Context #NMUSNationalPublicRadioNPR [tweet] [commentary]
Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesLoraKelley and #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesKatieRobertson "National Public Radio said on Wednesday that it would suspend all Twitter use, a little over a week after the social network designated the broadcaster 'U.S. state-affiliated media.' Twitter has since changed the label on the NPR Twitter account to 'Government-funded Media,' a designation it also gave to PBS. That label also appeared on the account of the BBC, the national broadcaster of Britain, until Wednesday, when it was changed to 'publicly funded media.' NPR said Twitter's move could damage its reputation. 'NPR's organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent,' Isabel Lara, NPR's chief communications officer, said in a statement. In a letter to staff on Wednesday morning, John Lansing, NPR's chief executive, said that posting on the platform would be a disservice to the staff's journalism. 'Actions by Twitter or other social media companies to tarnish the independence of any public media institution are exceptionally harmful and set a dangerous precedent,' he wrote." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/12/business/npr-twitter-suspension.html #NMUSNationalPublicRadioNPRIsabelLara #NMUSNationalPublicRadioNPRJohnLansing #BrandTechSocialMediaXFKATwitterGovernmentFundedMedia #NMUSPublicBroadcastingServicePBS #NMUKBBC

"...the government in Wales have decided that people could just be offended it might trigger their unhappiness their mental health so at great expense in this cost of living crisis they're willing to pay thousands of pounds to remove and then realign certain statues now the bottom line is this as I often say here on the show it's never really given the opportunity to the people that actually paid taxes it's always given to the younger generation the Millennials the Jay-Z generation who have yet to contribute to life in any form by paying any level of tax but apparently they're the ones that are most offended and they're the ones that we have to cater to and pay for this is an attack on men but obviously if it had to come out of their say university grant how quickly would they want these statues removed so far the Welsh government had decided exactly how many of the 209 statues they wish to remove ..."

"From the MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION
2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw while he remained forward to give fire directions to the artillery. Murphy climbed on a burning tank destroyer, using its .50 caliber machinegun. Alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, he caused their infantry attack to waver. He received a leg wound, but continued until his ammunition was exhausted. Refusing medical attention, he led his company in a counterattack that forced the Germans to withdraw.

The lead organisers of that event posted a notice on their website distancing themselves from any connection with Tommy Robinson or his views. Two weeks earlier, there were the nationwide 'March for Australia' rallies, which were attended by members of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network and allowed neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell to address crowds in Melbourne. The March for Australia rallies also received notable support from far-right figures, including Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk. ... Callum Jones, a political extremism researcher from Monash University, told SBS News grievances such as economic and social uncertainty play a role in political mobilisation for the far right and these groups capitalise on issues such as housing and the high cost of living to gain momentum. 'In the same way, we saw large-scale political mobilisation around the COVID-19 period where you had a lot of people turn out [to protests] because of perceived infringements on civil liberties and they were turning to protest things like mask mandates and vaccine mandates,' he said. Jones said far-right politics focus on grievances and perceptions around 'entitlements or privileges or access to resources that are being taken away' and 'certain groups are scapegoated as being the people who have taken away those previously accessible resources or privileges'." https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/far-right-movements-australia-uk/qg4lpzb6n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byb0Xl0SpIA #CatchcryAussieAussieAussieOiOiOi [Wikipedia] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DikLFodkmY8 #EDUAUMonashUniversityCallumJones #EDUAUDeakinUniversityGregBarton #2025_MarchForAustralia #OrgSyndicateHateGroupAUNationalSocialistNetworkNSNThomasSewell [Wikipedia] [Wikipedia] #ToponymOceaniaAustraliaVICMelbourne #TheoryGrievancePolitics #PhenomnUncertainty #PhenomnVirusCOVID19Pandemic #CauseCivilLiberties #PhenomnMaskWearing #LiteralVaccineMandate #PhenomnMisdirectionScapegoating https://www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast/party-time

Next came Brexit, Donald Trump and a new term for a slippery, extremist ideology now dominating corners of the internet: the alt-right. Robinson spied an opportunity. He became a columnist for Canadian far-right website Rebel Media and cultivated a YouTube channel. Until being banned by Twitter earlier this year, he had 413,000 followers. ... But this was not the story the world heard. 'Reason *1776 for the original *Brexit.

Australian supporters held rallies. In the UK, petitions to 'free Tommy Robinson' have attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. 'I'm sick of being the silenced majority in my own country and I need people like Tommy to fight my corner,' one supporter wrote.

That their free speech was under attack. And yet no one is stopping them saying or doing anything. They are not under attack from the police or the government. This is not a clandestine meeting. The ExCeL Centre was rented on commercial terms. The only person being excluded from the conference is me. I emailed and texted four different ARC contacts asking for access. No one got back to me. Maybe it's me who is saying the unsayable. In the end I coughed up for the livestream. Over the years, I've watched some batshit events. This one was right up there. Men and women fighting imaginary battles against an establishment of which they are part. Fighting diversity, inclusion, equality.

Addendum presumably this is an effort to discredit #MetaphorWarfareCultureLiberalEducation. Horowitz fallaciously manipulates the meaning, which is intended by his interview subjects to support his #PhenomnPolemic. He does this through a number of means, including: 1). he fails to properly contextualise his interview questions for his subjects (causing them to make assumptions about its intended meaning); 2). he creates an artificial distinction between groups of interview subjects according to particular characterisations (that of the 'naive and overly #PoliticallyCorrectPC student' versus the 'every-person'). Symbolically, this locates the perspective of the 'every-person' as #PleaAuthenticity.ic and the PC student as #TauntHypocrisyLiberal; 3). different lines of questioning are reserved for black and white interview subjects (symbolically identifying their positions as distinct and different - and that they are therefore adversarial); 4). a question is asked about the equitability of 'separate but equal' university facilities/provisions, which is intentionally misleading in that it confuses a common-sense interpretation (which logically emphasises equality) with #PowerControlSegregationJimCrowLaws [Wikipedia] era #SloganSeparateButEqual rhetoric, which was used as constitutional cover against possible criticism so as to maintain racial segregation (and which was overturned by the #1954_USBrownVersusBoardOfEducation ruling).
