#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianMarkOConnell "If you're interested in the end of the world, you would have been interested, soon after Donald Trump's election as US president, to read a New York Times headline stating that Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist who co-founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook, considered New Zealand to be 'the Future'. Because if you are in any serious way concerned about the future, you're also concerned about Thiel, a canary in capitalism's coal mine...
...he didn't like how they wrote about him; he is known for his public musings about the incompatibility of freedom and democracy, and for expressing interest - as though enthusiastically pursuing the clunkiest possible metaphor for capitalism at its most vampiric - in a therapy involving transfusions of blood from young people as a potential means of reversing the ageing process. But in another, deeper sense, he is pure symbol: less a person than a shell company for a diversified portfolio of anxieties about the future, a human emblem of the moral vortex at the centre of the market.
And the overwhelming suspicion was that he was looking for a rampart to which he could retreat in the event of outright civilisational collapse.
Because this is the role that New Zealand now plays in our unfurling cultural fever dream: an island haven amid a rising tide of apocalyptic unease." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/feb/15/why-silicon-valley-billionaires-are-prepping-for-the-apocalypse-in-new-zealand #OtheringOutGroupPrepperSurvivalist #ToponymOceaniaNewZealand #BrandOpenAISamAltman #NarrativeUtopiaEschatologyApocalypticism #NarrativeUtopia
#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianArwaMahdawi "It's a new conservative dating app that promises to let you 'view profiles without pronouns' and 'connect with people who aren't offended by everything'. Despite this all being very predictable stuff, the app has been getting a lot of attention for three reasons: 1) the ads are unintentionally hilarious, 2) it was co-founded by former Trump administration officials and Ryann McEnany, the sister of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, is the app's spokesperson; 3) creepy Trump-loving billionaire Peter Thiel, who has been called 'the most important person in Silicon Valley', has invested $1.5m into the project." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/04/want-to-date-a-hot-rightwinger-sick-of-all-that-woke-nonsense-ive-just-the-app-for-you #TechServiceRightStuffApp i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_Stuff_(app) #PleaPronouns #IRLPersonalityInternetRyannMcEnany #IRLUltracrepidarianKayleighMcEnany

Supplementary: the clip i.e.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gX6WIEzB08 was posted by #IRLFilmmakerDavidHoffman who states that it was filmed in #1962_ however it's not explicit what the source/who the author is. One video comment suggests that it is taken from: "The southern way of life documentary", which might be 'History of the Negro People' (1965) i.e. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5607914/
This is another interview credited to Hoffman: 'Her Family Were Racists. She Reveals What They Were So Afraid Of':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhQIC4n6wB8 #IRLDeceasedEmmettTill i.e. "In 1955, Emmett Till, a black fourteen year old from Chicago, visited his relatives in Mississippi. The exact details are not known, but Till apparently referred to a female white store clerk as 'Baby.' Several days later, the woman's husband and brother took Till from his uncle's home, beat him to death... The men were caught, tried, and found innocent by an all-white jury. The case became a cause celebre during the civil rights movement, showing the nation that brutal violence undergirded Jim Crow laws and etiquette." https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/news/jimcrow/brute/homepage.htm #OtheringDiscriminationRacism
