Politics with Fear
\n<\/strong>The shameless normalisation of far-right and right-wing populist discourse<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ruth Wodak has fundamentally revised her bestseller \u201ePolitics with Fear\u201c and incorporated the many developments of right-wing populist parties over the last five years.
\nWhat was unthinkable just a few years ago in terms of linguistic hooliganism, insulting and marginalising minorities and mendacity has now entered the mainstream and become \u201enormalised\u201c in many cases. Hate and racism have become socially acceptable.
\nThere is no longer any need to apologise for lies; bad behaviour is valued as an appealing, attractive means of protesting against so-called \u201eelites\u201c. All of this is linked to a \u201eshift to the right\u201c of the political spectrum in many European countries (and beyond). Pluralist democracies are gradually being undermined.
\nRuth Wodak discusses her observations and findings with Philipp Blom at the Bruno Kreisky Forum.<\/p>\n
