Addendum the tweet criticises the PragerU short for its willingness to ignore #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional (and actually, #TheorySociologyIntersectionality). In this sense, the criticism implies that the piece is best understood as a deliberate, culturally induced form of ignorance i.e. #EpistemologyAgnotologyIgnorance ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuousGlibFacile

A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media. Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain. (No evidence has refuted Ensing's half-Puerto Rican heritage, although critics have alleged a misleading opportunistic and "rebrand")." https://www.prnewsonline.com/sephora-influencer-PR-Ensing #BrandSephora #2020_CapitolSiege #MemeAmusedEatingPopcorn #IRLPersonalityInfluencerGabrielZamora #OtheringCaricatureImperialismBlackfaceBlackfishing #ToponymAmericaSouthPuertoRico

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).

Addendum The claim that "The uneducated young soldier, AudieMurphy in WWII, knew nothing of CRT, transgenders or WhiteRage" is pure speculation i.e. #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveWishfulThinking / #ReasoningTentativeHypothesisConjecture. Also, presumably, the 'ColdWar' reference here is a reference to criticism of #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin's #2022_InvasionOfUkraine - along the lines of similar tweets referencing #NarrativeWarWWIII

"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. "I'm sorry, Audie. I'm sorry!"

Supplementary #NMUSPublicBroadcastingServicePBS "The U.S. government is offering military funeral honors for Ashli Babbitt, the rioter who was killed at 35 by an officer in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Babbitt was a U.S. Air Force veteran from California who was shot dead wearing a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders while attempting to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker's Lobby inside the Capitol. Offering military honors to one of the Capitol rioters is part of President Donald Trump's attempts to rewrite that chapter after the 2020 election as a patriotic stand, given he still denies he lost that election. Babbitt has gained martyr status among Republicans, and the Trump administration agreed to pay just under $5 million to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit that her family filed over her shooting." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-administration-offers-military-funeral-honors-to-capitol-rioter-ashli-babbitt #IRLDeceasedAshliBabbitt ^[Wikipedia] #OrgUSFedAFMVeteran #2020_CapitolSiege #MetaphorMartyr #ConspiracyTheory_StolenElectionBigLie

#MagazineUSTheAtlanticPhillipsOBrien "The persistence of the Putin-Cruz-Carlson vision of war is surprising, because we have decades, even centuries, of evidence to the contrary. Since the Industrial Revolution, and in many ways before, the ability to run a complex system has been the cornerstone of strategic success. Though much military popular literature likes to stress the human drama of combat--the bravery and sacrifice, the cowardice and atrocity--it is not nearly as important in victory or defeat as many people assume. In state-to-state wars--a category that includes the current Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as broader conflicts such as the two world wars--the side that can most efficiently deploy more effective equipment operated by better-trained personnel has typically emerged victorious." ^{[digital archives]} #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverHyper #MetaphorVersusSimpleComplexAnswers #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #MetaphorVersusWestEastRussia / #OrgRUAFM

Supplementary "hypermasculinity, sociological term denoting exaggerated forms of masculinity, virility, and physicality. Scholars have suggested that there are three distinct characteristics associated with the hypermasculine personality: (1) the view of violence as manly, (2) the perception of danger as exciting and sensational, and (3) callous behavior toward women and a regard toward emotional displays as feminine. Hypermasculine archetypes abound in the mass media, especially action films. The films of Clint Eastwood, for example, usually feature a strong, silent hero who exhibits no emotion as he dispatches his enemies. A female lead character with exaggerated 'feminine' qualities is often added to accentuate the masculine traits of the hero." ^{[encyclopædia]} #IRLActorClintEastwood #MetaphorWarfareHero #TheoryCodedFemininityOver #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverStoic
