Supplementary: #MagazineUSTheNewYorkerPaigeWilliams "In September, 2020--four months after the murder of George Floyd, two months before the Presidential election, and a month into Williamson County Schools' use of Wit & Wisdom--Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist, appeared on Tucker Carlson's show, on Fox News, and called critical race theory 'an existential threat to the United States.' Rufo capitalized on the fact that, given C.R.T.'s academic provenance, few Americans had heard of the concept. He argued that liberal educators, under the bland banner of 'diversity,' were manipulating students into thinking of America not as a vibrant champion of democracy but as a shameful embodiment of white supremacy.
(As he framed things, there were no in-between positions.) Rufo later called C.R.T. 'the perfect villain'--a term that 'connotes hostile, academic, divisive, race-obsessed, poisonous, elitist, anti-American views.'
Rufo found a receptive ear in President Donald Trump, who was already ranting about 'The 1619 Project,' the collection of Times Magazine essays in which slavery is placed at the heart of the nation's founding. On Twitter, Trump had warned that the Department of Education would defund any school whose classroom taught material from the project. Trump conferred with Rufo and banned federal agencies from conducting 'un-American propaganda training sessions' involving 'critical race theory' or 'white privilege.' Trump said that Black Lives Matter protests were proliferating not because of anger over police abuses but because of 'decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools.' Establishing a '1776 Commission,' he urged 'patriotic moms and dads' to demand that schools stop feeding children 'hateful lies about this country.' (The American Historical Association condemned the Administration's eventual '1776 Report,' highlighting its many inaccuracies and arguing that it attempted to airbrush history and 'elevate ignorance about the past to a civic virtue.')
Nearly nine hundred school districts nationwide were soon targeted by anti- C.R.T. campaigns, many of which adopted language that closely echoed Trump's order not to teach material that made others 'feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex.' In some red states, the vague wording was enshrined as law. Republicans filed what became known as 'anti-C.R.T.' bills; they were seemingly cut and pasted from templates, with similarly phrased references to such terms as 'divisive concepts' and 'indoctrination.'
Williamson County Schools was uneventfully wrapping up its first term with Wit & Wisdom when, in early December, 2020, the American Legislative Exchange Council, which generates model legislation for right-leaning lawmakers, hosted a Webinar about 'reclaiming education and the American dream.' A representative of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank, warned that elements of a 'Black Lives Matter curriculum' were 'now in our schools.' Rufo--correctly predicting that Joe Biden, then the President- elect, would abolish Trump's executive order--urged state legislators and governors to take up the fight.
Continuing the agitation wasn't just an act of fealty to Trump; it was cunning politics. The fear that C.R.T. would cause children to become fixated on race has resonated with enough voters to help tip important elections. Last November, Glenn Youngkin, a candidate for the governorship of Virginia, won an upset victory after repeatedly warning that the 'curriculum has gone haywire'--and promising to sign an executive order banning C.R.T. from schools. Jatia Wrighten, a political scientist at Virginia Commonwealth University, told the Washington Post that Youngkin had 'activated white women to vote in a very specific way that they feel like is protecting their children.'
Days after the alec Webinar on 'reclaiming education,' three women in Florida filed incorporation papers for Moms for Liberty, Inc., later declaring that their 'sole purpose' was to 'fight for parental rights' to choose what sort of education was best for their kids. One of the organization's founders, Tina Descovich--who had recently lost reëlection to the school board of Brevard County, Florida, after opposing pandemic safety protocols--soon appeared on Rush Limbaugh's show. Declaring plans to 'start with school boards and move on from there,' she said of like-minded parents, 'It sounds a little melodramatic, but there is evil working against us on a daily basis.' maga media--'Tucker Carlson Tonight,' Breitbart--showcased Moms for Liberty. Media Matters, the liberal watchdog, argued that influential right-wing media figures were essentially 'recruiting their eager audience' for the Moms' campaign.
Moms for Liberty, which is sometimes referred to as M4L or MFL, is so new that it is hard to parse, from public documents, what its leaders are getting paid. (The founders say that the chairs of local chapters are volunteers.) The group describes itself as a 'grassroots' organization, yet its instant absorption by the conservative mediasphere has led some critics to suspect it of being an Astroturf group--an operation secretly funded by moneyed interests. Moms for Liberty registered with the I.R.S. as the kind of social-welfare nonprofit that can accept unlimited dark money." https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/07/the-right-wing-mothers-fuelling-the-school-board-wars #AdvocacyUSManhattanInstituteForPolicyResearchChristopherRufo #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #TheorySociologyCriticalRaceTheoryCRT #SlurWhiteSupremacy #PhenomnPolarisationDivisiveIssue #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated #PoliticsNationalismAmericanAnti #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #Cause1619Project #PhenomnWhitePrivilege #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM #TauntIndoctrination #1776_Commission #1776_USDeclarationOfIndependence4thOfJuly #PoliticsPatriotism #OrgUSAmericanHistoricalAssociationAHA #AdvocacyUSAmericanLegislativeExchangeCouncilALEC #AdvocacyUSTheHeritageFoundation #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPGlennYoungkin #IRLScientistPoliticalJatiaWrighten #EDUUSVirginiaCommonwealthUniversity #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaBrevardCounty #IRLShockJockRushLimbaugh #LiteralSchoolBoard #NMUSBreitbart #AdvocacyUSMediaMattersForAmericaMMFA #TheoryPerformativeActivismAstroturfing

