Addendum The claim that "The uneducated young soldier, AudieMurphy in WWII, knew nothing of CRT, transgenders or WhiteRage" is pure speculation i.e. #TheoryCognitiveBiasWishfulThinking / #ReasoningTentativeHypothesisConjecture. Also, presumably, the 'ColdWar' reference here is a reference to criticism of #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin's #2022_InvasionOfUkraine - along the lines of similar tweets referencing #NarrativeWarWWIII

"From the MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION 2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw while he remained forward to give fire directions to the artillery. Murphy climbed on a burning tank destroyer, using its .50 caliber machinegun. Alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, he caused their infantry attack to waver. He received a leg wound, but continued until his ammunition was exhausted. Refusing medical attention, he led his company in a counterattack that forced the Germans to withdraw. "I'm sorry, Audie. I'm sorry!"

Babbitt was a U.S. Air Force veteran from California who was shot dead wearing a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders while attempting to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker's Lobby inside the Capitol. Offering military honors to one of the Capitol rioters is part of President Donald Trump's attempts to rewrite that chapter after the 2020 election as a patriotic stand, given he still denies he lost that election.

Context "This sounds like a loose paraphrase of the sense of Daybreak aph. 329 (see also the first half of aph. 542, and the parallel passage in Genealogy of Morals). The necessity of illusions is also the major theme of 'Truth and Lie'. I agree with the earlier comment that, if it has any relation to a particular passage at all, it is a bad paraphrase! It's hard to explain exactly but if you even just skim the relevant passages in Morgenröthe or 'Truth and Lie' you'll see that when he's discussing the sturdiness of illusions he is often discussing the important functions they serve and when he is discussing the pursuit of truth he is often treating it as the product of illusions! So both halves of this quotation sound like something Nietzsche would say (except not in his style...) but not when combined." https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/56290 #1896_OnTruthAndLiesInAnExtraMoralSense #MetaphorVersusTruthIllusion

Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesDavidBlight "But in the same way that Abraham Lincoln has become 'everybody's grandfather,' in the words of the historian David Donald, the one American figure who could be adopted by every part of the political spectrum, Douglass is also appropriated broadly, especially by the American right. ... On the surface Douglass does appear to be self-made -- he was the escaped slave who willed his own freedom, stole the master's language and wrote masterpieces of antislavery literature. But without many people, especially women (his grandmother, two wives, a daughter and countless abolitionist women who supported his career) as well as male mentors, both white and black, he would not have survived and become Douglass. In private, he easily admitted his reliance on friends and associates, and he believed in a theory of history rooted in the Old Testament, in the Exodus story, in collective liberation by God and by events. In 'Self-Made Man,' a new book published by the Cato Institute, the lawyer Timothy Sandefur argues that Douglass's essential legacy lies in his advocacy of liberty, individualism and private property and free enterprise. The radical abolitionist who risked all to use words and politics to free an entire people from slavery was, to Mr. Sandefur, only 'a radical for individualism' and never concerned with 'the interests of the collective.' To believe that, one has to ignore most of Douglass's career, especially his life as an abolitionist, his ferocious attacks on the poison of racism and his brilliant analysis of how lynching emerged from the evils of white supremacy. Douglass believed that freedom was safe only within the state and under law. Douglass did preach self-reliance for his fellow blacks: He argued that the freed slaves should be given their rights, protected and then 'let alone.' But he never employed that 'let alone' dictum without also demanding 'fair play,' and security against terror and discrimination. Conservatives have cherry-picked his words to advance their narrow visions of libertarianism." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/opinion/right-coopts-frederick-douglass.html #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln #IRLHistorianDavidDonald ^[Wikipedia] #TheoryIndividualismCompetitiveSelfMadeManArchetype #PowerControlChattelSlaveryAbolitionism #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfExodus #PoliticsCollectivism #AdvocacyUSCatoInstitute ^[Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUSGoldwaterInstituteTimothySandefur https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/our-team/timothy-sandefur/ #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #PowerControlViolencePhysicalBrutalityLynching #SlurWhiteSupremacy #CatchcryFreedomLiberty #ReasoningFallacyOfIncompleteEvidenceCherryPicking #PoliticsLibertarianism

