Addendum: seemingly, the original meme, which was published to the AfD Instagram account (which is also accessible via the #TechServicePicuki as linked here): https://www.picuki.com/profile/Afd.sachsen has been taken down (but is visible via various shared screen-shots). The AfD are a far-right, populist German party i.e. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-37274201 And so, in context with this, the meme presents two caricatures: the left, #OtheringOutGroupTransgressiveDeviant versus the right, #TheoryCodedFemininityOverTradWives The tweet, which is critical of the AfD, seeks to foreground similar #Othering strategies used by the #OrgClassifPPDEAfDAlternativeFurDeutschland in 2022 and #PoliticsFascismNaziPartyNationalsozialistischeDeutscheArbeiterparteiNSDAP of #1935_.

Context: "Modern 'Liberated' Feminists:
Tons of makeup because of her low self esteem;
Frequently changing relationships;
Works minimum wage - because nobody needs their gender degree
Bad lifestyle, unkempt;
Already her third abortion at 22 and proud of it;
Broken hair from too much colouring;
The Traditional Woman:
Loves her family and her homeland;
Healthy ego through natural skin and hair;
Slim figure through sport and healthy eating;
Considers the upbringing and education of children to be her first duty;
Living family, proud to live for her children, supports her husband in love."

------------------------------------------
But the Germans -- they stand foursquare.
Look, children, and the two compare,
The German and the Jew.
Take a good look at the two
In the picture drawn for you.
A joke -- you think it is only that?
Easy to guess which is which, I say:
The German stands up, the Jew gives way.
The German is a proud young man,
Able to work and able to fight.
Because he is a fine big chap,
For danger does not care a rap,
The Jew has always hated him!
Here is the Jew, as all can see,
Biggest ruffian in our country;
He thinks himself the greatest beau
And yet is the ugliest, you know!

Addendum: the
(masculine) #MetaphorVersusWeaknessStrength + (feminine) #MetaphorVersusPrettyUgly dichotomies presented seem self-evident, the fact that the comparison also sets up an opposition between people who are not alive against those who are #MetaphorVersusBlackAndWhiteColour i.e. #PleaNostalgia (and presumably, a narrative, which is stable and one, which continues to unfold). #TheoryDeclinism
#TheoryModelBinaryDualityManichean dichotomy exemplifying a #PoliticsConservatismSocialSoCon position, framed as: #MetaphorVersusConservativesLiberals / #MetaphorVersusPrettyUgly. Composed of a #OtheringHateTransphobia / #PowerControlMicrofascismBullying caricature of #IdentityLGBTQIATrans in the form of #IndivComedianBillyBrowningAKAHogathaCystyAKAHogKitty, which is contrasted with an image of Russian influencer #IndivPersonalityInfluencerElenaDeligioz (presumably representative of a #PleaHeteronormativity position). #MetaphorVersusDiptych #FabricationIdentifyConstruction
Context: according to: https://filmstrendz.com/elena-deligioz/ "Elena Deligioz is a Russian Instagram star, model and social media influencer, best known for her Instagram account" https://www.instagram.com #PhenomnCosplayMilitary /_elena_deligioz_official_/ where she is known for her soldier cosplayer... i.e. a modern day #TropeShieldMaiden ? And, as per 'Hogkitty' via an interview by #PoliticsNationalismAustralia YouTuber #IndivYouTuberDiaBeltranAKAClaudiaBenitez i.e. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/jun/05/victorian-liberals-fear-far-right-extremist-youtuber-dia-beltran where Beltran talks to Browning about his character:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlTdfm0_0VA As is evident in this #WebsiteMumsnet comment, the representation has clearly been normalised: "Epic trolling and really funny. Meet Hogkitty / Hogatha Cysty. Most of her best work is on TikTok, but there is stuff on YouTube too. Enjoy!" https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4487760-I-have-found-a-Drag-Queen-I-like #PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingCyberTrolling
Supplementary: Browning's 'HogKitty' character represents a hyperreality as per #IndivSociologistJeanBaudrillard's #TheorySimulacrum i.e. "Simulation [of an othered, trans caricature] is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or a substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map [i.e. an othered, trans caricature] that precedes the territory [of an authentic trans person] - precession of simulacra - it is the map [i.e. caricature] that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map." https://web.stanford.edu/class/history34q/readings/Baudrillard/Baudrillard_Simulacra.html
Addendum: two representations pitted against each other: the one of the left being a pure fiction; the one on the right, a product (construction) of social media. #_Focal