As the 1990s wore on, because multiculturalism was associated with globalisation - the force that was taking away so many jobs traditionally held by white working-class people - attacking it allowed conservatives to displace responsibility for the hardship that many of their constituents were facing. It was not the slashing of social services, lowered taxes, union busting or outsourcing that was the cause of their problems. It was those foreign 'others'.
PC was a useful invention for the Republican right because it helped the movement to drive a wedge between working-class people and the Democrats who claimed to speak for them. 'Political correctness' became a term used to drum into the public imagination the idea that there was a deep divide between the 'ordinary people' and the 'liberal elite', who sought to control the speech and thoughts of regular folk. Opposition to political correctness also became a way to rebrand racism in ways that were politically acceptable in the post-civil-rights era." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/30/political-correctness-how-the-right-invented-phantom-enemy-donald-trump #PoliticallyCorrectPC

#NMAUSBSNewsElfyScott "Australia has also seen a number of anti-immigration marches in recent weeks.
On Saturday, protesters marched in capital cities calling for an end to 'mass migration'. The lead organisers of that event posted a notice on their website distancing themselves from any connection with Tommy Robinson or his views.
Two weeks earlier, there were the nationwide 'March for Australia' rallies, which were attended by members of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network and allowed neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell to address crowds in Melbourne.
The March for Australia rallies also received notable support from far-right figures, including Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk. ...
Callum Jones, a political extremism researcher from Monash University, told SBS News grievances such as economic and social uncertainty play a role in political mobilisation for the far right and these groups capitalise on issues such as housing and the high cost of living to gain momentum.
'In the same way, we saw large-scale political mobilisation around the COVID-19 period where you had a lot of people turn out [to protests] because of perceived infringements on civil liberties and they were turning to protest things like mask mandates and vaccine mandates,' he said.
Jones said far-right politics focus on grievances and perceptions around 'entitlements or privileges or access to resources that are being taken away' and 'certain groups are scapegoated as being the people who have taken away those previously accessible resources or privileges'." https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/far-right-movements-australia-uk/qg4lpzb6n

The man who handed federal MP Bob Katter a rune-covered megaphone during the Townsville march can be revealed as the head of the NSN's north Queensland chapter, for example.
Meanwhile, a March for Australia planning chat for Melbourne leaked to this masthead is stacked with known NSN members. Some have bragged of turning a crowd with just a handful of men.

'Advance UK will actually drive change,' Musk claimed in his X post.
Musk was replying to a post by Robinson in which he urged former Reform MP Rupert Lowe to join Advance after an earlier split with Farage.
'Unfortunately, the reality is that Farage will do almost nothing to protect Britain. That is obvious,' Musk said of Farage in an earlier post.
Habib founded Advance UK in June of this year, following disagreements with Farage that led to his departure from Reform UK in December.
Situated at the same end of the political spectrum as right-wing Reform, Advance advocates for the UK's 'Christian constitution,' freedom of speech and adherence to UK law.
Attention from Musk has boosted the influence of members of far-right fringe parties in the UK." https://www.euronews.com/2025/08/27/musk-brands-reform-uk-leader-farage-weak-sauce-after-illegal-immigration-crackdown-pledge #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyNigelFarage #LegislationEUEuropeanConventionOnHumanECHR #BrandTechSocialMediaXTwitter #OrgClassifPPUKRestoreBritainRupertLowe [Wikipedia] [Wikipedia] #PoliticsNationalismChristian

