"The fact that until the end of the 1620s more Britons lived in North Africa than North America is largely overlooked, and historians have concentrated instead on the looming prizes of the New World rather than the allure and danger of the Barbary states. North African privateers--largely driven by western maritime technology and renegade captives from Europe--regularly captured English and colonial sailing vessels, and the captives were frequently exchanged for much needed hard currency. The slave traffic, of course, ran in both directions as British and Maltese corsairs captured 'Barbary Pirates,' and the exchange of captives became regularized and an important aspect of the Mediterranean economy. Matar theorizes that the North African conflict received little attention by contemporary writers simply because Europeans were often overpowered at sea and, as he has shown in his earlier work, Christians regularly converted to Islam.

"What is wokism? A monoma of hyper-sensitive Western teenagers wanting to wipe out the past. Wokism is the meeting of Maoism and the Disney Club; the bastard and cruel child of the worst of the egalitarian cultural revolution and ultra-liberalism in a 'my body, my choice' way. Everything becomes possible, to the point of denying the most elementary biology. 'I am a woman' because I have decided it. 'I' can even be a dolphin or a cat. Everything is allowed, especially the most stupid, as long as the parents are unhappy. By the term 'parents', one must also understand authority, standard, country and civilisation. The avowed aim of all these tendencies is indeed to put down all that we are, all that we were. They want to strike out from executives everything that is not a visible minority, applying unambiguous and tyrannical prior censorship that will stop at nothing." https://lincorrect.org/woke-nom-de-code-pour-anti-blancs-anti-heteros-societe-lincorrect/ #PoliticsProgressivismSocialLiberalism #PhenomnColonialism #IdentityFirstNations #IdentityLGBTQIA #CauseFeminism #IdentityWhite #PhenomnSexualityHeterosexuality #MetaphorThreatExistential

https://elpais.com/ideas/2021-08-15/ha-sido-usted-cancelado-el-movimiento-woke-y-su-falta-de-relativismo-moral.html (15 August 2021).
Google Translate (Spanish to English):
*You have been canceled: the 'woke' movement and its lack of moral relativism*
In this new social conscience, ideas that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral.
At the beginning of the last decade, young progressives in the West, angered by the consequences of the Great Recession, mobilised to occupy the streets, read Thomas Piketty's theory of economic inequalities at 1,000 pages in length, and demonstrated against the 1% made up of the richest. All that has been forgotten. Young progressives are now woke, that is, they are more socially conscious and more outraged by racial and gender injustices. In colleges, professors have become cautious when tackling sensitive topics, especially if the class is broadcasting on Zoom. And the new social conscience is not just a thing for young people. The latest Hollywood movies have increasingly diverse castings, and men are overshadowed by the starring role of perfect women. The more traditional newspapers have begun to speak of "supreme white". "Nike and even the CIA run ads talking about patriarchy and intersectionality.
The word woke (awake, aware) began to be used in the African-American fight against racism, but it has also come to designate progressive politics on gender and trans rights in particular. The horrific videos of unarmed black men being murdered by police officers that began circulating on social media in the mid-2010s notably boosted critical race theory, an intellectual trend that emerged in university law departments. and sociology. In recent years, the right wing has also started to use the word, but with an ironic and pejorative connotation: if someone speaks of wokism (in a pejorative tone) there is no doubt that they are opposed to racial and gender politics. ist.
In many ways, this woke wave is reminiscent of the political correctness of the 1990s and its emphasis on controlling language. Today's activists tend to be outraged by any pressure that they find problematic and controversial, at words that, in today's environment, are not only seen as mildly controversial, but have consequences. Contrary to what happens in most currents of the intellectual left, the Woke movement is not relativistic at all; when a person receives the qualification of problematic they run the risk of ending up "canceled", disappeared. This new awareness is a stained phenomenon: ideas or behaviours that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral. But the woke movement has also become an obsession for the right wing, which enjoys being outraged because something or someone has been "canceled". Being against the woke allows conservative media and politicians today to unite for a new cause, but the revolt that each case of cultural cancellation provokes distracts the right and prevents it from making a fundamental political reflection.
Another striking aspect of the woke movement is how it prioritises different types of oppression. The new social consciousness includes feminism, but according to "intersectional" principles, feminists must give the first line to transgender rights, as the controversy around J. K. Rowling (the Harry Potter writer starred in a controversy last year by hinting that in order to be a woman she has menstruation). The "Karen" meme - which portrays the stereotype of a white, bourgeois and racist woman - indicates that feminism is also below anti-racism. Another example was the resistance of the German media to talk about the sexual assaults that occurred during the celebrations. New Year's Eve 2016 for fear of being accused of stigmatising the alleged culprits.
It is curious that European activists have adopted aspects of the Woke movement that are specific to the United States: for example, the denunciation of the actors against the blackface or the murder of George Floyd became international phenomena.
But the fundamental difference between Europe and the US is in the legislation. The laws against discrimination are much stricter in the United States than in Europe. In the US, corporate human resources departments have been offering employees training courses on inclusion and diversity since the 1970s. The future of the Woke movement on both sides of the Atlantic will depend on the ability of activists and their adversaries to take advantage of the current moral outrage to make significant legal changes.

