Addendum this argument feels very selective i.e. that so-called #TauntLeftThe are naive/ignorant about economics whereas the #CharacterisationRightWing aren't. Case in point, consider the logic of #PhenomnBrexit where as #EDUUKUniversityOfOxfordNgaireWoods explains, such decision-making clearly has little to do with economics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kPOdSFKD-Q And logically, more to do #PoliticsNationalismBritish and #OtheringHateXenophobia (made possible through deep-seated #CharacterisationWeaknessGullible.ity of those too #CharacterisationWeaknessFool.ish to realise).

Supplementary "The UK is 'obsesessed [sic] by what divides us rather than what unites us' at a time when it should be pointing out to both aggressors and the oppressed, from people in Ukraine to Hong Kong to Afghanistan, 'the strength and values of a free society'. Speaking at the pro-Trump Heritage Foundation think-tank in Washington DC, Mr Dowden went on: 'Just when our attention should be fixed on external foes we seem to have entered a period of extreme introspection and self-criticism, that threatens to sap our societies of their self-confidence. 'Just when we should be showcasing the vitality of our values and the strength of democratic societies, we seem to be willing to abandon those values, for the sake of appeasing a new groupthink.'" https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/woke-psychodrama-threatens-western-values-tory-chairman-oliver-dowden-tells-pro-trump-think-tank-1460913 #CatchcryIntrospection

#MetaphorVersusHardSoft i.e. "la droite" [the right] are cast as strong where as #TauntWoke are cast as childish / ineffectual / #PhenomnAgencyHumanPowerlessness - and because of the oppositional framing of the metaphor - they are also presumably, also not #CharacterisationRightWing i.e. they are presumably its opposite - #TauntLeftThe - that is, #MetaphorVersusRightWingLeftWing

Supplementary Analysing this meme using Conceptual Metaphor Theory ^[Folksonomy] would position the absurdity (and incongruous nature) of a child's toy car being on the motorway as a 'source domain' and an assumed relationship between supposed "la droite" + "le wokisme" groups as the target domain. In mapping the latter (target) onto the former (source) the resulting concept is that 'woke' are an absurd incongruity. I can only assume that such characterisations provide comfort for those characterised in terms of #TheorySociologySocialInertia The meme revisions the infamous real-life, car-chase of #IRLSportspersonOJSimpson on 17 June 1994: https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-simpson-chase-bronco-helicopter-20190617-story.html #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT

#OrgClassifPPFRRenaissanceREEmmanuelMacron + #OrgClassifPPFRLesRepublicainsLRValeriePecresse i.e. fausse opposition / false opposition

Pécresse states that she will "bring the Kärcher out of the cellar" (a #BrandKarcher is seemingly a vacuum cleaner) to deal with the "violence des nouveaux barbares" i.e. vilifying recent French immigrants à la the classic #CharacterisationRightWing #PhenomnImmigration. In doing so, her comment references #OrgClassifPPFRLesRepublicainsLRNicolasSarkozy, who made a similar statement in 2005 after an 11-year-old boy died in front of his home in #ToponymEuropeFranceParisSeineSaintDenisLaCourneuve ^[Wikipedia]

Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said around 10 per cent of 800 live investigations now involve far-right extremists - a 'significant increase' on previous years. 'It's my fastest growing problem,' he told journalists in central London. However he added that Islamist jihadism was 'still by far globally the biggest threat people face'. 'It has stabilised at a very high level of 30 per cent more than two years ago,' Mr Basu said. 'The extreme right wing is starting from a very low base but a 17 per cent rise in hate crime should make us all pause for thought.' Mr Basu said that rising Islamophobic, antisemitic and racist abuse can be seen as a 'proxy' for increasing extremism, and must be tackled to reduce the terror threat." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/terror-attack-plots-uk-far-right-wing-extremism-threat-met-police-neil-basu-a9112046.html #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism "If Right Wing resurgence was 10% reacting to the 30% Would not dealing heavily with 30% reduce scale of the problem?" #PhenomnTerrorismJihadificationJihad #IRLPoliceNeilBasu ^[Wikipedia] #PowerControlViolencePhysicalDecapitationBeheading #2017_ManchesterArenaBombing #ConspiracyTheory_CabalGroomingGang #IRLPrivateCitizenImtiazMadmood "A woman converting to Islam is like a black person converting to slavery." ^[tweet] #HandleFacebookNastikNation #WebsiteExMuslimMemes #MetaphorTransformationBeforeAndAfter #HandleFacebookEgyptianAtheists ^[jpg] #MetaphorVersusSideBySideDiptych #ToponymAfghanistan #ToponymEastMiddleIran #MetaphorPeriodization1970s #2012_ #PoliticsFreeSociety "Penis when erected points towards heaven defying gravity.

