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

Supplementary #OrgEUPatriotsForEuropePfE "At the initiative of our Members of the European Parliament, Philippe Olivier and Patricia Chagnon, the theme addressed, analyzed, and debated at the conference held on April 21, 2023, was woke ideology. Inclusive writing, gender theory, the destruction of works of art, and hatred incited in the name of imagined oppressions woke ideology is infiltrating the entire cultural sphere, gradually embedding itself in our legal, cultural, and societal frameworks. ... Organizing this event in Paris is particularly meaningful, as it was in this very capital that the French Revolution was born a political and institutional upheaval that was merely the logical outcome of a cultural battle waged beforehand by the Enlightenment, an intellectual movement that, in that instance as well, played out on a European scale." https://pfe-foundation.eu/en/woke-ideology-deconstructing-deconstruction-2/ #2023_DeconstructingDeconstruction ^[pdf] #ToponymEuropeFranceParis #OrgClassifPPFRRassemblementNationalRNPhilippeOlivier ^[Wikipedia] #OrgClassifPPFRRassemblementNationalRNPatriciaChagnon ^[Wikipedia]

#OrgClassifPPITFratelliDItaliaFDLGiorgiaMeloni ^[Wikipedia] "While Reagan had declared victory more than three decades ago, Meloni has heralded a pushback if not an open revolt against the same forces which have now reincarnated grotesquely. It is also a declaration of war against an invisible internationalist regime, which in her words wants all of us 'to simply be perfect consumer slaves.' Her viral speech is a powerful and compelling reformulation of the widespread condemnation of the anti-woke discourse, which has gained strength in recent years." https://thedharmadispatch.substack.com/p/giorgia-melonis-triumph-is-a-wake #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSRonaldReagan #TheoryGlobalisation #PoliticsCapitalismConsumerism

"...they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can't define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother, no! I must be citizen X, gender X, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators." #IdentityConservativeChristian #CatchcryDiosPatriaYReyGodFatherlandKing ^[Wikipedia] #NarrativeUtopiaHomeland #BrandSagePublicationsEncyclopediaOfMotherhoodAndreaOReilly "The image of the prolific, chaste, and virtuous 'national mother' is a strikingly common symbol across nations. Traditional, patriarchal images of women as mothers are central to the nationalist project of myth making and its actual biological continuity into the future. Pure and virtuous mothers are believed and expected to reproduce the nation in body (children and future nationals) and mind (preservation of past traditions, food and ritual, and language). Heterosexual women and mothers symbolize and are expected to preserve the nation's past, present, and future. The political man is constructed as rational, objective, and devoid of emotion in peace time, and defenders of the nation in war. In contrast, women are pictured as virtuous reproducers of the nation, stereotypically innocent victims, needing protection from men. The differential treatment of men and women 'of the nation' is believed to be necessary to ensure and secure the group's survival. The nation's future is believed to hinge upon the chastity of its women--jealously guarded or protected from the ravaging hands of the Other." ^{[academic source]} #PhenomnRoleFamilyMother

Supplementary #MagazineUSTheNewYorkerIanCrouch "Mostly, though, liberals just laughed, and, for a rare moment in the era of President Trump, they laughed at themselves--appropriating the offending tweet as a self-reflexive meme that mocked the original poster and liberal culture in equal measure. Users posted an array of photos--Power Rangers, Care Bears, the animated eco-warriors of 'Captain Planet,' the Young Pope, all manner of cute animals, Justin Trudeau--as other visions of the long dreamed-of progressive future. As the meme spread, it devolved into near meaningless: people are now posting photos of just about anything with the phrase attached. It has become the first 'Thanks, Obama' or 'Benghazi' joke of the Trump era--an ironic repurposing of conservative outrage that is defused and made ridiculous. The threats posed by Trumpism, of course, are serious--and one of Trumpism's central themes is an ever-narrowing conception of what it means to be an American, what it means to belong, who gets to be counted as 'us' and who as 'other.' To this end, the original tweet is exactly the kind of thing that deserves serious refutation. But one of the offshoots of the rise of Trump has been to rob many liberals of their sense of humor. To pay close attention to the news is to trap oneself in a daily cycle of outrage, self-righteousness, a pained recognition of the inelegance of that self-righteousness, and, finally, a feeling of futility." https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/this-is-the-joke-that-liberals-need #IRLSportspersonJohnRocker #NarrativeValuesCosmopolitan #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #PoliticsLiberalismLiberalWorldview #PhenomnMulticulturalism #MemeThanksObama #TauntObamaDerangementSyndromeODS / #HashtagBenghaziAcrostic https://www.vox.com/2018/11/20/17996182/why-do-liberals-make-fun-of-benghazi-all-the-time #ConspiracyTheory_BenghaziGovCoverUp #PhenomnEpiphenomenon #TheoryModernityReflexive #TVPowerRangers #BrandCareBears #TVCaptainPlanet #TVTheYoungPope #OrgClassifPPCALiberalPartyJustinTrudeau

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 #TheoryCulturalEssentialism. #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." (transcript of video extract running from 4:03 to 5:36). https://www.mmg.mpg.de/342842/online-lecture-2019-02-27-reckwitz See pages 14-15 in Reckwitz, A. and V. A. Pakis (2021). 'The End of Illusions: Politics, Economy, and Culture in Late Modernity'. Cambridge, UK, Polity Press Cambridge, UK. ^[Worldcat] 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) ^[Folksonomy] 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eghl19elKk8&t=87s feels reminiscent of (at least how Reckwitz explains it), Fukuyama's #1992_TheEndOfHistoryAndTheLastMan theory.
