However, the public mood turned against them in the late 19th century. Criticism from newspapers and social critics began to find an audience. And American workers began to organize in great numbers as the labor movement accelerated.

#IRLCuratorJudithBenhamou "These animated creatures romp around in a small park without colliding, and periodically eject from their rear ends photographs showing the spectators who are looking at them. 'In future, sculptures will inevitably come to be living objects,' Beeple argues. But why mix artists and tech billionaires here? 'Because in both cases we look at the world through their lens.' By the opening of the fair, nine of the ten human-headed dogs had already been sold, at [USD] 100,000 dollars each." https://judithbenhamou.com/art-basel-miami-beach-a-sublime-joan-mitchell-a-coral-reef-robot-dogs-with-billionaires-heads-and-the-great-comeback-of-enthusiasm/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-kIs2A0dMo #IRLArtistPabloPicasso #IRLArtistAndyWarhol #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #BrandTechMetaMarkZuckerberg #MagazineUSARTnewsDanielCassady "The installation, Regular Animals by Beeple (a.k.a. Mike Winkelmann), is part satire, part dystopia, part slapstick theater. In it, a pen of robot dogs (or is it pigs?) have been fitted with grotesquely lifelike heads of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Jeff Bezos, and Beeple himself. They wander, they twitch, they clash--and then, at intervals likely engineered for maximum dramatic tension, they tip backward and eject a printed image from their backsides." https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/beeple-pooping-robot-dogs-at-art-basel-miami-beach-1234765375/ #IRLArtistMikeWinkelmannAKABeeple [Wikipedia] #2025_RegularAnimals
#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesNafeezAhmed "What began in the 2016 email chain between Epstein and Bach as a discussion about human learning quickly mutated into one of the most explicit articulations of race hierarchy, gender essentialism and authoritarian governance found anywhere in the released files. Bach's email begins with a pseudo-neuroscientific discussion of 'layers' of cognition - a developmental metaphor he and Epstein share. Bach tells Epstein he has 'looked up the statistics' and asserts that 'black kids in the US have slower cognitive development (and never catch up)', while outperforming white children in early motor skills. He insists that researchers' attempts to attribute this to environmental factors are misleading. He then advances an evolutionary explanation that places African Americans and Europeans on different biological tracks. In his words, black children's 'faster motor development' means 'their brains are slower at learning high-level concepts, because the low-level structures are optimised for a shorter time'. Europeans, by contrast, supposedly evolved to master 'long-term seasonal patterns' and 'delayed gratification for agriculture', while Africans are framed as adapted for 'a more hunting/running style of life'. ... Bach has since partly distanced himself from these views. In response to a Boston Globe piece describing some of his comments to Epstein on race and gender, he wrote: 'Race is itself not causal in cognitive differences of course, and later research brought me to my current view that race is NOT causal for differences in development, and race is NOT a determinant of IQ in children or adults.' Yet taken together, Bach's communications with Epstein reveal an entire architecture of thought increasingly common among Edge participants: biological hierarchy; racial destiny; gender determinism; genetic optimisation; population culling; fascism as efficiency." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/12/05/how-epstein-channelled-race-science-and-climate-culling-into-silicon-valleys-ai-elite/ #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheBostonGlobeKateSelig https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/21/metro/epstein-emails-mit-joscha-bach/ #2016_ #BrandEdgeFoundationIncJohnBrockman [Wikipedia] [Wikipedia] #OtheringElitesClique #IRLBusinesspersonJeffreyEpstein #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #IRLScientistCognitiveJoschaBach [Wikipedia] #PoliticsFascismTechno #TechArtificialIntelligenceAIGenerative #TheoryLongtermism [Wikipedia] #IRLPhilosopherNickBostrom [Wikipedia] #dentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC #PhenomnIntelligenceIQ #MetaphorSpatialLinearLayered #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyStratificationRacial #BeliefPseudoscienceScientificRacism [Wikipedia] #OtheringDenialPseudospeciation [Wikipedia]

This brute is a fiend, a sociopath, an anti-social menace. Black brutes are depicted as hideous, terrifying predators who target helpless victims, especially white women." https://jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/brute/ #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryBrute And #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNat i.e. "The Nat caricature portrays African and African American males as angry, crazed, revengeful brutes with a bloodthirsty hatred for white people. Like many anti-black caricatures, the Nat portrayal was popularized during American slavery.... 'Nat was the rebel who rivaled Sambo in the universality and continuity of his literary image. Revengeful, bloodthirsty, cunning, treacherous, and savage, Nat was the ravager of white women who defied all the rules of plantation society. Subdued and punished only when overcome by superior numbers of firepower, Nat retaliated when attacked by whites, led guerrilla activities of maroons against isolated plantations, killed overseers and planters, or burned plantation buildings when he was abused...

Addendum points to an #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringHateAntisemiticCanard (conspiracy theory) about some sort of overarching goal of world domination mounted by #IdentityJewish people (in this case, domination of mainstream media). The canard is interesting in the way that it seeks to frame such supposed malevolent intent as a form of 'mind-control' (manipulation) where in their nativity, and having gone against sort of 'predefined natural, social order', such supposed 'white liberals' have received their ultimate punishment i.e. 'they deserve what's coming to them!'. The image collage functions as a #PhenomnCautionaryTale for others who might stray from such a 'natural order' (especially, those conservatives who are more excepting of liberal values). The reality of course, is that a random (and misrepresentative sample) of domestic violence cases has been amassed in such a way that it feels plausible, when it is in fact a non sequitur [Folksonomy] where just because some black men have inflicted violence on some white people - there is a #ReasoningFallacyFormalNonSequitur #ReasoningFallacyStrawman that black men are innately dangerous (or that all mixed-race #MetaphorPurityRacialWhiteWomenAndBlackMen relationships must inevitably end in disaster - because doing so breaks with natural laws and contravenes #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyStratificationRacial). Note that I assume that such a 'natural order' is religiously defined e.g. some sort of perversion of (Old Testament) Christian belief i.e. #TheoryExnominationChristianity. There is also an assumption that 'liberals' are easily fooled because of their over willingness to accept difference and to challenge established tradition i.e. break natural rules. #OtheringDiscriminationRacism