Addendum this music video: #2024_TomMacDonaldMeVsYou https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=najeyO0CuXw reminds me of the same sort of argument, centring the belief that political difference (in this case between #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticParty.s and #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOP.s) is opposite but equal - cancelling each other out i.e. a #ReasoningFallacyZeroSumThinking. ^[Wikipedia] The point that 'politicians are all the same' also feels very #BehaviourDefeatism.ist (saying something about the lack of #PhenomnAgencyEmpowerment that is presumably, felt by those who are making the statement). The obvious question to ask is about who benefits from this position i.e. who's interests does disengaging from politics serve? I'm thinking here of #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump's misjudgement where be infamously told the #OrgSyndicateMilitiaUSProudBoys to #PleaStandBackAndStandBy and then followed on by condemning #CauseAntifa in relation to #PoliticsNationalismWhite violence at the #2017_UniteTheRightRally in #ToponymAmericaNorthUSVirginiaCharlottesville, where he sought to #BehaviourNormalisation.e (and therefore, #BehaviourTrivialisation.e) the violence with his statement: "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides" ^{[fact-checked]}

Presumably the #PleaBuyAPaper hashtag is a response to #CauseActivismEnvironmentalExtinctionRebellion blocking the printing facilities for a number of #CharacterisationRightWing tabloid and newspapers on Friday night (4 September 2020) as a knee-jerk reaction to the protest. #_Riled

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianSteveRose "Like 'politically correct' before it, the word 'woke' has come to connote the opposite of what it means. Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary's definition, woke means 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)', but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don't recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact ... as [Laurence] Fox and others [e.g. Toby Young] have shown, it is as much to do with the issues of racial and social justice. Criticising 'woke culture' has become a way of claiming victim status for yourself rather than acknowledging that more deserving others hold that status. It has gone from a virtue signal to a dog whistle. The language has been successfully co-opted - but as long as the underlying injustices remain, new words will emerge to describe them."

Supplementary #MagazineNZTheSpinoffAliceNeville ^[Wikipedia] "The term political correctness as we know it emerged in the mid-80s - this Aussie social work lecturer at Victoria University was an early adopter - but didn't enter the mainstream consciousness in New Zealand until the 90s, ascending slowly but surely until it was absolutely everywhere by the turn of the millennium. With Helen Clark's government securing a second term in 2002, the war against PC hit its stride: National's shadow education minister Nick Smith was railing against the 'political correctness gone mad' of kapa haka being recognised in the NCEA, and for the next few years 'PC gone mad' went a bit, well, mad. According to Hansard, there were 250 mentions of 'politically correct', 139 mentions of 'political correctness' and 82 for 'PC' during parliamentary debates in the 2002-2005 term, which is as far back as online Hansard goes. (It's possible, I concede, that some of those 82 PCs were referencing the family computer.) 'Politically correct nonsense' was a phrase uttered 18 times and 'PC nonsense' 19 times during those three years, mainly, it would seem, by Nick Smith (social workers being required to learn about the Treaty, councils consulting with iwi, kava ceremonies for public servants, resource management reform and changes to the law around guardianship arrangements for kids were just a handful of his targets)." https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/19-05-2025/how-wokeism-cancelled-political-correctness #MetaphorPeriodization1980s #ToponymOceaniaAustralia #EDUNZVictoriaUniversityOfWellington #ToponymOceaniaNewZealand #OrgClassifPPNZNewZealandLabourPartyHelenClark #2002_ #OrgClassifPPNZNewZealandNationalPartyNickSmith #1840_TeTiritiOWaitangi ^[Wikipedia] #IdentityFirstNationsMaoriKinshipWhakapapa ^[Wikipedia] #IdentityFirstNationsMaoriIwi ^[Wikipedia] #OrgNZGovNZQANewZealandQualificationsAuthorityManaTohuMataurangaOAotearoa ^[Wikipedia] #OrgNZGovNZQANationalCertificateOfEducationalAchievementNCEA ^[Wikipedia] #OrgUKGovHansard
