PEGIDA is the most worrying movement since.... idk, maybe even 1945. And it's rapidly growing.
Number of protesters in Dresden:
1st Dec ~7.500
8th Dec ~10.000
15th Dec ~15.000
I don't really know PEDIGA but it seems they grow up fast because they take an empty seat. Before them there isn't any European movement of this type.
Soon they will reach their maximum and slowly decrease their number, when people will understand the reality.

it's intellectually dangerous to take concepts in psychology that are aimed at explaining individual behavior and then applying them to one's political analysis as a whole.
Maybe this should be split off into a Practice & Propaganda thread, but...
I think capitalists have successfully used psychological / rhetorical methods to co-opt Christianity, "libertarianism", and who knows what else to support capitalism and in fact, resulting in some quite anti-Christian and anti-libertarian views. If they are successful in that, surely similar tactics can be used in other ways.
