@EmersonSchoultz [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [05]: What typical young British men look like in 2023, according to sportswear firm Nike. Strangely, even the tiny number of white models used convey an air of menace and mistrust. What kind of country are we becoming?

To activate the appropriate sense of urgency needed to defeat these trends, we must be honest about the kind of politics that we see in front of us. If the far right proudly wears the badge of 'populism', we must ask how it helps them. They know it grants them legitimacy. Why, then, should we play into the hands of extremists whose loathing of democracy has been repeatedly demonstrated?" https://theconversation.com/the-word-populism-is-a-gift-to-the-far-right-four-reasons-why-we-should-stop-using-it-224488 [academic source] #PhenomnPopulism #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #PhenomnIdeologicallyMotivatedViolentExtremismIMVE

Supplementary #IRLScholarGeorgeLakoff "Consider Brexit, which used the metaphor of 'entering' and 'leaving' the EU. There is a universal metaphor that states are locations in space: you can enter a state, be deep in some state, and come out that state. If you enter a café and then leave the café , you will be in the same location as before you entered. But that need not be true of states of being. But that was the metaphor used with Brexit; Britons believed that after leaving the EU, things would be as before when the entered the EU. They were wrong. Things changed radically while they were in the EU." https://george-lakoff.com/2016/07/23/understanding-trump-2/ #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT
Addendum Additionally, much of the pro-Brexit campaigning employed a #MetaphorClosedSystem, where mythology around the #ToponymEuropeUKEngland_ being an island (and therefore separate and discrete) was leveraged. The "£350 million per week" savings claim is a ket example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC8qO1nyYoM

@DanaQuintino [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Dear #BBC, check this out - #LandOfHopeAndGlory is #Number1 in the #iTunes charts. I guess producing programmes for the #SilentMajority goes against your #woke #Leftists #nonsense. About time you stopped with your #AntiBritish postion and start serving the nation as you should.
