@HillaryTacon [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [03]: MSM & the Ruling Class has been trying to whitewash #Wokeness as non-Black.
ie. frequent claim "#Woke refer to injustice"
Woke is incorrect English tense, commonly found in Ebonics. Woke is a BLACK thing.
Lumping in Climate Change, LGBT, etc. is whitewashing. [URL redacted]

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianMarkOConnell "If you're interested in the end of the world, you would have been interested, soon after Donald Trump's election as US president, to read a New York Times headline stating that Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist who co-founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook, considered New Zealand to be 'the Future'. Because if you are in any serious way concerned about the future, you're also concerned about Thiel, a canary in capitalism's coal mine... ...he didn't like how they wrote about him; he is known for his public musings about the incompatibility of freedom and democracy, and for expressing interest - as though enthusiastically pursuing the clunkiest possible metaphor for capitalism at its most vampiric - in a therapy involving transfusions of blood from young people as a potential means of reversing the ageing process. But in another, deeper sense, he is pure symbol: less a person than a shell company for a diversified portfolio of anxieties about the future, a human emblem of the moral vortex at the centre of the market. And the overwhelming suspicion was that he was looking for a rampart to which he could retreat in the event of outright civilisational collapse. Because this is the role that New Zealand now plays in our unfurling cultural fever dream: an island haven amid a rising tide of apocalyptic unease." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/feb/15/why-silicon-valley-billionaires-are-prepping-for-the-apocalypse-in-new-zealand #OtheringOutGroupPrepperSurvivalist #ToponymOceaniaNewZealand #BrandOpenAISamAltman [skeet] #NarrativeUtopiaEschatologyApocalypticism #NarrativeUtopia

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianArwaMahdawi "It's a new conservative dating app that promises to let you 'view profiles without pronouns' and 'connect with people who aren't offended by everything'. Despite this all being very predictable stuff, the app has been getting a lot of attention for three reasons: 1) the ads are unintentionally hilarious, 2) it was co-founded by former Trump administration officials and Ryann McEnany, the sister of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, is the app's spokesperson; 3) creepy Trump-loving billionaire Peter Thiel, who has been called 'the most important person in Silicon Valley', has invested $1.5m into the project."

In both cases, the message is your suffering is manageable. It's no one's fault. Don't blame the boss and you can breathe through it.

Supplementary In this fallacy one argues, 'I feel it, so it must be true. My feelings are valid, so you have no right to criticize what I say or do, or how I say or do it.'

"It has frequently been noticed that the surest long-term result of brainwashing is a peculiar kind of cynicism--an absolute refusal to believe in the truth of anything, no matter how well this truth may be established. In other words, the result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be de-famed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end is--being destroyed" (Hannah Arendt, 1967, p.82).
