Populism alone isn’t bad. Sometimes, it’s the only way to get a perspective or idea out there, and make it not seem like a taboo anymore. And some ideas out there are worth supporting.
Do you have any evidence that populism is inherently bad? Yes or no? Incidents can be easily rebuked with incidents where populism has allowed progress or improvement into quality of living. So, if incidents is all you have, simply say no.
What you’re arguing is based on the assumption that populism is and has always been used by demagogues, and as populism is rather more accurately described as a political campaign strategy, it only requires one example to tear down the always assumption. All I need to point out is Bernie Sanders and the results of his works makes it so that understanding the questionable aspect of our own society is not to be seen as taboo, and making healthcare more accessible as well as reducing wage gaps is not a bad thing. In fact, he alone enabled a faster rate of political shift to that direction and removed the taboo of those stances. Your stance should be that populism is questionable, rather than a firm always bad as that can be teared down by examples of people trying to raise the flaws of socio-economic structures.
One could argue anything as bad if it has been used by demagogues. Moderation is even a example. You could argue that moderates enables a form of negative peace by allowing structure of society to retain gaps between people, and arguably leads to increase of gaps by simply pushing asides forces that wants to address those gaps. Moderates could be argued to lead to Trumpism due to those observation.
At the end of the day, what matters is the impact of political strategies and whether they have been used to benefit others. It is how they’re used that matters at the end of the day.
From the brief looks in congress.gov, so many legislature that has been voted on by Bernie Sanders also has passed, so there has been some of his policies that aren’t dead on arrival. The DOA legislature thing is like criticizing a legislator for not getting things done when political atmosphere prevents said legislator from getting things done. So, I’m not seeing a good jab here. At the end of the day, he opened the floodgates to discussion of socio-economic structure of our society, and nothing should be closed unless there’s a very good reason to do so, and that is indeed a positive result, and yes, it shows populism isn’t always a bad thing.
Who exactly isn’t a problem to you or haven’t been a problem? Given that you haven’t really responded to the observation that even moderation can be a problem, I’m guessing a moderate, and it would be very easy to spot a policy that is conservative which leads to Trumpism. And you know you want me to avoid pointing that out, and you probably want me to avoid pointing out negative peace issues.
The second paragraph is more about pointing to moderate stances leading into Trumpism. How does it do that? By pushing out rhetorics that shines a light into our structures and by simply hiding problems like systematic racism in the name of order. The second paragraph is not about populism, but as a observation of how anything can be argued to be bad.
You need to demonstrate that it’s a faceless problem given that younger people are having far more struggles. So far, you failed to provide that case.
Trumpism did have it roots within conservative policies years ago. You can either trace it back to Nixon, or the observation of the political party switch after the Civil Rights movement. The hatred that are seen within Trumpism has always been there. It isn’t populism at all, and I’d argue it never has been any more than other political campaign strategies. And yes, there are Reagan voters that proudly support Trump as the conservative mindset of hatred were always there.
From the design perspective, it suffers from two issues.
Issue #1 - The fact that it still benefits the first turn by far more than the second turn. Ash Blossom has this issue while it doesn’t have the next issue I’ll mention as it’s a one for one exchange. And yes, I will say that for other hand traps too. Nibiru is the only exception I can think of that doesn’t benefit first turn, while Gamma is a decent attempt at avoiding the first turn benefit issue. First turn shouldn’t be able to reap the benefit from the hand traps at all.
Furthermore, all you need to take a look at Spright or Ishizu Tears at full power. Basically, those decks breaks the idea that hand traps are meant to stop first turn from accumulating much advantage as they could ignore second turn hand traps while setting a board.
Issue #2 - Nowaday, draws are enormous advantage generation, and the shoddy designs of making special summons the new normal summons doesn’t help that matter. So, unless a deck can stop with a decent board, or ignores Maxx “C” like flowandereeze, there is no good choice for the player under Maxx “C”.
So, there isn’t really a good reason to support bringing Maxx “C” back at all. There isn’t really a debate about this either in the TCG. It has been concluded at this point in my opinion.
