Opposition to populism; rejection of political movements claiming to represent ordinary people against elites.
From anti- (against) + populism (political appeal to common people). Populism itself comes from Latin populus. This term gained prominence in the 20th century as scholars distinguished between populist and anti-populist political philosophies.
Antipopulism is basically saying 'don't trust politicians who claim they alone speak for regular people'—it's about being skeptical of oversimplified us-versus-them politics.
