Supplementary #MagazineUSMotherJonesKieraButler "Earlier this week, Moscow, Idaho, pastor Doug Wilson made a big announcement: In July, his church will be opening a branch in Washington, DC, just blocks away from the US Capitol building. In a blog post, Wilson, a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist, wrote that he believed that the moment was right to bring his version of Christianity to the nation's capital. 'We believe that there will be many strategic opportunities with numerous evangelicals who will be present both in and around the Trump administration,' he wrote. ... even in the TheoBros fraternity, Wilson stands out as a firebrand: He has argued that the master-slave dynamic was 'a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence,' called the trope of the dominant man and a submissive woman 'an erotic necessity,' and opined that women never should have been given the right to vote." https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/05/a-christian-nationalist-theobro-church-is-coming-to-dc/ #ToponymAmericaNorthUSWashingtonDCUSCapitol #IRLReligiousLeaderPastorDougWilson [Wikipedia] #PoliticsNationalismChristian #MetaphorOutsiderDissenterVeryOnlineRight #CharacterisationTheoBros #BeliefTheismChristianityDenomEvangelicalism #SymbolSlaveMaster #PowerControlSubmissiveness #PowerControlDominance

#AdvocacyNLTheTransnationalInstituteTNIRobertoGonzalez "The Silicon Valley has thrown much of its support behind Trump for reasons of opportunism, appeasement or fear. But the roots for its fascist turn were laid long before by a culture steeped in racial hierarchies, jingoism, and militaristic utopian visions. Among the many iconic images of the US presidential inauguration ceremony in late January 2025, one was particularly striking. The world's most powerful tech industry elites dutifully lined up to pay homage to Donald Trump, 'kissing the ring' of the new leader. The CEOs of Alphabet-Google, Amazon, Meta, and X (formerly Twitter) - Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk respectively - were prominently seated in the second row, behind Trump's inner circle of family and friends. ... In July 2025, AI firms such as Google, Open AI, xAI, and Anthropic secured Defense Department contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars to incorporate large learning models for national security applications, ushering in a new era in militarised AI. Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and other tech firms phased out their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, apparently capitulating to Trump's 'anti-woke' agenda." https://www.tni.org/en/article/the-rise-of-the-techno-tyrants #BrandTechGoogleSundarPichai [Wikipedia] #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #BrandTechMetaMarkZuckerberg #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #BrandOpenAI #BrandTechXAICorp [Wikipedia] #BrandTechAnthropicPBC [Wikipedia] #BrandMicrosoftCorporation #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump
"AFRICAN AMERICANS African Americans, who constitute approximately 13.3% of the U.S. population, claim ancestry from Africa and the Caribbean as well as many parts of Central and South America. Persons born and raised in the United States and persons born in South America or the Caribbean before emigrating here share common racial and cultural characteristics, but may differ widely in their perspectives on other factors (U.S. Census Bureau, 2017). The arrival of Africans onto the shores of America stands apart from all other cultural, ethnic, and racial groups who began new lives in this country. While every other group arrived voluntarily, Africans were uprooted and brought to America involuntarily as slaves. This cultural upheaval has had profound sociocultural, economic, and psychological effects on the experience of African Americans ever since, resulting in traumatic cultural losses and significant disparities in access to education, employment, health care, and financial services. The racism inherent in the practice of slavery has, hundreds of years later, continued to subtly shape policies and practices while limiting access to the ladder of success. African American Populations As of 2017, there were roughly 43.6 million African Americans, or 13.4% of the United States Population (US Census Bureau). Rates of poverty, family dissolution, unemployment, incarceration, ill health, and shortened lifespan are much greater for African Americans than their White counterparts (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [DHHS], 2001). The median household income for Black non-Hispanics is $36,898 compared to White non-Hispanics at $62,950 (U.S. Census Bureau, cited in Proctor, Semega, & Kollar, 2016).

#NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJillLepore "Mr. Musk has long presented himself to the world as a futurist. Yet, notwithstanding the gadgets -- the rockets and the robots and the Department of Government Efficiency Musketeers, carrying backpacks crammed with laptops, dreaming of replacing federal employees with large language models -- few figures in public life are more shackled to the past. On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, Mr. Musk told a roaring, jubilant crowd that the election marked 'a fork in the road of human civilization.' He promised to 'take DOGE to Mars' and pledged to give Americans reasons to look 'forward to the future.' In 1932, when civilization stood at another fork in the road, the United States chose liberal democracy, and Franklin Roosevelt, who promised 'a new deal for the American people.' In his first 100 days, Mr. Roosevelt. signed 99 executive orders, and Congress passed more than 75 laws, beginning the work of rebuilding the country by establishing a series of government agencies to regulate the economy, provide jobs, aid the poor and construct public works. Mr. Musk is attempting to go back to that fork and choose a different path. Much of what he has sought to dismantle, from antipoverty programs to national parks, have their origins in the New Deal. Mr. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration provided 8.5 million Americans with jobs; Mr. Musk has measured his achievement by the number of jobs he has eliminated." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/opinion/elon-musk-doge-technocracy.html #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #CharacterisationVisionaryFuturist #MetaphorWarfareHeroMusketeer #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSFranklinDRooseveltFDR #IRLHistoricalFigureJoshuaHaldeman #PoliticsGovernanceTechnocracy #MetaphorDiseaseMindVirus #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #TauntPresumptionHubris #IRLEntrepreneurMarcAndreessen #TheoryFuturismFilippoTommasoMarinetti #PoliticsAuthoritarianismAutocracy https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/04/opinion/elon-musk-capitalism.html #NarrativeUtopiaPlacelessness #IRLAuthorDouglasAdams #IRLAuthorHGWells #IRLAuthorIainBanks #WorksSeriesTheCulture #ToponymAfricaSouthernSouthAfrica #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #PowerControlSegregationApartheid #IRLAuthorNovelistUrsulaLeGuin #IRLAuthorVirginiaWoolf

#EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaRitaAbrahamsen, #EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaMichaelWilliams "Ahmari's essay on dystopia begins by observing that 'Those of us who inhabit the Very Online Right like to point out how this or that new social phenomenon resembles this or that dystopian fiction. ... these resemblances to fictional dystopias should arrest us' (Ahmari 2021). Then he asks, 'What if dystopia is already here? What if our territory already conforms to maps drawn long ago by science-fiction authors? Could it be that we have crossed the invisible frontier that divides an ordinary place, an ordinary topos, from a dystopian realm?' Indeed, Ahmari is effusive in lauding the ability of dystopian fiction to place issues of the day (such as 'cancel culture, woke-ism and gender ideology') within wider frameworks that 'uncover the deeper currents shaping our age.' He sees these contemporary phenomena as 'merely the acceleration of older and deeper processes of ideological transformation' that dystopian fiction can help expose." Abrahamsen, R. and M. C.

"Owens, Crowder and Shapiro have all been of great import to the Trump movement. Other figures include - but not limited to - Charlie Kirk, Jesse Kelly, Dan Bongino, Jack Posobiec, Dave Rubin, and even Trump himself. Other figures, such as Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard, though not of the Right ideologically, can be counted as fellow travelers. Just as how AM radio have been the medium of choice for tech-savvy conservatives during the years of Reagan and Bush, the Internet have been the broadcasting tool for the online Trump supporters. Conservatives' favorite punching bag have been the well-to-do elites from the coasts, who are seen as unattached to a locality. However, by using the Internet, the Very Online Right can broadcast their views from anywhere in the world." https://musicallyspeaking.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-the-very-online-right #IRLCommentatorCandaceOwens #VlogLouderWithCrowderLWCStevenCrowder #TalkbackRadioTheClayTravisAndBuckSextonShow #TalkbackRadioTheJesseKellyShow [Wikipedia] #NMUSFOXFNCDanBongino #NMUSOneAmericaNewsNetworkOANNJackPosobiec #VlogJoeRoganExperienceJRE #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyTulsiGabbard

#IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Viewed against that history, Musk's line about 'abolishing' the EU [tweet] [jpeg] is more than a libertarian thought experiment. It condenses the political slogans of Trumpism and Brexit into one sentence: the nation-state as the only legitimate unit of sovereignty; supranational institutions as inherently undemocratic; the EU as something done to people, not by them. Medvedev's one-word response - 'Exactly' - makes plain how neatly this dovetails with Moscow's long-term ambitions. As former president and now deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, he has become one of the regime's most aggressive public voices, regularly threatening Europe with escalation and calling for a remade world order. When he endorses the abolition of the EU, he is not being rhetorical; he is restating a core Kremlin objective that has underpinned years of covert finance, disinformation and interference. The screenshot collapses those agendas into a single image: a leading Russian official cheerleading the destruction of the EU, and a tech mogul with his hand on the levers of global speech amplifying the same idea." https://pdjukes.substack.com/p/musk-medvedev-and-the-long-war-on #OrgEU #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaDmitryMedvedev [tweet] #PhenomnBrexit
#EDUUKUniversityOfGlasgowRebeccaHarrison "Since its rise to power, the First Order has obsessively undermined the ideologies of the former New Republic, which calls to mind Trump repealing Obama-era legislation in areas such as health and welfare. In spreading fear among citizens and dismantling liberal institutions, its leaders also resemble ordinary businessmen and politicians. Where, in The Force Awakens, Kylo harboured fantasies of being the next Darth Vader, here Snoke sneers that he should 'take that ridiculous' mask off. Facing Luke Skywalker in a duel, Kylo also removes his cloak. Dressed in a grey suit, he is less Darth Vader and more Donald Trump Jr. The First Order's arch enemy, General Leia Organa, meanwhile stands in for Hillary Clinton - another woman with too little support for her political agenda, with the air of a lost cause, whose loyalists happen to be much more ethnically diverse than their opponents. This latter difference is thrown into sharp relief when the white Captain Phasma attempts to destroy Finn and Rose, two Resistance fighters of colour, calling them 'scum'. Not overt racism, but reminiscent of a US administration that has advocated racist policies." https://theconversation.com/the-last-jedi-latest-star-wars-is-a-fable-for-our-post-truth-times-89256 #FictionalCharacterStarWarsDarthVader #FictionalCharacterStarWarsSupremeLeaderSnoke [Wikipedia] #IRLBusinesspersonDonaldTrumpJr #FictionalCharacterStarWarsPrincessLeia #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyHillaryClinton #FictionalCharacterStarWarsCaptainPhasma [Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterStarWarsFinn [Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterStarWarsRoseTico [Wikipedia]
#MagazineUSMotherJonesAnnaMerlan "Last week, conservative influencer Isabel Brown celebrated 100 episodes of her podcast, where she sings the praises of motherhood, frets about the dangers of open borders, and asks rhetorical questions about homosexuality and what she frequently terms 'radical' Islam. To celebrate, Brown had a party thrown by the Daily Wire, the right-wing site that hosts her podcast. The event was also sponsored by Meta, the mega-company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, among other sites. The decorations included an archway that read 'Seeking Truth to Save The West,' underneath the words 'Presented by Meta' and the company's logo. An Instagram post from Brown celebrating the party thanked 'my amazing team at the Daily Wire and our friends at Meta for throwing me the cutest 'save the west' party right in the heart of dc,' and reiterated that the tech company had made 'this special celebration possible.'" https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/isabel-brown-show-meta-islam/ #BrandTheDailyWirePolemicistIsabelBrown [digital archives] #BrandTechMetaMarkZuckerberg #PhenomnSexualityHomosexuality #CharacterisationRadicalFundamentalismIslamic
