it hurts government? That’s the question of secrecy: why they deny any information about those files, what could be half a century old?
