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).

Supplementary #AdvocacyUSTheHeritageFoundationCarlTrueman "A society's understanding of the notion of 'self' has broad implications for the cultural, moral, and political spheres. The modern notion of self, which can be called 'expressive individualism,' to use Robert Bellah's term, lies at the heart of current cultural conflicts, including abortion, pornography, the ethics of life and death, radical racial politics, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. Expressive individualism holds that human beings are defined by their individual psychological core, and that the purpose of life is allowing that core to find social expression in relationships. Anything that challenges it is deemed oppressive. Building a society based on a true understanding of the human person begins with an acknowledgement of the situation in which we find ourselves." https://www.heritage.org/civil-society/report/how-expressive-individualism-threatens-civil-society #IRLSociologistRobertBellah

Context this image is a #CharacterisationDerivativeWorkCoOption. The original, full-frame illustration shows a #MetaphorVersusSideBySideDiptych comparison of a mother and her daughter. This version has been cropped significantly. The illustration was created by #CaricaturistLaineyMolnar [forum] Unlike this cropped version, the original presents a positive interpretation, where "Me at age 31" represents a contemporary, #NarrativeValuesCosmopolitan and #PoliticsLiberalismLiberalWorldview as contrasted with the depiction of a #PhenomnRoleMarriageHousewife and #PhenomnRoleFamilyMother as per "My mom at age 31" reference. The implication is that the change is the positive consequence of changing attitudes and presumably, the impact of #CauseFeminismWomensLiberationMovementWLM
Addendum #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz "instead of constructing an antagonistic clash between various cultures (and their cultural patterns), I would like to argue that in late modernity we witness a much more antagonism between what I call, 'regimens of culturalisation': not cultures facing off against each other but, more fundamentally two contrary conceptions of what culture means, and therefore two contrary formers, which the cultural sphere is organised. In late modernity a wide-ranging, culturalisation of 'the social' is taking place, however it has two forms, that are very different from each other: Culturalisation1 as I would like to call it, can be observed as a culturalisation of forms of life and sort of global cultural market: here cultural good compete for the subjects who are striving for individual self-realisation. This is what I would call #TheoryHyperculture. Culturalisation2 is a different regimen. This culturalisation aims at collectives, and sets them up as communities sharing an identity and a set of morals. It employs, a strict inside/outside dualism, and follows the model of homogeneous communities created as 'imagined communities': this constellation I would call #TheoryCulturalEssentialism. #TheoryModernityLate (and #TheoryModernityLiquid as defined by #IRLSociologistZygmuntBauman) is marked by conflict between these two regimens of culturalisation, which has led to a contradictory constellation of opening and closure." (transcript of video extract running from 4:03 to 5:36). https://www.mmg.mpg.de/342842/online-lecture-2019-02-27-reckwitz See pages 14-15 in Reckwitz, A. and V. A. Pakis (2021). 'The End of Illusions: Politics, Economy, and Culture in Late Modernity'. Cambridge, UK, Polity Press Cambridge, UK. [Worldcat] In some senses, this conceptualisation of 'hyperculture' and 'cultural essentialism' feels reminiscent of #IRLSociologistFerdinandTonnies' #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGesellschaft (individual oriented, business and commerce dominate) and #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft (group oriented, tradition dominates) [Folksonomy] Also #IRLHistoricalFigureEmileDurkheim Given this, Tonnies' theory was directed towards understanding the transformation from the pre-urban to the urban, not late modernity as per Reckwitz theorisation. Interestingly, the conceptualisation provides some explanation for antagonism towards #TheoryGlobalisation, exemplified by the #OtheringElitesGlobal caricaturisation as proffered by #PoliticsConservatismSocialSoCon.s Reckwitz's point about: "subjects who are striving for individual self-realisation", might tie into #IRLPhilosopherLouisAlthusser's #TheoryInterpellation (this needs to be explored further). Additionally, #IRLScholarTimothySnyder's #TheoryPoliticsOfInevitability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eghl19elKk8&t=87s feels reminiscent of (at least how Reckwitz explains it), Fukuyama's #1992_TheEndOfHistoryAndTheLastMan theory.

Supplementary #VlogSamVaknin [channel] "try to argue with a fan of Jordan Peterson, see what you get. These are cults. Try to argue with someone who believes in the idiotic QAnon, see what you get. These are all cults. With varying degrees of intelligence, the adherence of QAnon are at the lower rank of the ladder of intellect, obviously, and the followers of Jordan Peterson are higher up, but they're all cults. So of course in cults, the main function of a cult is to reduce anxiety, to reduce worry by introducing rigid rules, which if you follow, you are guaranteed to acquire magical powers, influence on the world." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJTA3Vno8LU&t=1699s
Addendum criticism that #TheorySociologyIntersectionality will inevitably lead to further 'individualisation' i.e. #TheoryMarginalisation can be understood in terms of #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz's characterisation of the divide between #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation, which is characteristic of what Reckwitz defines as #TheoryHyperculture versus the impulses of what he defines as #TheoryCulturalEssentialism (which he explains is deeply invested in #TheoryCulturalEssentialismRegulatedCollective).
