Parallel question
Yesterday I noted Bachman's evocative question:
What is the most elegant piece of engineering (hardware or software) you know of that is unknown by 99.99% of the population?
A parallel question pops up.
What is the biggest populist or nationalist development that seems to be unnoticed by populists and nationalists?
Easy answer: AMLO.
He's definitely a left-populist, unlike Salvini and Bolsonaro. I've been following his speeches and messages closely, and the pattern is consistent so far. He's also digging in and making a STRONG START on implementing his FDR-style policies. He seems to have a natural empathy and affinity with the poor and unrespected parts of the population, like Mujica in Uruguay.
He deserves more attention from both leftists and nationalists.