Much of that research has focused on 'bots,' accounts programmed to follow instructions, such as automatically replying to tweets from other accounts. But Sobieski exemplifies the growing popularity of a variation, called 'cyborgs,' that mix human creativity and initiative with a computer's relentless speed, allowing their views to gain audience while sidestepping the traditional gatekeepers of news and commentary.
Sobieski's two accounts, for example, tweet more than 1,000 times a day using 'schedulers' that work through stacks of his own pre-written posts in repetitive loops. With retweets and other forms of sharing, these posts reach the feeds of millions of other accounts, including those of such conservative luminaries as Fox News's Sean Hannity, GOP strategist Karl Rove and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), according to researcher Jonathan Albright.
'It's like a giant megaphone,' said Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University, in North Carolina, whose research singled out Sobieski's accounts as having unusual reach.
When Albright studied the most prolific Twitter accounts during the final two weeks of the election, he found that all of the top 20 appeared to support the eventual winner, Donald Trump. Among accounts using major pro-Trump hashtags such as 'MAGA,' for 'Make America Great Again,' two of the top three belonged to Sobieski." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/as-a-conservative-twitter-user-sleeps-his-account-is-hard-at-work/2017/02/05/18d5a532-df31-11e6-918c-99ede3c8cafa_story.html #PlatformSMTwitterTWTRBotClickFarm #PlatformSMTwitterTWTRCyborg #NMUSFOXFNCSeanHannity #IndivPoliticalStrategistKarlRove #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #EDUUSColumbiaUniversityJonathanAlbright i.e. https://towcenter.columbia.edu/content/jonathan-albright

#WebsiteSnopes "Attesting to the growing influence of the KKK in American politics at the time, a platform plank favored by Smith supporters that would have condemned the Klan by name went down to defeat after a raucous debate that degenerated into fisticuffs. On the 103rd ballot, the delegates finally nominated a dark-horse candidate named John W. Davis, who, in contrast to his GOP counterpart, Calvin Coolidge, would take a strong stand against the KKK during the presidential campaign. Coolidge won the election by a landslide.
Despite the fact that the Klan had sunk its tendrils just as deeply into Republican Party politics (an anti-KKK platform plank similar to the one rejected by Democrats met the same fate at that year's Republican convention), the extent of the group's supposed control over the 1924 Democratic convention has come to be exaggerated to legendary proportions. That is in large part thanks to the efforts of social media propagandists bent on tarring Democrats in particular with the legacy of the Klan's religious bigotry, xenophobia, and racism." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/klanbake-1924-democratic-convention/

