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_.

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!

Supplementary: Browning's 'HogKitty' character represents a hyperreality as per #IRLSociologistJeanBaudrillard's #TheoryPhilosophySimulacrum 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

Supplementary: "When it comes to estimating the size of demographic groups, Americans rarely get it right. In two recent YouGov polls, we asked respondents to guess the percentage (ranging from 0% to 100%) of American adults who are members of 43 different groups, including racial and religious groups, as well as other less frequently studied groups, such as pet owners and those who are left-handed.
When people's average perceptions of group sizes are compared to actual population estimates, an intriguing pattern emerges: Americans tend to vastly overestimate the size of minority groups. This holds for sexual minorities, including the proportion of gays and lesbians (estimate: 30%, true: 3%), bisexuals (estimate: 29%, true: 4%), and people who are transgender (estimate: 21%, true: 0.6%).

Context: "The use of child labor in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where nearly 60% of the world's cobalt is currently produced, is certainly a major issue that deserves the attention of consumers, corporations, and governments. However, some media outlets and social media users have distorted the issue into a rallying cry against the use of electric cars and clean energy." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/child-miners-electric-cars-work/

Addendum: the #MetaphorVersusSideBySideDiptych seems to make more sense when considered in terms of #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz's #TheoryRegimensOfCulturalisation1 i.e. #TheoryHyperculture + #TheoryCommunitarianismCultural and his #TheoryRegimensOfCulturalisation2 i.e. #TheoryEssentialismCultural. From this perspective, processes of #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation and #TheoryHypercultureHybridity implicit in #TheoryGlobalisationCosmopolitanism (emblematic of the meme's 'Phillipe BA in Philosophy' characterisation), represent a challenge #TheorySociologySocialInertia and threat to collective #NarrativeStableMorality (emblematic of the meme's 'Robert the electrician apprentice' characterisation). #OtheringLegitimacyRealAmericans ?

"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

Supplementary: "Declinism is the tendency to see the past in an overly positive light and to view the present or future in an overly negative light, leading us to believe that things are worse than they used to be. Declinism is often a feeling harbored about the overall state of a country, society, or institution, with the view that it is in decline or getting worse." https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/declinism

#ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues
Context: this image is a #CharacterisationDerivativeWorkCoOption. The original, full-frame illustration shows a #MetaphorVersusSideBySideDiptych comparison of a mother and her daughter. This version has been cropped significantly. The illustration was created by #CaricaturistLaineyMolnar i.e. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=6854550261266833&set=a.2997932346928663 Unlike the cropped version, the original presents a positive interpretation, where "Me at age 31" represents a contemporary, #NarrativeValuesCosmopolitan and #PoliticsLiberalismLiberalWorldview as contrasted with the depiction of a #PhenomnRoleMarriageHousewife and #PhenomnRoleFamilyMother as per "My mom at age 31" reference. The implication is that the change is the positive consequence of changing attitudes and presumably, the impact of #CauseFeminismWomensLiberationMovementWLM
Addendum: #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz "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 #IRLSociologistZygmuntBauman) 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 #IRLSociologistFerdinandTonnies' #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGesellschaft (individual oriented, business and commerce dominate) and #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft (group oriented, tradition dominates) i.e. http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=72 Also #IRLHistoricalFigureEmileDurkheim 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 #IRLPhilosopherLouisAlthusser's #TheoryInterpellation (this needs to be explored further).
Additionally, #IRLScholarTimothySnyder'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: "The great summit of declinism--the peak from which all subsequent declinism has declined--was established in 1918, in the book that gave decline its good name in publishing: the German historian Oswald Spengler's best-selling, thousand-page work 'The Decline of the West.' Spengler has by now been reduced to an adjective; news-magazine writers back in the nineteen-seventies always used to refer to Henry Kissinger as 'Spenglerian,' meaning farsighted in his pessimism and trying to manage the decline of liberalism in the face of the inexorable spread of totalitarian societies." https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/09/12/decline-fall-rinse-repeat #IRLAuthorOswaldSpengler #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPHenryKissinger #1918_TheDeclineOfTheWest i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decline_of_the_West

Addendum: comparison made between Barack Obama and Trump's greeting Japanese emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko upon arrival at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo - Obama bowing in 2009 i.e. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/6580190/Barack-Obama-criticised-for-treasonous-bow-to-Japanese-emperor.html and Trump with a handshake and nod in 2017 i.e. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-trump-asia-japan-emperor/trump-greets-japanese-emperor-with-a-handshake-and-nod-but-no-bow-idUSKBN1D60CG While the first gesture assumes mutual respect (through being gracious) the second symbolically positions both within a world-view framed in terms of business (and fails to recognise the symbolic importance/grandeur of the Japanese emperor).
Selective photographic evidence of Obama and Trump's interaction with military personnel. There appears to be an important subtext to these images. Whereas the first shows a white soldier holding an umbrella for Obama i.e. African American (which he does so as an act of duty/service) the second shows a white president (Trump) dignifying an African American soldier through replacing a soldier's hat (logically interpreted as an act of humility).

Assertion of conventional (social conservative) gender values. In doing so, the comparison can be seen as an example of #IRLScholarHenriTajfel's #OtheringStereotypeSocialIdentity around 'in' and 'out' groups, where two images of #OrgClassifPPUKLiberalDemocratLaylaMoran are presented in such a way as to signify a contrast (according the values of the person posting the tweet). On the left she is shown to (positively) represent a feminine archetype whereas on the right to (negatively) represent a #NarrativeUtopiaWokeLiberal i.e. #OtheringOutGroup
