Supplementary #2023_TheWizardOfAI https://alanwarburton.co.uk/thewizardofai #PhenomnVideoEssay by #IRLAnimatorAlanWarburton offers up a technological #TheoryInstrumentalism.ist view of generative AI framed according to an #MetaphorVersusUsThem logic. His #TheoryDeterminismFatalistic perspective describes the phenomenon in terms of a supposed 'wonder panic' (which appears to be simply a rebadging of the #NarrativeUtopianismTechnological concept), which he contrast with #TheoryAffectiveResponseNarrativeTechnophobia. #TheoryModernityLiquid #PleaAuthenticity #MetaphorVersusLegitimateIllegitimate #VlogAIInsightsExplorer (review of the above)

"Something odd is going on here, and I will tell you this, climate change, that is the new talking point that is going to fear monger society. That is what is being utilized by the matrix. They are coming out and climate change is their baby, they want their 15-minutes cities - 'oh, perfect little little cities created for quarantine just in case another pandemic comes' - Andrew Tate (?) is now going against that talking point. That is the means by which they get to control you. Climate change is the means by which they are going to try to get digital IDs, and electric cars, and all of these mechanisms by which they can control you with a button and here's this guy who's got a big following coming out and criticizing the face of that movement who's Greta Thunberg.

Supplementary #EDUSELundsUniversitetMartinWolgast, #EDUSELundsUniversitetSimaWolgast: "it should also be noted that the term 'race' in the present study is understood as the result of socially embedded processes of racialization (Miles 1993). In Sweden, where the present study was conducted, the concept of 'race' however is very rarely used and often seen as controversial in Swedish public discourse. In fact, with reference to the history of racial biology and eugenics, the concept of race is officially avoided and discarded (SOU 2015: 103). Instead, concepts like 'migrants,' 'migrant background' or 'ethnicity' are used as proxies for race in Swedish public discourse (Bredström & Mulinari 2022; Mattsson 2005). Despite this, these proxy terms are closely tied to an implicit notion of 'race,' and 'Swedishness' is intimately tied to racialized 'whiteness' (Hübinette & Lundström 2014; Mattsson 2005; Neergaard & Mulinari 2017)." https://journal-njmr.org/articles/10.33134/njmr.572 #TheoryProxyDiscourses #MetaphorPurityRace #ToponymEuropeNordicScandinaviaSweden

The logic of this tweet seems to go along the lines of: "it's OK to have some non white people on #NMUKITVGMB - in a tokenistic kind of way (because after all, it's not like they're essential of anything) - as a type of 'decoration' / evidence used to stave off criticism of being racist, but of course, because they're not fulfilling an essential role - the more of 'them' i.e. #MetaphorVersusUsThem that you have the fewer 'legitimate' i.e. white people that you have to do the actual job". The 'give away' is the characterisation of a "British white person" i.e. a 'legitimate British person' (pointing to the idea that #IdentityWhite is an essential attribute of Britishness). The tweet is an overt example of deep-seated #OtheringDiscriminationRacism and strongly implies that the author feels under attack i.e. #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation as they struggle (resist) to engaged with contemporary society i.e. a #TheoryPoliticsOfEternity if ever there was one.

#NewspaperUKOnlineDorsetEye "A self-styled 'community patrol' in Bournemouth has been exposed as a far-right vigilante operation steeped in anti-migrant hatred, despite its claims of neutrality and public service.
The group, calling itself Safeguard Force, boasts of 200 volunteers and thousands of pounds in donations, but beneath its fluorescent vests lies a toxic mixture of racism, intimidation, and fantasies of violence against asylum seekers." https://dorseteye.com/behind-the-hi-vis-far-right-militias-masquerading-as-community-safety-in-dorset/ #ToponymEuropeUKEnglandDorsetBournemouth #OrgSyndicateVigilanteUKSafeguardForce [commentary] #CharacterisationVigilanteAndOrMilitia #PhenomnImmigrationRefugeeAsylumSeeker #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim #PowerControlMicrofascismIntimidation #PowerControlMicrofascismProvocation
#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesOllyHaynes "However, Byline Times can reveal that one of Safeguard Force's founders, Gary Bartlett, a Dorset-based small businessman, helped organise protests against asylum seeker hotels and moderates a Facebook group containing Islamophobic and anti-migrant posts in which he asked for support for Safeguard Force. And a key spokesperson for the group stood for Reform this February.
Bartlett is the admin, alongside a handful of others, of 'Taking Back Our Country', a Facebook group which organises nationalist and anti-migrant protests in Dorset." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/08/14/founders-of-apolitical-patrol-group-in-bournemouth-include-asylum-hotel-activist-and-reform-candidate/ #PhenomnImmigrationRefugeeAsylumAccommodation #EDUUKUniversityOfOxfordCentreOnMigrationPolicyAndSocietyCOMPASTheMigrationObservatory https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/asylum-accommodation-in-the-uk/ #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUK #HandleFacebookTakingBackOurCountry #IRLBusinesspersonGaryBartlett

