#AdvocacyUSPeopleForTheAmericanWayPFAWRightWingWatch [Wikipedia] "Thompson is just one of many members of the white nationalist movement in the United States that attempted to reinvent its public image with the 'alt-right' moniker and rose to a flash of influence in Republican politics amid the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump. Leading up to that political moment, a clique of the movement's believers had situated themselves inside GOP-aligned institutions and media outlets in and around Washington, where they used the resources at their disposal to advance their cause. Thompson's career took him inside the Leadership Institute, a pillar of the conservative movement for more than 40 years, and ultimately to the right-wing tabloid-style website, WorldNetDaily.

#EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaRitaAbrahamsen, #EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaMichaelWilliams "Ahmari's essay on dystopia begins by observing that 'Those of us who inhabit the Very Online Right like to point out how this or that new social phenomenon resembles this or that dystopian fiction. ... these resemblances to fictional dystopias should arrest us' (Ahmari 2021). Then he asks, 'What if dystopia is already here? What if our territory already conforms to maps drawn long ago by science-fiction authors? Could it be that we have crossed the invisible frontier that divides an ordinary place, an ordinary topos, from a dystopian realm?' Indeed, Ahmari is effusive in lauding the ability of dystopian fiction to place issues of the day (such as 'cancel culture, woke-ism and gender ideology') within wider frameworks that 'uncover the deeper currents shaping our age.' He sees these contemporary phenomena as 'merely the acceleration of older and deeper processes of ideological transformation' that dystopian fiction can help expose." Abrahamsen, R. and M. C.

#IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Viewed against that history, Musk's line about 'abolishing' the EU [tweet] [jpeg] is more than a libertarian thought experiment. It condenses the political slogans of Trumpism and Brexit into one sentence: the nation-state as the only legitimate unit of sovereignty; supranational institutions as inherently undemocratic; the EU as something done to people, not by them. Medvedev's one-word response - 'Exactly' - makes plain how neatly this dovetails with Moscow's long-term ambitions. As former president and now deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, he has become one of the regime's most aggressive public voices, regularly threatening Europe with escalation and calling for a remade world order. When he endorses the abolition of the EU, he is not being rhetorical; he is restating a core Kremlin objective that has underpinned years of covert finance, disinformation and interference. The screenshot collapses those agendas into a single image: a leading Russian official cheerleading the destruction of the EU, and a tech mogul with his hand on the levers of global speech amplifying the same idea." https://pdjukes.substack.com/p/musk-medvedev-and-the-long-war-on #OrgEU #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaDmitryMedvedev [tweet] #PhenomnBrexit

Supplementary "An essential feature of the rise of Trumpism has been the brazen inversion, that trusty maneuver in which you wield your critics' own values against them -- say, borrowing the language of social justice to argue that the "oppressor" is actually oppressed or suddenly embracing progressive social causes in the service of criticizing Islam. It's a blunt but effective rhetorical confiscation, in which a battle-ready right relishes its ability to seize, inhabit and neutralize the arguments and vocabularies of its opponents, reveling in their continued inability to formulate any sort of answer to the trusty old 'I know you are, but what am I?' There's something similar in the right's gradual appropriation of the word 'alternative' -- an appropriation that, for lack of a stronger claim by disappearing alt-weeklies or leftist publishers, seems to be working. 'They just want me to be the devil because I'm the alternative media,' said the Trump-approved conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, after his recent interview with NBC News's Megyn Kelly. That description might seem incongruous, but it's increasingly standard on the right to characterize sites like Jones's Infowars, The Gateway Pundit and even Breitbart as 'alternative.' Plenty of others have followed suit: Media Matters for America, the left-leaning watchdog group, uses 'alternative' to describe the same constellation of right-wing publishers and pundits that has been referred to as the 'pro-Trump media,' or in the formulation of the BuzzFeed News reporter Charlie Warzel, the 'upside down' -- a reference to the nightmarish parallel dimension of Netflix's camp horror series 'Stranger Things.'" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/27/magazine/why-the-far-right-wants-to-be-the-new-alternative-culture.html And #IRLPhilosopherSlavojZizek #OrgUKTheOxfordUnionSociety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=545x4EldHlg&t=1830s (1 January 2019) #IRLAuthorAngelaNagle #2017_KillAllNormies #CatchcryAltRightCounterCulture #IRLScholarErvingGoffman's #TheorySociologyDramaturgyBehaviourBackStage #TheoryMaterialismChristian i.e. "Christians have affirmed the existence of the soul, its survival of death and its re-embodiment at the final resurrection.
