Supplementary #NewspaperUKOnlineTheLondonEconomicJosephConnor "More than half of people feel politicians are using so-called culture wars to distract from other issues, according to a survey which also found the term 'woke' is increasingly seen as an insult. Almost two thirds (62%) of those polled said politicians 'invent or exaggerate' culture wars as a political tactic - up from less than half (44%) three years ago, the research suggested. Just one in 10 people felt politicians who talk about divisions over cultural issues genuinely believe it is an important topic, with 56% feeling they are just trying to distract people from other important topics." https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/public-feel-politicians-invent-or-exaggerate-culture-wars-as-tactic-poll-362335/ #PhenomnPolarisationDivisiveIssue #TauntMediaManipulationDistraction #EDUUKUniversityKingsCollegeLondonKCL #BrandIpsosMori

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification ^[Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue ^[Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange ^[Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

Supplementary #MagazineNewStatesmanZoeStrimpel "The Mathias Corvinus Collegium, named after the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1458 to 1490, is a vast network of educational outreach and college-level curricula funded by the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán's populist, anti-immigration Fidesz party - and its private interests - to the tune of a $1.7bn endowment. The MCC is bound up with Fidesz; it is seen both as a training ground for party elites and, with its stranglehold on funds and power, a key instrument for curtailing ideological diversity in Hungarian higher education. Fidesz, which is lionised by Maga conservatives in the United States and populist right-wingers in Britain, is despised on Hungary's left and in Brussels. It goes to lengths to insist it is not racist and, despite a conspiratorial obsession with George Soros, whom they see as consistently working against Hungary's interests, not anti-Semitic. But Fidesz's rhetoric has at times been hard to see as entirely benign, particularly since the migrant crisis of 2016. 'We must state that we do not want to be diverse and do not want to be mixed, ' said Orbán in 2018. 'We do not want our own colour, traditions and national culture to be mixed with those of others. We do not want this. We do not want that at all. We do not want to be a diverse country. ' The reference to 'colour ' is hard to overlook, and laws have been changed so that it is illegal to 'settle foreign populations in Hungary '." https://www.newstatesman.com/world/europe/2023/08/inside-viktor-orbans-ideas-factory #OrgClassifPPHUFideszMagyarPolgariSzovetsegViktorOrban #PleaMAGA #IRLFinancierGeorgeSoros #2015_EuropeanMigrantCrisis ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorPurityRaceMixing #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI #PoliticsNationalismHungarian

Then there are the shopkeeper-type conservatives, who think the culture wars are all a silly hoo-ha about pronouns, toilet usage, dramas about Cleopatra and the Royal Family as seen on TV. They scold that we should be properly concerned with material materials: the cost of living, inflation, mortgage payments, industrial disputes, the future of the Conservative party. Both conclusions, from the complacent left and bean-counting right, are based on misapprehensions. They derive from a double falsehood.

Addendum the article uses claims such as #MagazineNewsweekJulieBurchill: "One of the most extraordinary features of the Culture Wars--or Cancel Culture, as those who have been on the sharp end of the woke trials pitchforks call it--is that organizations who wake up late to wokeness will invariably court the favor of those who are not their natural audience at the expense of those who are. Thus, we see a company as long-beloved as Disney now abandoning its core family audience and instead catering to every whim demanded by the woke mob, a move both ineffective and, as we are seeing, unprofitable." to support its overall thesis about Disney being supposedly 'woke'. #MetaphorWarfareCulture #CatchcryCancelCulture #OtheringOutGroupGangMobLynch

Supplementary "A well-funded propaganda effort that intensified with MAGA's rise has depicted teachers as a dangerous force exerting outsized power over America's children. Panic about teachers 'indoctrinating' and 'brainwashing' students on behalf of alarming causes--and actively hiding it from parents--is standard fare on sites such as Heritage Foundation's and The Federalist and across the Murdoch universe. Social media teems with activists, acolytes, bots, and trolls echoing the fear-mongering.