Context this tweet is in response to the following tweet: [tweet] by Sadiq Khan where be praises the success of London NYE 2020 fireworks/celebrations, where in doing so, he states: "London stands together against racism. Tonight and always [hashtag]BlackLivesMatter @GeorgeThePoet". #2021_NYECelebrationsNewYearEveLondon #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM

Addendum presumably, "Turned it off for first time ever" describes the response the tweeter had to seeing the television broadcast of the London NYE 2020 celebrations i.e. that they 'turned their television off' upon seeing the televisation. And so, by inference, presumably, they didn't attend the celebrations in person (either because they live in London but decided not to attend or that they don't live in London but habitually watch the celebration on television).

Addendum the painting uses the metaphor of 'unmasking', where a supposed a 'truth' lies underneath (obscured by outward appearances).
A similar set of painting has been created using the same metaphor of #OrgClassifPPUKLabourJeremyCorbyn where his 'mask' supposedly conceals #OrgSyndicateTerrorismParamilitaryIRA and one of #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyTheresaMay where her 'mask' seemingly, conceals a #PhenomnTerrorism.ist wearing a #SymbolHeadgearBalaclava [Instagram]
Supplementary #IRLScholarGeorgeLakoff "Consider Brexit, which used the metaphor of 'entering' and 'leaving' the EU. There is a universal metaphor that states are locations in space: you can enter a state, be deep in some state, and come out that state. If you enter a café and then leave the café , you will be in the same location as before you entered. But that need not be true of states of being. But that was the metaphor used with Brexit; Britons believed that after leaving the EU, things would be as before when the entered the EU. They were wrong. Things changed radically while they were in the EU." https://george-lakoff.com/2016/07/23/understanding-trump-2/ #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT
Addendum Additionally, much of the pro-Brexit campaigning employed a #MetaphorClosedSystem, where mythology around the #ToponymEuropeUKEngland_ being an island (and therefore separate and discrete) was leveraged. The "£350 million per week" savings claim is a ket example of this:

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 Also [skeet]

#ConspiracyTheoryCabalPizzagate e.g. "Four minutes into a video that was posted on Instagram last month, #IRLSingerJustinBieber leaned into the camera and adjusted the front of his black knit beanie. For some of his 130 million followers, it was a signal.
In the video, someone had posted a comment asking Mr. Bieber to touch his hat if he had been a victim of a child-trafficking ring known as PizzaGate. Thousands of comments were flooding in, and there was no evidence that Mr. Bieber had seen that message. But the pop star's innocuous gesture set off a flurry of online activity, which highlighted the resurgence of one of social media's early conspiracy theories." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/27/technology/pizzagate-justin-bieber-qanon-tiktok.html

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 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 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).
#TauntWoke is intended as a negative characterisation meaning something like, "uppity" or "you think you're too good for us" (which suggests that the poster's motivation is that they feel challenged/insecure - and so need to go on the offensive). #OtheringElitesHollywoodHollyweird #MetaphorConformitySheepSheeple #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyNancyPelosi

Supplementary "Propaganda is a type of communication built for warfare. It is communication as a kind of force, a weapon in itself. War propaganda typically focuses on us versus them, emotional appeals, conspiracy and other tactics designed to erode the confidence of the enemy or build the confidence of one's own side." https://www.justsecurity.org/77078/the-propaganda-playbook-a-section-by-section-dissection-of-tucker-carlsons-communication-strategy/ #PhenomnPropaganda #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #TheoryAffectiveResponseAmygdalaHijack
Addendum The repeated reference to 'they' implies that the author has no agency of their own - an admission that someone else holds all the power. The statement symbolically represents a parent-child relationship, where the author is the 'child' and the 'they' is the parent. Such appeals set up a false dichotomy between 'us' and 'them' - where 'we' are right and 'they' are wrong. It's a simply binary designed to appeal to your emotions rather than your sense (and because of its clichéd nature, is most likely intended to appeal to someone who isn't particularly well educated).
"BREXITERS are NOT xenophobes or racists but have constantly to fend off assertions by bitter Remainers. Our raison d'être is to be able to rule ourselves, our fishing grounds and our democracy with representatives who can easily be booted out. The EU project is staffed by unelecteds, is unaudited and is a bureaucratic nightmare of 28 nations with almost as many languages, controlled from within the Twin Towers of Brussels and Strasbourg. We reject open immigration and the influx of a culture so alien and destructive to our own.
