> Beware of Frontiers In... journals. They do not have a great reputation

Could you substantiate that? The abstract looks compelling, but I don't want to waste time if this is a trash journal.

They're the ones who published the bizarre AI-generated rat last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39391034

That was my first encounter with Frontiers Media, but they have a...history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontiers_Media#Controversies

In this house, our epistemic standard reflects the content of the message, not who delivered it.

Completely opinionated take: all forms of populism is directly correlated to levels of inequality of wealth in the economy and level of standard of living of the bottom 50%. Everything else is just manifestations of frustration with one’s own situation.
aredox•43m ago
And at the same time populism worsens inequality and isn't punished for it (it gets away with making the elections just a little bit "unfair", it doesn't need full totalitarian control over them and can keep the opposition alive on not-too-tight a leash). Which is the most terrifying thing: it is a self-renforcing loop.

Brain dead garbage that could have been generated by AI, one of a vast literature that attempts to make popular sovereignty seem like a mental illness rather than the only non-supernatural justification for government at all.

They selected a few strongmen, as designated by the CIA, to illustrate their points: Italy, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina. Only while the CIA disapproves of them, though. The CIA always changes their minds about them at exactly the same time they make a break with their past and announce that their country is open for foreign investment. Al Qaeda leaders in expensive suits.

Anti-establishment populists, the "good" kind, are represented by the organizations that employ people to write garbage like this, and whose primary messaging is that power can be wielded by loving and believing hard enough, and that everyone who does anything to threaten any institution is completely dominated and motivated by hate, cynicism, or ambition. We don't hate them, we love them, so to help them they should be under mandatory therapy; and to protect us, maybe that therapy should be done in a prison.