Yet, notwithstanding the gadgets -- the rockets and the robots and the Department of Government Efficiency Musketeers, carrying backpacks crammed with laptops, dreaming of replacing federal employees with large language models -- few figures in public life are more shackled to the past. On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, Mr. Musk told a roaring, jubilant crowd that the election marked 'a fork in the road of human civilization.' He promised to 'take DOGE to Mars' and pledged to give Americans reasons to look 'forward to the future.' In 1932, when civilization stood at another fork in the road, the United States chose liberal democracy, and Franklin Roosevelt, who promised 'a new deal for the American people.' In his first 100 days, Mr. Roosevelt. signed 99 executive orders, and Congress passed more than 75 laws, beginning the work of rebuilding the country by establishing a series of government agencies to regulate the economy, provide jobs, aid the poor and construct public works. Mr. Musk is attempting to go back to that fork and choose a different path. Much of what he has sought to dismantle, from antipoverty programs to national parks, have their origins in the New Deal. Mr. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration provided 8.5 million Americans with jobs; Mr. Musk has measured his achievement by the number of jobs he has eliminated." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/opinion/elon-musk-doge-technocracy.html #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #CharacterisationVisionaryFuturist #MetaphorWarfareHeroMusketeer #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSFranklinDRooseveltFDR #IRLHistoricalFigureJoshuaHaldeman #PoliticsGovernanceTechnocracy #MetaphorDiseaseMindVirus #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #TauntPresumptionHubris #IRLEntrepreneurMarcAndreessen #TheoryFuturismFilippoTommasoMarinetti #PoliticsAuthoritarianismAutocracy https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/04/opinion/elon-musk-capitalism.html #NarrativeUtopiaPlacelessness #IRLAuthorDouglasAdams #IRLAuthorHGWells #IRLAuthorIainBanks #WorksSeriesTheCulture #ToponymAfricaSouthernSouthAfrica #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #PowerControlSegregationApartheid #IRLAuthorNovelistUrsulaLeGuin #IRLAuthorVirginiaWoolf

#EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaRitaAbrahamsen, #EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaMichaelWilliams "Ahmari's essay on dystopia begins by observing that 'Those of us who inhabit the Very Online Right like to point out how this or that new social phenomenon resembles this or that dystopian fiction. ... these resemblances to fictional dystopias should arrest us' (Ahmari 2021). Then he asks, 'What if dystopia is already here? What if our territory already conforms to maps drawn long ago by science-fiction authors? Could it be that we have crossed the invisible frontier that divides an ordinary place, an ordinary topos, from a dystopian realm?' Indeed, Ahmari is effusive in lauding the ability of dystopian fiction to place issues of the day (such as 'cancel culture, woke-ism and gender ideology') within wider frameworks that 'uncover the deeper currents shaping our age.' He sees these contemporary phenomena as 'merely the acceleration of older and deeper processes of ideological transformation' that dystopian fiction can help expose." Abrahamsen, R. and M. C.

#IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Viewed against that history, Musk's line about 'abolishing' the EU ^{[tweet] [jpeg]} is more than a libertarian thought experiment. It condenses the political slogans of Trumpism and Brexit into one sentence: the nation-state as the only legitimate unit of sovereignty; supranational institutions as inherently undemocratic; the EU as something done to people, not by them. Medvedev's one-word response - 'Exactly' - makes plain how neatly this dovetails with Moscow's long-term ambitions. As former president and now deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, he has become one of the regime's most aggressive public voices, regularly threatening Europe with escalation and calling for a remade world order. When he endorses the abolition of the EU, he is not being rhetorical; he is restating a core Kremlin objective that has underpinned years of covert finance, disinformation and interference. The screenshot collapses those agendas into a single image: a leading Russian official cheerleading the destruction of the EU, and a tech mogul with his hand on the levers of global speech amplifying the same idea." https://pdjukes.substack.com/p/musk-medvedev-and-the-long-war-on #OrgEU #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaDmitryMedvedev ^[tweet] #PhenomnBrexit

#EDUUKUniversityOfGlasgowRebeccaHarrison "Since its rise to power, the First Order has obsessively undermined the ideologies of the former New Republic, which calls to mind Trump repealing Obama-era legislation in areas such as health and welfare. In spreading fear among citizens and dismantling liberal institutions, its leaders also resemble ordinary businessmen and politicians. Where, in The Force Awakens, Kylo harboured fantasies of being the next Darth Vader, here Snoke sneers that he should 'take that ridiculous' mask off. Facing Luke Skywalker in a duel, Kylo also removes his cloak. Dressed in a grey suit, he is less Darth Vader and more Donald Trump Jr. The First Order's arch enemy, General Leia Organa, meanwhile stands in for Hillary Clinton - another woman with too little support for her political agenda, with the air of a lost cause, whose loyalists happen to be much more ethnically diverse than their opponents. This latter difference is thrown into sharp relief when the white Captain Phasma attempts to destroy Finn and Rose, two Resistance fighters of colour, calling them 'scum'. Not overt racism, but reminiscent of a US administration that has advocated racist policies." https://theconversation.com/the-last-jedi-latest-star-wars-is-a-fable-for-our-post-truth-times-89256 #FictionalCharacterStarWarsDarthVader #FictionalCharacterStarWarsSupremeLeaderSnoke ^[Wikipedia] #IRLBusinesspersonDonaldTrumpJr #FictionalCharacterStarWarsPrincessLeia #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyHillaryClinton #FictionalCharacterStarWarsCaptainPhasma ^[Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterStarWarsFinn ^[Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterStarWarsRoseTico ^[Wikipedia]

