Abstract:
|
Populist and extremist actors gain popularity by promoting their ideas online. This extensive advertising strategy has led to an increase in votes for populist parties/politicians and in membership numbers for extremist groups. Although there are speculations in media reports that the simple worldview created by populists contributes to more extreme positions, no study tested whether extremists rely on populist communication in their communiqués. The current study therefore investigated whether populist communication styles are present in extremist propaganda. A quantitative content analysis (N = 51) on extremist YouTube videos (n = 25 right-wing extremist, n = 26 Islamist extremist) was conducted to analyze potential differences between ideologies. The results demonstrate that 30% of videos display all three elements of populism (people centrism, anti-elitism and restoration of sovereignty). However, multilevel analysis revealed only small differences between ideologies regarding the use of populist communication. The discussion will focus on implications of populist communication in extremist videos and potential prevention strategies.
