4. I'm not saying there isn't positive populism.

The Nazis actually started as a fringe movement too with little support, but as the depression in Germany kept progressing, it gained popular support from Germans. I just find it interesting that during rough times, people tend to react emotionally rather than assess the root of the problem rationalistically when rationalism is actually needed most. My morale is just down, but this is probably the worst time for those with an activist awareness to wallow in self pitty like a little bitch.