Written with speechwriter Brent Bozell, the book was a statement of Goldwater's political creed. In chapters that focused on issues such as civil rights, labor relations, and the welfare state, Goldwater called for the 'utmost vigilance and care...to keep political power within its proper bounds.' The national media largely dismissed the book, but Goldwater's vision quickly gained an audience and the book became a best-seller. Today, it is considered a landmark in the development of modern conservatism." ^[Government] #AdvocacyUSMediaResearchCenterMRCLeoBrentBozellIII ^{[Wikipedia] [Wikipedia]} https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/09/january-6-capitol-attack-son-conservative-activist-convicted #IRLPrivateCitizenLeoBrentBozellIV #2020_CapitolSiege #MagazineTheNewRepublicTNRTimothyNoah "Brent ghostwrote Barry Goldwater's book, The Conscience of a Conservative, giving wide play to his Cold War pessimism when the book became a surprise bestseller in 1960.

"Again, as was eloquently and forcefully said by Daniel Webster in the U. S. Senate in 1834: 'The first object of a free people is the preservation of their liberty, and liberty is only to be preserved by maintaining constitutional restraints and just division of political power. Nothing is more deceptive or more dangerous than the pretense of a desire to simplify government. The simplest governments are despotisms; the next simplest, limited monarchies; but all republics, all governments of law, must impose numerous limitations and qualifications of authority and give many positive and many qualified rights. In other words, they must be subject to rule and regulation. This is the very essence of free political institutions. The spirit of liberty is, indeed, a bold and fearless spirit; but it is also a sharp-sighted spirit: it is a cautious, sagacious, discriminating, far-seeing intelligence; it is jealous of encroachment, jealous of power, jealous of man. It demands checks; it seeks for guards; it insists on securities; it entrenches itself behind strong defenses, and fortifies itself with all possible care against the assaults of ambition and passion. It does not trust the amiable weaknesses of human nature, and, therefore, it will not permit power to overstep its prescribed limits, though benevolence, good intent, and patriotic purpose come along with it. Neither does it satisfy itself with flashy and temporary resistance to illegal authority. Far otherwise. It seeks for duration and permanence; it looks before and after; and, building on the experience of ages which are past, it labors diligently for the benefit of ages to" #IRLHistoricalFigureDanielWebster ^[Wikipedia] #1834_ #PoliticsAuthoritarianismDespotism #PoliticsGovernmentLimited #CatchcryBigGovernment #PoliticsGovernanceMonarchy #PoliticsRepublic #PhenomnIntelligenceSagacious #PoliticsRuleOfLaw #CatchcryFreedomLiberty #PowerControlRegulation

His distinctive contribution was to explore how a certain conception of property ownership had shaped liberal thinking about individualism. Beginning with #IRLPhilosopherThomasHobbes, Macpherson argued, one finds a tradition of political theory in which ownership is constitutive of individuality, freedom, and equality. To be an individual is to be an owner--in the first instance, an owner of one's own person and capacities, but also of what one acquires through the use of one's capacities. To be free is to be an owner. Freedom is defined in terms of independence from others, and one is independent only when one has the right to use one's property, including one's abilities, as one chooses. Even equality is linked to ownership, because being an owner of one's own person and capacities is a status that every individual can enjoy equally. In the political theory of possessive individualism society is presumed to consist of relations among independent owners, and the primary task of government is to protect owners against illegitimate incursions upon their property and to maintain conditions of orderly exchange. The notion of ownership here draws upon an understanding of property as private and exclusive, entailing the right of owners to exclude others and to use or dispose of their property as they choose.' This version of individualism is ultimately justified on the grounds that it is congruent with human nature, for human beings are portrayed as bundles of appetites that are, in principle, unlimited and not subject to rational scrutiny. A social world organized around individuals as owners will, it is said, maximize the satisfaction of such desires." (Carens, 1993, p.2) ^[pdf] CARENS, J. H. (1993).
