examples: Stenfeldt’s research on Nils Flyg’s and Sven Olov Lindholm’s transition from far-left to the far-right and vice versa during the interwar years is a great example of how Freeden’s morphology of ideologies can be used to not only study ideologies of the far-right, but also to study how ideologies relate to each other and to conduct comparisons between them.
In another worrying development for Germany’s mainstream, the fledgling Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) – a far-left party that has questioned the country’s support for Ukraine and shares some of the AfD’s anti-immigration streak – came third in both states, despite only being founded earlier this year.

Daniels Shadow Proof Inc. of Boston last week invaded the $50,000,000-a-year men's toiletries market with a carnation-scented, flesh-colored paste which will camouflage 5 o'clock shadow and banish that unshaven look. At Manhattan's Macy's, one excited employee hailed it as " the biggest thing since wired brassieres. " A stubble-bearded conservative quipped: " You don't look like you need a shave. You just look embalmed. " But Founder Daniels figured his foxhole gag might be a good idea. Among his first users was blue-bearded he-man Clark Gable.

examples: Their abode is heaven; and the Akh, by contrast with the Ba, does not retain any relation to the body.… It is a deceased, a transcendent being, without earthly or material ties; and, as such, it is the most spiritualized of the various concepts of the dead.
After spending the night asleep in their tombs, the akhs would wake each morning at sunrise and “come forth from the necropolis” to enjoy an ideal life, free from the cares of physical existence.
The akh would later become the state achieved when the ba and ka are rejoined.
If a person’s ka and ba were not reunited and akh failed to develop, then everlasting life would not occur.
Different postmortem aspects of the individual are mentioned in ritual texts, so that it is unclear how they relate to one another: the ka (what leaves the body when death occurs), the ba (the personality of the individual), and the akh (a glorified bodily form).
