Addendum the tweet criticises the PragerU short for its willingness to ignore #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional (and actually, #TheorySociologyIntersectionality).

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 #BrandSephora #2020_CapitolSiege #MemeAmusedEatingPopcorn #IRLPersonalityInfluencerGabrielZamora #OtheringCaricatureImperialismBlackfaceBlackfishing #ToponymAmericaSouthPuertoRico

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification ^[Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue ^[Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange ^[Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

Addendum the song's lyrics present a plea for a return to a #NarrativeStableMorality, one which fails to recognise the intrinsic #CatchcryCriticalThinking nature of that education and which diminishes the urgency of efforts to address #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional whose #PhenomnProtestDemonstration.s have been galvanised through #IRLDeceasedGeorgeFloyd's untimely death. I can only assume that this has been born out of #EpistemologyAgnotologyIgnorance or a distinct lack of #BehaviourEmpathy or perhaps, a #BehaviourCynicism, which seeks to exploit the opportunity for financial gain...

Supplementary #EDUUSUniversityVirginiaTechMattGabriele ^[skeet] "Those claims by the Right, however, seem at first glance to not make sense. They state that they represent the will of the people and want to terrorize those they consider 'tyrants.' And yet, they themselves have tried to overturn a legitimate election and more recently enacted sweeping voter suppression laws across several states in order to cement their own hold on power. In addition, the Right and their enablers rush to stake out absolutist positions related to 'religious liberty' or 'freedom of speech' but then cheer on (or directly use) state power to limit just those liberties and freedoms they purport to support. For example, they assert 'liberty' to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community, and assert 'freedom' to legislate against mask-wearing during a global pandemic or to ban the teaching of history they don't agree with. ... Over the course of 1792-94, the avatars of the 'will of the people' continued to narrow. It was no longer the legislature as a whole, composed of hundreds of delegates that embodied the 'will of the people,' but it specifically became the Committee of Public Safety led by Robespierre. He vocalized the public will and embodied the public good so that those who disagreed became existential enemies of France herself who needed to be eliminated. Hence, we wind up with the Terror -- denunciations and mass executions of perceived enemies both at home and abroad. The Terror, Furet argued, was only ended when Robespierre lost control of the discourse and no longer embodied the public will, so he himself became a threat and was executed. Contemporary America hasn't, of course, reached its own Terror. But the parallels between the modes of discourse in the late eighteenth- and early twenty-first centuries are striking. The Right has adopted an authoritarian mode of discourse because they think they embody the will of the people, the nation itself, and so are the only legitimate political actors." https://prof-gabriele.medium.com/on-guillotines-and-the-american-right-de0343b72341 ^[Wikipedia] #WebsiteFiveThirtyEightNateSilver "'But I have a theory about how they missed the Trump train,' he continued. 'They don't hang out with regular folks like us who like to hunt and fish and pray and actually work for a living.

These politicians, implicitly and often explicitly, usually have certain people in mind when they refer to 'real Americans.' They often mean white people without college degrees -- the so-called 'white working class.' They usually mean practicing Christians. Their examples usually refer to people in the South or the Midwest -- not East Coast elites or West Coast hippies." https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/only-20-percent-of-voters-are-real-americans/ #OtheringLegitimacyRealAmericans #EpistemologyAgnotologyBased #IdentityClassBlueCollarWhite
