Context tweet responding to #NMUSCNBCClarettaBellamy "A woman whose wig was ripped off her head by a man as she was walking in New York City early Monday said she now wants to take legal action. The woman, known online as Lizzy Ashliegh, posted a video on TikTok of an incident that she said took place near Penn Station around 1 a.m., when a man ripped off a turquoise wig from her head. In the video, which had over 500,000 views Wednesday evening, Ashliegh, who is audibly distraught, asks the man, 'For what reason did you take my wig off?' The man appears intoxicated and laughs when he is questioned." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/new-york-man-fired-woman-accused-ripping-wig-street-rcna87079 #IRLMusicianLizzyAshliegh

Addendum noticeably, such memes generally focus the perpetrators of gun crime while failing to mention a key precondition - that of easy access to firearms as guaranteed by the #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms. #TheoryOfAffordances i.e. guns are lethal devices whose design are intrinsically linked to their violent potential e.g. [academic source] [pdf] Versus #TheoryInstrumentalism 'value neutral' arguments such as those of the #AdvocacyUSNationalRifleAssociationNRA e.g. "guns don't kill people; people kill people" (thereby absolving gun advocates, gun manufactures etc. of any responsibility). #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople

Addendum it's interesting that they've used the #MetaphorBowling in this meme. Presumably, in the way that the image shows an ordered set of white bowling pins, which are being targeted by a formidable i.e. #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryBrute (?) looking black-coloured bowling ball. Combined with the 'Jews' label, the meme unambiguously, follows a similar logic to the 'HowToRuinACity' meme below. While used in a very different way, I'm reminded that #IRLScientistPoliticalRobertPutnam [Wikipedia] also used a bowling metaphor, in his case however, to talk about the breakdown of American society through an overemphasis on #TheoryIndividualismPossessive, which he explored in his influential paper #1995_BowlingAloneAmericasDecliningSocialCapital - where the act of bowling necessitates group engagement and participation in shared activities (such as bowling).

The documents include Red Cross travel documents issued mistakenly to Nazis in the postwar chaos. They throw light on how and why mass murderers such as Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele and Klaus Barbie and thousands of others evaded capture by the allies.

Context #AdvocacyUKInstituteForStrategicDialogueISD "Koestler's theory has been instrumentalised to promote antisemitism. In these channels, the terms 'Khazars' and 'Khazarian Mafia' have been used to describe Jewish people similar to how 'Rothschild' and 'Zionist' are used, ostensibly to soften antisemitic statements. More insidiously, the claim that Ashkenazi are not descendants of Israelites, but Khazars, allows antisemites plausible deniability by claiming that they only oppose 'fake Jews' and 'impostors'" https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/an-antisemitic-conspiracy-theory-is-being-shared-on-telegram-to-justify-russias-invasion-of-ukraine/ #2022_InvasionOfUkraine #IRLAuthorArthurKoestler #ConspiracyTheory_CabalRothschildDynasty #PoliticsNationalismJewishZionism #OtheringHateAntisemitism

"Quote from a Hungarian Jew from the Documentary, The Last Days: 'People wonder, 'How is it that we didn't do something?' We didn't run away, we didn't hide. Well, Things didn't happen at once. Things happened very slowly. So each time a new law came out, or a new restriction, we said, 'Well, just another thing. It will blow over.'

Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers would have us believe that the evil of being encouraged to get a vaccine is the same as the project of ethnic labeling and cleansing undertaken by the Third Reich. It appears at first a farcical analogy, but it's not without its dangers. And in appropriating deep symbols of Jewish pain, these bad actors undermine not only the gravity, nuance and suffering of the Holocaust, but also of centuries of historical antisemitism, in service to their need to be public martyrs. They cast about for some touchstone for their perceived injustice, landing on the Holocaust as the ultimate exemplar of persecution in the modern era. In so doing, Holocaust-invokers add themselves to a long and sad history of borrowing the pain of others to lend credence to their own" https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/06/01/antivaxxers-yellow-stars-holocaust/ (1 June 2021) #PhenomnCulturalAppropriation #ReasoningFallacyFalseEquivalence #OtheringHateAntisemitism Also, [fact-checked]

#MagazineUSTheAtlanticAliBreland "The current moment looks a lot like fusionism 2.0: The uniting through line of opposing communism has been replaced by an opposition to 'wokeness,' as the University of Virginia historian David Austin Walsh has observed. The similarities between the political moments provide a rough model for how the new MAGA coalition might persist. In the original fusionism, communism was almost always a bigger deal than whatever libertarians and social conservatives didn't see eye to eye on. This worked because 'communism' never just meant one thing. It could be invoked to oppose the Soviet Union and the literal ideology of communism, to thwart the supposedly communist-infilitrated civil-rights and anti-war movements, or to refer to anything related to left-wing politics. Wokeness now serves that function on the right. It's no coincidence that wokeness is a rebranded version of the right's previous bogeyman: 'cultural Marxism.' As Musk has ripped up federal agencies in a supposed effort to reduce government waste, a lot of what DOGE has actually focused on is rooting out perceived wokeness."
