That Scientism and Populism are "evil twins of civic discourse that drive out the sober and deliberative judgments that can help a nation hold together and flourish" is almost an understatement.
As feared, Techno-populism is soaring in Britain as Boris Johnson is takes a swan dive off the 10-meter board straight into climate change hysteria and a Green New Deal for England.
No 2020 presidential candidate presents the pure Technocrat plus pure Populist platform better than Andrew Yang. He is notably different than the extreme socialist or leftist candidates and should be recognized as a Techno-populist.
Italy's populist movement continues to embrace Technocracy to form a natural alliance called 'Technopopulism'. The first TN articles appeared in mid-2018, and now the globalist Financial Times has noticed.
Leftists are revolting in the streets around the world to protest any existing status quo, but as they unwittingly merge with Technocracy that they could conceivably hate just as much, they are fomenting the rise of Technopopulism.

This article casts Patrick Wood as a "conspiracy theory propagandist" who "indicts technocrats as leaders in globalist plots to control the masses." This is the same technique used in the 1970s to deflect analysis of the Trilateral Commission. This is a must-read article that shows the nexus between populism and Technocracy, which will make way for full-blown Technopopulism in America.
