Dear friends, just saw your semi-protection … here is an interesting short paragraph with information from Europe: The philosopher of language and political scientist Paul Sailer-Wlasits has been researching (since more than 20 years) contemporary issues in the field of philosophy of language, focusing on language and violence, hate speech, and demagoguery. Pls. see below, for the article "Demagogue", preferably at the very end of the paragraph "History and definition of the word"; kind regards, Peter Weber
The Austrian philosopher of language and political scientist Paul Sailer-Wlasits differentiates between populism and demagoguery, asserting: "A central aspect that distinguishes populism from demagoguery is that demagogues in politics possess substantial systemic power for mobilization, which poses a serious threat to democracy." In political practice, he argues, a clear indication of demagoguery is when "the person, the party, and the political program merge, manifesting as over-identification and over-personalization in a single leading figure."

In § Scapegoating, please replace the wikisource
"We" are the "true" Americans/{{Zwsp}}Germans/{{Zwsp}}Christians/etc., and "they", the Jews/{{Zwsp}}bankers/{{Zwsp}}communists/{{Zwsp}}capitalists/{{Zwsp}}unions/{{Zwsp}}foreigners/{{Zwsp}}elites/{{Zwsp}}etc.
with
"We" are the "true" {{Zwsp|Americans/|Germans/|Christians/etc.}}, and "they", the {{Zwsp|Jews/|bankers/|communists/|capitalists/|unions/|foreigners/|elites/|etc.}}
This uses a recently added feature of {{Zwsp}} to make the wikisource more concise when there are many zero-width spaces (line-break opportunities) in close proximity. This is not a very important edit; there is zero change to the rendered wikitext. Thank you! 97.102.205.224 (talk) 18:47, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