Supplementary #AdvocacyEUSocialEuropeJustusSeuferle "Two competing ideas about the worker dominate contemporary discourse. The first--predominantly found in the United States--is cultural; the second, once prevalent in Europe, is material. The cultural definition, often reflected in self-identification surveys, hinges on the colour of one's collar. It distinguishes between blue-collar and white-collar workers--those who work with their hands versus those in bureaucratic or intellectual roles. Under this framework, even a small business owner can be considered a worker. The only criterion is a sense of cultural belonging tied to one's type of work. This vague and malleable definition leads to absurd outcomes: a brash, orange-hued billionaire with a neoliberal agenda can be hailed as the champion of the working class. In contrast, the European tradition has historically adhered to a materialist, Marxist perspective. A worker, in this view, is someone who owns nothing but their labour power and is therefore compelled into what Marx termed 'relations of production' with those who control the means of production. Marx described the worker as doubly free--free from external coercion to labour, yet also free from ownership of the resources necessary for survival. This condition creates structural dependency and limits individual freedom. By this definition, liberal democracy has yet to fulfil its promise of liberty for the working class. This framework does not rely on cultural identity or habits but on economic position. It sees the term 'worker' as a measure of dependence." https://www.socialeurope.eu/how-the-right-hijacked-the-working-class-for-culture-wars #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionEverydayPeopleEveryman #TheoryMarxism #CatchcryIdentityPolitics #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #TauntOrangeManBad #IdentityClassBlueCollar #IdentityClassWhiteCollarMiddle #PoliticsCapitalismNeoliberalism #IRLSociologistPierreBourdieu

Context "A fierce debate over social justice and identity-based politics seems to have exploded in recent years in the Western world, and few areas of life remain untouched by cultural conflicts. To some, identity-based politics has been embraced as an effective strategy to combat discrimination and marginalization. To others, it may seem that identity politics has resulted in culture wars involving violent conflicts and a destructive exchange of labels. Identity-based politics often relate to volatile issues such as abortion, homosexuality, transgender rights, pornography, multiculturalism and racism. Identity conflicts also involve fundamental orientations such as religion and ideology, as well as political issues ranging from freedom of speech to the distribution of wealth and privilege. Debates on these issues have challenged established views on equality and brought about an alternative demand for identity-based equity as a better approach. Even the term identity politics itself is debated, as many will contend that it is inherently biased and used by those who oppose struggles for social justice by marginalized groups. Regardless of one's position on the current culture wars, it seems apparent that they involve both struggles for social justice and struggles for power."

Supplementary #OrgUSProPublicaCoreyJohnson, #OrgUSProPublicaByardDuncan "Cambridge analysts ran the enhanced data through an algorithm to create psychological profiles that allowed for more incisive targeting. Potential voters were assigned one of five personality groups: risk-takers, carers, go-getters, individualists and supporters. Each got a tailored message. Risk-takers were viewed as highly neurotic and susceptible to ads that pricked their fears, Cambridge records show. Go-getters, on the other hand, would respond better to messages of optimism and the promise of a better future. ... For the gun industry, a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Hillary Clinton presidency would have meant more legislative battles and a possible return to gun restrictions and loss of profits. Patrick O'Malley, the man who had been running the NSSF's largely successful electioneering effort for more than a decade, realized it needed to modernize, according to Cambridge emails. So in April 2016, O'Malley, an NSSF contractor and political consultant, hired Cambridge Analytica. The written agreement called for Cambridge to mobilize supporters of the Second Amendment in the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire." ^[ProPublica] #OrgUSNationalShootingSportsFoundationNSSF #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms #AdvocacyUSNationalRifleAssociationNRA #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyHillaryClinton #2016_ #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFlorida #ToponymAmericaNorthUSNorthCarolina #ToponymAmericaNorthUSVirginia #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMissouri #ToponymAmericaNorthUSColorado #ToponymAmericaNorthUSNevada #ToponymAmericaNorthUSWisconsin #ToponymAmericaNorthUSOhio #ToponymAmericaNorthUSPennsylvania #ToponymAmericaNorthUSNewHampshire #PhenomnMiningDataMicrotargeting