"Woke in its initial inception meant political consciousness for Black people about the histories of anti-Blackness in this [USA] country and globally rather than this kind of more generalised political consciousness that it came to take up. One thing that I think is a very common misunderstanding about woke is the idea that it was derived from this phrase 'stay woke'. Woke itself is a standalone word. It's a word that conforms to the syntactic and phonological, which is to say that the sound system and grammatical principles, of African American English which has its origins in the South. 'Awake' is synonymous with 'woke' right, so one might say, 'I was woke about, let's say 7am'. The idea of 'wakefulness' as a concept referring to political consciousness stretches as far back as 1923, and then we see it going all the way up through the 1980s. Marcus Garvey in 'The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey' in the frame of what we might think of as black nationalist tradition where he says, 'wake up Ethiopia, wake up Africa, let us work towards the one end of a glorious and redeemed and mighty nation', he's talking about political consciousness in the same way as Laurence Fishburne's character at the end of 'School Daze' in the 1980s film. In 1962, a New York Times article by a guy named [William] Melvin Kelley 'If You're Woke You Dig It' writing about cultural appropriation and linguistic appropriation of Black language and culture by white people, specifically. As early as the 1990s or the late 1980s, you see it more attached to the idea of 'political correctness'. This is the point of which white people I would suggest, begin using it reflexively. And so it doesn't now just have the meaning of thinking about anti-Blackness from the perspective of someone who experiences it. More now it refers to this more general sense of awareness, as a marker of general political consciousness attention to such issues as those environmental, feminists, regarding ability and so on. Childish Gambino's song 'Redbone', canonised the phrase 'stay woke' for a popular audience. While Childish Gambino might understand that 'wokeness', at least in its original inception, has a lot to do with our awareness of anti-Black oppression. Listeners to the song from a variety of demographics all over the world aren't abreast of that history and now are using it, the phrase, in a way that destroys its meaning. But it has also been taken up more recently by conservatives. And it became used in a negative or pejorative fashion, right or at least one that is mocking or sarcastic. In fact, it's a well-known and popular tactic of conservatives to pick up and shift the meanings of individual terms, to then weaponize them. Mark Milley and Matt Gaetz arguing about what's woke and what isn't, whether it's good or whether it's bad, where that has nothing to do with the case of the Scottsboro Boys or Emmett Till or Trayvon Martin or Sandra Bland or Rodney King or Ahmaud Arbery or Breonna Taylor or George Floyd. I'm not suggesting that it's necessarily a conscious process, but it's the result of the kind of consumption of Black culture, which has always had a lot of capital purchase in the United States and pop culture globally."

And #WebsiteVoxAjaRomano: "Before 2014, the call to 'stay woke' was, for many people, unheard of. The idea behind it was common within Black communities at that point -- the notion that staying 'woke' and alert to the deceptions of other people was a basic survival tactic. But in 2014, following the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, 'stay woke' suddenly became the cautionary watchword of Black Lives Matter activists on the streets, used in a chilling and specific context : keeping watch for police brutality and unjust police tactics."

Incredible #ReasoningFallacyFalseEquivalence argument being presented here: "that it's admissible to murder someone who is innocent (until proven guilty) for a suspected crime if they have previously been charged with (or even convicted and presumably, who has also served the sentence for) a crime". This points to an idealogical perspective, which is antithetical to the contemporary perspective, which divorces our actions from whom we are as people - that we are all fundamentally good/just - and that all is redeemable. In this way, the perspective is a highly individualised one - that locates responsibility as a solely individual issue as per #TheoryInstrumentalism and that we are not in anyway a consequence of our circumstances - where the world we inhabit is #EpistemologySociallyConstructed (as per the theory of socio-constructivism).
"In modern society power is imposed not by the personal presence and brute force of a caste of nobles as it was in earlier times but by the systematic scribblings in discourses, by the continual monitoring of daily life, adjusting and readjusting ad in finitum the norm of individuality. Modern society may be read as a discourse in which nominal freedom of action is canceled by the ubiquitous look of the other"(Mark Poster pp.90-91). http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=546

#_FollowingNoneFollowersNone #NewspaperUKTabloidDailyExpressRamshaKhan "VIEWS on race are distorted to the core and both the verdict on the George Floyd murder and the horrific death of Ma'Khia Bryant in the United States are being exploited by woke identitarians [sic] to further impose divisive identity politics on everyday life." #IndivDeceasedGeorgeFloyd #IndivDeceasedMaKhiaBryant #CatchcryDivision #OtheringLegitimacyDehumanisation #CharacterisationWokeAsDisingenuous #CatchcryShovedDownYourThroat
Addendum: the "woke identitarians" reference here is either a hamfisted rephrasing of #CatchcryIdentityPolitics or a conscious (and clearly erroneous) effort to signal #PowerControlSegregationIdentitarianism i.e. https://www.politico.eu/article/who-are-europe-far-right-identitarians-austria-generation-identity-martin-sellner/ (or perhaps, histrionically supposed #TauntWokeFascism)?