Addendum: #IndivSociologistAndreasReckwitz "instead of constructing an antagonistic clash between various cultures (and their cultural patterns), I would like to argue that in late modernity we witness a much more antagonism between what I call, 'regimens of culturalisation': not cultures facing off against each other but, more fundamentally two contrary conceptions of what culture means, and therefore two contrary formers, which the cultural sphere is organised. In late modernity a wide-ranging, culturalisation of 'the social' is taking place, however it has two forms, that are very different from each other: Culturalisation1 as I would like to call it, can be observed as a culturalisation of forms of life and sort of global cultural market: here cultural good compete for the subjects who are striving for individual self-realisation. This is what I would call #TheoryHyperculture. Culturalisation2 is a different regimen. This culturalisation aims at collectives, and sets them up as communities sharing an identity and a set of morals. It employs, a strict inside/outside dualism, and follows the model of homogeneous communities created as 'imagined communities': this constellation I would call #TheoryEssentialismCultural. #TheoryModernityLate (and #TheoryModernityLiquid as defined by #IndivSociologistZygmuntBauman) is marked by conflict between these two regimens of culturalisation, which has led to a contradictory constellation of opening and closure."

In some senses, this conceptualisation of 'hyperculture' and 'cultural essentialism' feels reminiscent of #IndivSociologistFerdinandTonnies' #TheorySocialRelationshipsGesellschaft (individual oriented, business and commerce dominate) and #TheorySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft (group oriented, tradition dominates) i.e. http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=72 Also #IndivHistoricalFigureEmileDurkheim Given this, Tonnies' theory was directed towards understanding the transformation from the pre-urban to the urban, not late modernity as per Reckwitz theorisation. Interestingly, the conceptualisation provides some explanation for antagonism towards #TheoryGlobalisation, exemplified by the #OtheringElitesGlobal caricaturisation as proffered by #PoliticsConservatismSocialSoCon.s
Reckwitz's point about: "subjects who are striving for individual self-realisation", might tie into #IndivPhilosopherLouisAlthusser's #TheoryInterpellation (this needs to be explored further).
Additionally, #IndivScholarTimothySnyder's #TheoryPoliticsOfInevitability i.e.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eghl19elKk8&t=87s feels reminiscent of (at least how Reckwitz explains it), Fukuyama's #1992_TheEndOfHistoryAndTheLastMan theory.

Supplementary: when considered in context with tweets, which follow a similar trope there is a clear gender divide: males who don't fit masculine stereotypes are positioned in relation to a (good/bad) #MetaphorVersusHardSoft dichotomy whereas females who don't fit feminine stereotypes are positioned in relation to a (good/bad) #MetaphorVersusPrettyUgly (good/bad) dichotomy. #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations

"Moral Bounds: Here action is seen as motion, and moral action is seen as motion within prescribed bounds or on a prescribed path. Immoral people are those who transgress the bounds or deviate from the path. The logic of this metaphor is that transgressors and deviants are dangerous to society not only because they can lead others astray, but because they create new paths to traverse, thus blurring the clear, prescribed, socially accepted boundaries between right and wrong." http://www.wwcd.org/issues/Lakoff.html #OtheringOutGroupTransgressiveDegenerate

Assertion of conventional (social conservative) gender values.