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned. Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'. The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.' In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'. His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign. Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'. 'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.' Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted. 'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.' In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/ #NMUKGBNews #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyOliverDowden #MetaphorSpatialEchoChamber #IRLPollsterFrankLuntz ^[Wikipedia] #PhenomnClimateChange #PhenomnClimateChangeGlobalWarming #PoliticsCapitalism

Supplementary #MetaphorWarfareCulture "While universities, museums, and even media establishments have been key battlefields in Johnson's 'War on Woke', these dusty and distant institutions pale in comparison to the arena of football. Not only is sport both a mixture of culture, ritual, community bonding and key to local and national identity, it takes place in real time - binding millions together in a lived experience with a precarious and thrilling outcome. The 2012 London Olympics proved what a collective force sporting success can be. The Euro 2020 championship showed how even failure at a football final can expose the soul of a nation. Gareth Southgate and his diverse, socially-conscious team have given us another kind of England. A country famed for its long history of migration and asylum, this vision was set out by the England manager in his 'Dear England' letter to the country, in response to criticisms of his players taking the knee to recognise the reality of structural racism. In doing so, Southgate was not only directly taking on Britain's right-wing press (the Sun described it as 'virtue-signalling baloney' and a 'grotesque woke pantomime', while the Financial Times reported concerns that Southgate is an agent of 'deep woke'), he was also standing up against the holder of one of the most powerful offices of state - the Home Secretary - who had dismissed the stance as 'gesture politics' and averred that fans had a right to boo it. 'That's a choice for them, quite frankly,' Priti Patel told GB News." https://bylinetimes.com/2021/07/13/a-pitched-battle-johnson-and-patels-culture-war-flaw-finally-exposed/

"In het Nederlandse hoger onderwijs speelt zich een heuse cultuuroorlog af. Onder de noemers 'diversiteit' en 'inclusiviteit' en aangejaagd door speciale diversity officers moeten de universiteiten worden gezuiverd van 'anti-zwart-racisme, witte superioriteit en kolonialisme'. Maar die aanpak stuit op kritiek. „Mensen zijn bang en voelen zich gemuilkorfd."" translated via GoogleTranslate "A real culture war is taking place in Dutch higher education. Under the headings of 'diversity' and 'inclusiveness' and driven by special diversity officers, the universities must be purged of 'anti-black racism, white superiority and colonialism'.

"Habermas sees the modern public sphere as, in many ways, the victim of its own success. As it expanded far beyond its original basis of educated male property-owners, material inequalities could no longer be set aside, but rather became the subject of public debate (1962 [1989: 127]). And this debate was no longer a matter of rational-critical analysis of state action by the assembled public, but of negotiation between interest groups which bypass public reason. Instead of the approximation of society to the ideal type, what emerged was an impoverished pseudo-public sphere, lacking its original capacity for rational-critical discourse, easily manipulated by states, corporations, and interest groups using the techniques of 'public relations' (1962 [1989: 176, 236]). Its role now, as in the feudal era, is to acclaim decisions which have already been made." ^{[encyclopædia]} #IRLPhilosopherJurgenHabermas #TheoryThePublicSphere #PoliticsFeudalism ^[Wikipedia]

Supplementary #IRLYouTuberOfeliaCarbonellTorrents ^[Wikipedia] "We live in the age of performativity: what we say we are is as important or more important than what we actually are, because half of the things we do we publish online, shouting it to the four winds. The networks do not explain who you are, but who you want to be.... I grew up with the internet: blogs, memes, kittens and 'The Fall of Edgar'. I experienced the boom of the fourth wave feminist movement first hand, wading through the bottomless pit that was Tumblr at the time, land of the 'social justice warriors' who laid the foundations of today's cancel culture. The concept of MeToo was simple but terribly powerful. Speaking out about everything that until then we didn't say for fear of being the only ones and finding ourselves alone against the world.... The culture war has helped define spaces, to put the focus on issues that we used to avoid. This obsession with identity has made us have to choose sides: sexist or feminist? Woke or incel ? This game, this clash, having to take sides and position ourselves as if our choice interests someone, has made society move towards a more feminist future, yes. Moving towards the extremes puts the problem at the centre, and although it is childish and simplistic to talk about good and bad, being able to openly say that you are a feminist makes it clear who prefers to remain sexist." https://elmondedema.cat/de-precious-snowflakes-al-woke/ #CharacterisationWeaknessSnowflake #CauseFeminism #TVTheSimpsonsLisa #MetaphorWarfareCulture #TheoryPerformativity #TheoryPerformativeActivism #CauseMeToo #TheoryDeclinism #PhenomnPolarisation #TheoryModelBinaryDichotomy