Addendum: In discussing the trial and subsequent conviction of #IndivMurdererDerekChauvin, #PodcastChTheOfficerTatumBrandonTatum seems to be using this platform to criticise claims of the US being #OtheringDiscriminationRacismSystemicInstitutional. Part of the interest in this perspective is the fact that there is an assumption that all #IdentityIndigenousBlackPeopleOfColourBIPOC are assumed to be anti-racist - overlooking the fact that this is only one dimension of how people are i.e. presumably Tatum prizes his #PoliticsNationalismConservative more than anything else (and most likely sees criticism of the US in this way, as an affront).
The assumption is likely motivated by a logic of #TheorySelfPreservation i.e. that #IndivDeceasedGeorgeFloyd being murdered represents a threat to all #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfrican.s who in their identification with his plight, will automatically rally on his side. Doing however overlooks the fact that in doing so, assumes that those identifying will automatically interpret his murder as an act of #OtheringDiscriminationRacism.
This foregrounds #PhenomnCulturalHegemony, #OtheringDiscriminationRacismInternalized and possible #TheorySociologyIntersectionality
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQAw96sNtNw seems to be commenting on #WebsiteTheDailyCallerVirginiaKruta's interpretation i.e. https://dailycaller.com/2021/04/20/msnbc-jason-johnson-outraged-chauvin-verdict/ of #EDUUSMorganStateUniversityJasonJohnson commenting on #NMUSMSNBCNicolleWallace's report about the trial and conviction of #IndivMurdererDerekChauvin of #IndivDeceasedGeorgeFloyd's murder. Basically, Walsh offers his opinion based on the informed and considered judgement. In doing so, revealing an overt sense of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation in his attacks of #TauntLeftThe etc.

the collection of images conflate violence and anarchy with legitimate #PhenomnProtestDemonstration. They serve to incite #TheoryAffectiveResponsePanic through the use of a #ReasoningFallacyStrawman. Those most susceptible are likely those invested in #PoliticsStatusQuo and who see #CauseActivismSocial and the Right To Protest as a #MetaphorThreatIdeological to the sanctity of their #PleaLawAndOrder #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues. The imagery is a #CharacterisationOversimplification / #ReasoningFallacyFalseEquivalence, most likely attractive to those who recognise the portrayal in terms of a #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBias.

Addendum: In his radio programme #NMUKBBCThingsFellApartJonRonson presents the thesis that #IndivDeceasedGeorgeFloyd's murder was caused in part as a consequence of a seemingly debunked theory of #ConditionExcitedDeliriumExDS i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excited_delirium, which in its characterisation of sufferers having 'superhuman strength', might have contributed to #IndivMurdererDerekChauvin's use of excessive force. I would be curious to know how much the #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryBrute has played into the original formulation of the ED theory.

Context: #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJoeCoscarelli "What began as an attempt by two music insiders to pause business as usual across the industry on Tuesday, in response to the protests sweeping the nation, broadened and morphed overnight on social media into a less focused action, resulting in a sea of black boxes across Instagram and other platforms. Brands including Spotify, Live Nation, Apple, TikTok and many of the largest record companies said on Monday that they would cease most operations the following day, in light of the demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The industry blackout initiative, which started under the hashtag #CampaignHashtagTheShowMustBePaused, was the brainchild of two black women who work in music marketing, Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/arts/music/what-blackout-tuesday.html #IndivDeceasedGeorgeFloyd #NoRAmericaNorthUSMinnesotaMinneapolis
