@DorothyKohout [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: @prageru @JeremyDBoreing @JJudahIsaac @amalaekpunobi @VivekGRamaswamy @AmandaEnsing This Prager video gets the definition of #woke wrong in a rather significant way. The injustices aren't invisible unless you make a robust and very deliberate effort to not see them. [URL redacted]

Addendum the tweet criticises the PragerU short for its willingness to ignore #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional (and actually, #TheorySociologyIntersectionality). In this sense, the criticism implies that the piece is best understood as a deliberate, culturally induced form of ignorance i.e. #EpistemologyAgnotologyIgnorance [Wikipedia] #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuousGlibFacile

#BrandAccessIntelligenceLLCPRNewsGroupSophieMaerowitz [Muckrack] "On Jan. 6 at 2:55 p.m. ET--about 20 minutes after insurrectionists breached the U.S. Capitol building--beauty influencer Amanda Ensing tweeted, 'There's not enough popcorn in the world for what's about to happen.' A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media.
Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain. (No evidence has refuted Ensing's half-Puerto Rican heritage, although critics have alleged a misleading opportunistic and "rebrand")." https://www.prnewsonline.com/sephora-influencer-PR-Ensing

These criticisms are not especially powerful, since they are largely predicated on a nostalgic desire to hold onto those specific standards regardless of their tenability... Postmodern conservatives increasingly regard strong truth claims about knowledge and morality with active suspicion and even hostility. This is because they regard the intellectual and cultural 'elites' who produce knowledge and popularize moral norms as progressive, abstract, and unlikely to sympathize with their concerns.

Addendum postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/

The higher up a hierarchy a lobster climbs, this brain mechanism helps make more serotonin available. ... According to Peterson, hierarchies in humans work in a similar way - we are wired to live in them." https://theconversation.com/psychologist-jordan-peterson-says-lobsters-help-to-explain-why-human-hierarchies-exist-do-they-90489 #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyStratificationSocialLobsterKing #NMUKITVChannel4NewsCathyNewman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54&t=413s #CauseEqualityGenderPayGap
Addendum postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/

Addendum I assume that the #CatchcryTrumpTrain reference is part of some sort campaign slogan (making use of alliteration). Update, see: http://trigg.gr/t/15739