Supplementary: #MagazineNewStatesmanJuliaRampen [Muckrack] "By the time Robinson was released from prison in November 2014, a refugee crisis was engulfing Europe. Instead of returning to the streets of Britain, he travelled to Germany and sought to expand the country's anti-Islam movement, Pegida (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West). Next came Brexit, Donald Trump and a new term for a slippery, extremist ideology now dominating corners of the internet: the alt-right.
Robinson spied an opportunity. He became a columnist for Canadian far-right website Rebel Media and cultivated a YouTube channel. Until being banned by Twitter earlier this year, he had 413,000 followers. ...
But this was not the story the world heard. 'Reason *1776 for the original *Brexit. Don't let America follow in those footsteps,' tweeted Donald Trump Jr, the US president's eldest son, about the case. Conservative US radio host Rush Limbaugh acknowledged that Robinson had 'technically violated a judge's order', but told listeners that 'the real thing to take away from this story is that they categorise this guy as 'far right', which then permits them to spirit him away'. Australian supporters held rallies.
In the UK, petitions to 'free Tommy Robinson' have attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. 'I'm sick of being the silenced majority in my own country and I need people like Tommy to fight my corner,' one supporter wrote. On 9 June 2018, as many as 15,000 protesters gathered in central London under the *FreeTommy banner.
To his supporters, Robinson is the victim of an oppressive state. Those watching the latest march felt differently; one described the mood to me as 'creepy and uncomfortable'.
There is no doubt that, for many, it is Robinson the street fighter who most appeals. 'It is a class culture war,' Jonathan Rutherford, an academic and one of the leading Blue Labour thinkers, told me. Robinson the man, it seems, is less important than what he represents. 'Robinson is a tribune of that working-class white identity - although he'd probably not like the white identity bit,' said Rutherford. 'He's for them, and of them, and who else is?'" https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2018/06/how-tommy-robinson-became-folk-hero-global-alt-right #2014_ #2015_EuropeanMigrantCrisis #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim #OrgSyndicateHateGroupDEPatriotischeEuropaerGegenDieIslamisierungDesAbendlandesPEGIDA [Wikipedia] https://www.dw.com/en/german-issues-in-a-nutshell-pegida/a-39124630 #PhenomnBrexit #IRLBusinesspersonDonaldTrumpJr #IRLShockJockRushLimbaugh #ToponymOceaniaAustralia #CatchcrySilentMajority #MetaphorWarfareHeroFolk #MetaphorMartyrFreeSpeech #CampaignHashtagFreeTommy #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianMarkTownsend https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jul/29/tommy-robinson-far-right-resurgence-steve-bannon-us-support #IdentityClass #TheoryAffectiveResponseSecondClassCitizen #IRLScholarJonathanRutherford [Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUKBlueLabour [Wikipedia] #IdentityClassBlueCollarWhite

#CharacterisationWeaknessCuck [Wikipedia]
Context: "Its literal meaning references a submissive man sexually cuckolded by a woman. Now, it is a catch-all among the alt-right, in the dark corners of the internet where feminismisacancer hashtags are a badge of pride and the real enemy is PC culture, where 'cuck' has become shorthand for any perceived weakness, or rather, perceived reluctance to exploit strength. ...
The word gained political potency during the 2016 election in the portmanteau 'cuckservative' (cuck + conservative) used to imply that the mainstream conservatives of the Jeb Bush variety are weak and effeminate. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is not a cuckservative. He says what he wants and doesn't care if it's offensive. In reference to Trump's comments about Megyn Kelly having 'blood coming out of her wherever,' radio host Rush Limbaugh snarked, 'If Trump were your average, ordinary, cuckolded Republican, he would have apologized by now.'
But Donald Trump doesn't apologize. He went on to win the Republican presidential nomination as Jeb Bush, the one-time favorite, was irrevocably set back by a simple insult from Trump delivered with an invisible wink: 'low-energy.'...
After the Civil War, the white supremacist movement radicalized its supporters with the fear of black men raping white women. Even Shakespeare evoked the sexual element of racial angst: in Othello, Iago attempts to pit Desdemona's father against his Moorish son-in-law by evoking very specific imagery: 'Even now, now, very now, an old black ram / Is tupping your white ewe.'
In 2016, the word 'cuck' resonates with white nationalists who feel as though their country has been taken away from them, and not enough had been done by the cuckservative establishment conservative party to protect it. 'Cuck' is a concept borne out of insecurity: a fear that one is inadequate, sexually or otherwise, and that inadequacy will lead to the loss of the things that are important to him." https://www.gq.com/story/why-angry-white-men-love-calling-people-cucks #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #PoliticallyCorrectPC #CharacterisationWeaknessCuckservative #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPJebBush #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #2016_ #NMUSFOXFNCMegynKelly #IRLShockJockRushLimbaugh #NarrativeWarAmericanCivil #SlurWhiteSupremacy #IRLHistoricalFigureWilliamShakespeare #1603_Othello #FictionalCharacterDesdemona #IdentityBlack #PoliticsNationalismWhite #MetaphorPurityRacialWhiteWomenAndBlackMen

#IRLShockJockRushLimbaugh - conservative, seemingly #TalkbackRadio pioneer.
Talkback Radio, which is ideologically conservative (as well as caters to libertarians).
"Nuance is boring, basically. And what isn't boring is saying, 'Those Democrats are a bunch of socialists trying to destroy America,' and playing to people's emotions." https://www.pri.org/stories/2019-12-20/power-conservative-talk-radio
"Conservative talk radio did not experience its significant growth until #1987_, when the #OrgUSFederalCommunicationsCommissionFCC voted to abolish the #LegislationUSFCCFairnessDoctrine ... the American government came from the #TelecommunicationsAct of #1996_, which allowed companies to own more radio stations and for some shows to become nationally syndicated" [Wikipedia]
