Context response [tweet] to this article: #MagazineNewsweekDavidBenMoshe "Watching the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, I observed the same pattern: Everyone saw injustice, but the two conflicting narratives also lacked nuance. The Right saw a hero being dragged through an unjust court system, a victim of media demonization. The Left saw a white supremacist who drove 'across state lines' to kill peaceful protesters demanding dignity for Black Americans. The assumptions of both sides were proven false in the courtroom: Rittenhouse certainly made poor decisions, but that doesn't make him a criminal. Criminals are convicted in a court of law by a jury based on the available evidence. That is justice. Huge amounts of time, energy, and money have been spent on a dysfunctional conversation that is encouraging a violent reality, instead of what we need: a better future. We should be having serious discussions about gun laws, self-defense laws, and the ability of our system to keep law and order on the streets. Because in a reality where civilian teenagers can legally walk the streets with assault rifles while the rioters loot and burn cities, people will die. Our national conversation shouldn't be limited to high-profile cases such as Rittenhouse and Blake. There are vigilante murders happening every day in America, most occurring in Black communities, with innocents getting hit in the crossfire." https://www.newsweek.com/im-black-ex-felon-im-glad-kyle-rittenhouse-free-opinion-1652402 #IRLPrivateCitizenKyleRittenhouse #CharacterisationMonsterDemonisation #PoliticsNationalismWhiteSupremacy #PleaDefenceSelf #IRLPrivateCitizenJacobBlake #ToponymAmericaNorthUSWisconsinKenosha

Supplementary "Another topic commonly 'associated with minorities and immigrants is crime and violence.' (van Dijk, 2012: 23). Often, crime is talked in conjunction with influx of 'illegal' immigrants, and as a result of this crime reporting becomes 'ethnicized'. An example of this is a Daily Mail article by Jack Doyle and Stephen Wright in 2012[3], of which the title is ''Immigrant crimewave' warning: Foreign nationals were accused of a QUARTER of all crimes in London'. The setup and layout of the headline sets out to demonise the 'foreigners', the sentence is graphically emphasized through employment of capitals to increase tension and build drama. The techniques employed are 'involved in the enactment, expression or inculcation of negative beliefs about immigrants and minorities, and thus contribute to racism.' (van Dijk, 2000: 41). This form of discourse continues throughout: 'A string of horrendous attacks carried out by Eastern European criminals in recent months has raised concerns over the lack of checks on new arrivals.' The word 'horrendous' is used here to emphasise the feelings of terror and shock. The article finishes with a statistic, 'More than 11,000 foreign national offenders are behind bars in England and Wales.' This statistic is obviously going to have a shocking effect on readers, yet they haven't elaborated on what type of crimes they are imprisoned for, which obviously makes a difference. Writing the article in this way indicates hatred towards the foreigners, with almost xenophobic attitudes. The hyperbolic journalistic style employed here alienates the foreigners and therefore creates racist attitudes that get read by the public." https://medium.com/@anyaphillips1/racism-and-the-press-77c8e8180382 van Dijk, T.

"Problem is Kung-flu is a masterful piece of lampooning, that lost art which saw Victorians cartooning farting Kings and politicians in Punch magazine. The PC world, the hijackers of words like ISLAMOPHOBE (of sound provenance dating back to Greek in use 1300 years before Mohammed in a New Testament reference to FEAR of the Jews, of all things), the Woke, the BAME (who know not Wilberforce) the genderfluids, the misandrists, the feminista- shortlista's have destroyed the kind of satirical comedy of TWTWTW, Monty Python, Spitting Image (even Dad's Army, 'Allo,'Allo and Hi-de- hi)." #PoliticallyCorrectPC #IdentityBlackAsianAndMinorityEthnicBAME [Government] #IRLHistoricalFigureWilliamWilberforce ? #OtheringHateMisandry #CauseFeminism "feminista-shortlista" ? #TVThatWasTheWeekThatWasTWTWTW ?

Context "President Trump's first use of the phrase 'kung flu' -- during a campaign rally in Tulsa last weekend -- drew broad political backlash as a racist slur against Asian Americans. Within three days, however, it was also something else: a rallying cry for his supporters." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/with-kung-flu-trump-sparks-backlash-over-racist-language--and-a-rallying-cry-for-supporters/2020/06/24/485d151e-b620-11ea-aca5-ebb63d27e1ff_story.html #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #SlurKungFlu #AdvocacyTurningPointTPUSAAction #ToponymAmericaNorthUSOklahomaTulsa #IdentityAmericanAsian "Donald Trump used racist language to describe the coronavirus pandemic at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by terming the virus as the 'kung flu'. ... Trump has repeatedly tried to term Covid-19 as the 'Chinese virus' or the 'Wuhan virus' which has prompted outrage from many civil liberties groups, who have warned that such language can inspire racism and violence against Asian Americans. But in Tulsa Trump appeared to go even further in his use of racist language. 'It has more names than any disease in history. I can name kung flu. I can name 19 different versions of names,' he said to cheers from the crowd. Trump has previously defended his language around linking the virus to China. Speaking at a daily coronavirus task force briefing in March, he said it was 'not racist at all. It comes from China. I want to be accurate.'" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/20/trump-covid-19-kung-flu-racist-language #ConditionVirusCOVID19 #SlurChinaWuhanVirus #CauseCivilLiberties
Supplementary "Using the concept of displaced abjection, this chapter discusses how the Trump carnival, populist as it is, is not focused on ridiculing or challenging elites, but instead punching down, by targeting marginalized groups. Through displaced abjection, we see how the Trump carnival is centered on licensing and encouraging transgressions against specific democratic norms that affirm human dignity and equality. Trump, by humiliating and insulting age-old enemies, translates what is broadly considered unacceptable and undemocratic behavior into a transgressive, carnivalesque politics of violating fundamental democratic norms of equality, dignity, and pluralism" (Gaufman, E. & Ganesh, B., 2024, p.51,52).

Addendum this justification has multiple problems. It seeks to conflate genuine satire (related to the criticism of imbalances of power) with Trump's ham-fisted racial slur. And then, it attempts to justify the bullying by using #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTradition (as if the process of repeating a slur transforms it into critique). It then uses a #ReasoningFallacyWhataboutism to justify #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim through conflating it with #OtheringHateAntisemitism (as if the forms of discrimination are somehow opposed to each other - rather than simply being two different forms - and so, are able to cancel each other out). It then attempts to pass off a generalised attack on various issues, which have received significant profile contemporarily i.e. #_CondemnationGender followed up with a plug for some dated #LiteralClassicBritishTV (whose humour is the product of the time when they were produced).
