@DorothyKohout [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: @prageru @JeremyDBoreing @JJudahIsaac @amalaekpunobi @VivekGRamaswamy @AmandaEnsing This Prager video gets the definition of #woke wrong in a rather significant way. The injustices aren't invisible unless you make a robust and very deliberate effort to not see them. [URL redacted]

Addendum the tweet criticises the PragerU short for its willingness to ignore #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional (and actually, #TheorySociologyIntersectionality). In this sense, the criticism implies that the piece is best understood as a deliberate, culturally induced form of ignorance i.e. #EpistemologyAgnotologyIgnorance [Wikipedia] #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuousGlibFacile

#NMUSFOXFNCFoxSports "Orlando Magic star Jonathan Isaac has become the first player to refuse to kneel during the national anthem following the restart of the NBA. ...
Every player in the two games on Friday between the Jazz and the Pelicans and the Clippers and the Lakers wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts and knelt for the anthem - some even had their names replaced with powerful messages on the back of their shirts." https://www.foxsports.com.au/basketball/nba/nba-news-2020-black-lives-matter-protest-jonathan-isaac-why-did-he-not-kneel-orlando-magic-brooklyn-nets/news-story/f574ade5c63d74486838f7c96f183e26

#BrandAccessIntelligenceLLCPRNewsGroupSophieMaerowitz [Muckrack] "On Jan. 6 at 2:55 p.m. ET--about 20 minutes after insurrectionists breached the U.S. Capitol building--beauty influencer Amanda Ensing tweeted, 'There's not enough popcorn in the world for what's about to happen.' 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

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).

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. In recent decades, however, there has been a growth in the number of Christian scholars who deny the existence of the soul and affirm some form of materialism." https://christianscholars.com/the-prospect-of-christian-materialism/
