@FernandoPaulk [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: Tucker Carlson is so right. They promote abortions and fewer children for Westerners, and migrants are presented as a solution to the declining population in the West. Also, having many children is OK as long as you’re not from a developed country. #climate #woke #manifestation [URL redacted]

Supplementary #WebsiteUKNovaraMediaJonasMarvin "Trussonomics wasn't some kind of elite vanguardism, but rather a 'hauntology': incapable of escaping history, it was a deferral to models of past Tory glory, in particular Thatcher's 'heroic years'. At their core, hauntologies symbolise the absence of strategy - an absence made clear by the markets when they exercised one of the biggest displays of raw class power in recent history. Neoliberal gatekeepers, such as Andrew Bailey and the Bank of England, showed in practice the difference between pure neoliberalism as an unmoored ideology and the financial power of a neoliberal system whose interest in the stability and maintenance of its legal, economic and political dominance trumps all." https://novaramedia.com/2022/10/26/the-tory-crisis-didnt-start-with-liz-truss-and-it-wont-end-with-her/ #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyLizTruss #PoliticsCapitalismNeoliberalism #BrandUKBankOfEnglandAndrewBailey #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyMargaretThatcher #TheoryHauntology (Derrida, Jacques, 1993, p.10). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJbuzQvQSwk&t=287s #IRLPhilosopherJacquesDerrida and his #1993_SpectresDeMarx: [pdf] #TheoryPoliticsOfInevitability ?

Supplementary "Oikeiôsis, which can be translated as 'appropriation', is the idea that, in common with other animals, as we grow in awareness, we extend our concept of 'self' to include first our care-givers, and then other beings similar to us. We appropriate them into our sense of self and begin to have concern for them. The Stoics' ethical application of this insight is that we should increase the extent of our Oikeiôsis. The aim is to reduce, as far as is practicable, the gap between the concern that we show for 'self' and the concern that we show for the various categories of 'other'. Oikeiôsis was represented by Hierocles as a series of concentric circles, often now referred to as the Circles of Concern, with the Mind/Self at the centre, and the series of outer circles containing categories of people at increasing distance from the self. Hierocles' idea is that we should strive to draw each circle closer to the centre, treating members of a given circle like members of the immediate inward circle. For example, one should treat parents like one's own body, and treat uncles and aunts like parents, and so on. By drawing the circles towards the centre, we aim to increase the concern that we show for all of humankind. The idea is not, however, to treat everybody the same. People are still in the relative circles. This is a key distinction drawn by Hierocles. We should, though, treat the members of each circle better than would otherwise be the case. We ought to treat others as we would wish to be treated in their position, in accordance with the four Stoic virtues (Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, Justice). In this way, we can deal justly with anybody because he/she is in at least the outer circle, a member of the human race." https://modernstoicism.com/oikeiosis-reimagined-the-circle-of-compassion-by-ray-pilling/ #IRLPhilosopherHierocles #TheoryPhilosophyStoicismOikeiosisCirclesOfConcern #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft ? #BehaviourEmpathy

Addendum this appears to be an edited/repurposed version of #CaricaturistKevinCarden's 'Father reads to children while holding shield' illustration https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-reads-to-children-while-holding-shield/412695814 Metaphorically, Carden's original talks about the idea of fathers (parents) shielding (protecting) their children from harm. Significantly, the shield protects from a generalised/non-specific threat not the overt #OtheringHateHomophobia.ic re-inscription shown here. The theme of 'protection/liberation' is clearly something Carden finds interesting - as is evident in other examples of his work https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-holds-up-shield/253391891 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-protecting-his-child/278610451 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/mother-and-son-under-umbrella/490793637 His illustrations tend to offer up exaggerated scenarios rendered in a 'fantasy art' style, which seem to be influenced by traditions of Christian imagery/metaphorization. Perhaps, the combination of visual style, sentiment and ideology made the image more accessible/amenable to those who produced the reedited version - I'm thinking specifically of its somewhat #CharacterisationSentimentality? #PhenomnRoleFamilyFather

@LeviHarrigill [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [10]: The #Torygraph? Always behind @spikedonline in the counterattack on #woke, still fighting the #SovietUnion. But beats the clickbait @TheTimes, LibDem @Guardian and smug @FT. Moore's satire marred by his support for #RoryStewart - Britain's wokest also-ran! @NationalTrust [URL redacted]
#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphCharlesMoore "A prominent outsider candidate has come forward at the last minute. Rory Stewart, the writer, traveller, and former government minister, is a dark horse and a lone wolf - if one can be two animals at once - so I cannot place him in any faction. But his commitment to our country's built heritage and land stewardship (the Trust owns 600,000 acres) is real. I have direct experience of his conservation skills because I visited him in Afghanistan. There, against every possible disadvantage of war, filth and poverty, he had cleared the rubbish which had buried the old city of Kabul, restoring eight acres of old buildings, streets and courtyards and filling them, via his Turquoise Mountain charity, with revived Afghan crafts and workshops. It was about the only Western initiative in that country which succeeded. Rory seemed to love conservation and to know how it can enhance modern life. I fear it is the lack of love for the NT's historic collections, buildings and gardens which is most disheartening about the current leadership. The members feel that love, though, and will respond warmly to leaders who share it. Restoration and reconciliation can be accomplished, but only with urgent change." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/10/15/wanted-national-trust-leader-can-trusted-love-heritage/
