Thanks for the article. I have written about similar topics, partly based on my experiences of being an active/registered liberal in Sweden. The thing is that liberalism has a history of being against or skeptic representative democracy, meaning democracy with political representation in parliaments, but also being in favor of "decentralised" democracy as in civic society and local level meetings and civic assemblies.
One of the major problems with populism is that it that it goes against (liberal) constitutional and democratic values, and also that populism neglected global problems and challenges. In practice, there is no national nor (national) popular sovereignty as regarding climate change, AI and nuclear explosions.
I have not read Yascha's books yet and as I understand, he argues that liberals should accept nationalism and prevent more people from migrating around the world. I think that such behaviours are also bad for democracy because the idea is to keep democracy within nations instead of globalising it, as via World Parliament, and decentralising it as via more decisions taken locally and in communities.
