Supplementary #MagazineUKTheSpectatorPatrickWest "Many on the left decry with airy disdain that complaints of 'cancellation' and 'wokery' are just antediluvian grunts of conservatives who don't like, or don't understand, the modern world - with its new, strange manners concerning matters race and gender. 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. The culture wars are really taking place, whether the left likes or not. And the culture wars are a bread-and-butter issue, whether the right likes or not.

What was missing however, was the realisation that such conceptualisation assumes a common cultural understanding and objectives i.e. the #PoliticsStatusQuo - essentially, the further spread and reach of #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated values / a #TheoryHyperculture perspective - not the flourishing of divergent perspectives and with it, the surge in #ConspiracyTheory_.ies, the emergence of #EpistemologyAmateurParticipatoryDisinformation, #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteAutodidactDilettantism and charges of #MetaphorWarfareCulture and #CatchcryCancelCulture, supposedly mobilised as a singularly, unified attack against #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues - representing a manifestly binary duality of #MetaphorVersusEverydayPeopleLiberals. #TheoryModernityReflexive

#IRLPhilosopherFriedrichNietzsche
Context "This sounds like a loose paraphrase of the sense of Daybreak aph. 329 (see also the first half of aph. 542, and the parallel passage in Genealogy of Morals). The necessity of illusions is also the major theme of 'Truth and Lie'. I agree with the earlier comment that, if it has any relation to a particular passage at all, it is a bad paraphrase! It's hard to explain exactly but if you even just skim the relevant passages in Morgenröthe or 'Truth and Lie' you'll see that when he's discussing the sturdiness of illusions he is often discussing the important functions they serve and when he is discussing the pursuit of truth he is often treating it as the product of illusions! So both halves of this quotation sound like something Nietzsche would say (except not in his style...) but not when combined." https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/56290 #1896_OnTruthAndLiesInAnExtraMoralSense #MetaphorVersusTruthIllusion
#IRLHistoricalFigureFrederickDouglass #1857_
Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesDavidBlight "But in the same way that Abraham Lincoln has become 'everybody's grandfather,' in the words of the historian David Donald, the one American figure who could be adopted by every part of the political spectrum, Douglass is also appropriated broadly, especially by the American right. ... On the surface Douglass does appear to be self-made -- he was the escaped slave who willed his own freedom, stole the master's language and wrote masterpieces of antislavery literature. But without many people, especially women (his grandmother, two wives, a daughter and countless abolitionist women who supported his career) as well as male mentors, both white and black, he would not have survived and become Douglass. In private, he easily admitted his reliance on friends and associates, and he believed in a theory of history rooted in the Old Testament, in the Exodus story, in collective liberation by God and by events. In 'Self-Made Man,' a new book published by the Cato Institute, the lawyer Timothy Sandefur argues that Douglass's essential legacy lies in his advocacy of liberty, individualism and private property and free enterprise. The radical abolitionist who risked all to use words and politics to free an entire people from slavery was, to Mr. Sandefur, only 'a radical for individualism' and never concerned with 'the interests of the collective.' To believe that, one has to ignore most of Douglass's career, especially his life as an abolitionist, his ferocious attacks on the poison of racism and his brilliant analysis of how lynching emerged from the evils of white supremacy. Douglass believed that freedom was safe only within the state and under law. Douglass did preach self-reliance for his fellow blacks: He argued that the freed slaves should be given their rights, protected and then 'let alone.' But he never employed that 'let alone' dictum without also demanding 'fair play,' and security against terror and discrimination. Conservatives have cherry-picked his words to advance their narrow visions of libertarianism." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/opinion/right-coopts-frederick-douglass.html #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln #IRLHistorianDavidDonald [Wikipedia] #TheoryIndividualismCompetitiveSelfMadeManArchetype #PowerControlChattelSlaveryAbolitionism #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfExodus #PoliticsCollectivism #AdvocacyUSCatoInstitute [Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUSGoldwaterInstituteTimothySandefur https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/our-team/timothy-sandefur/ #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #PowerControlViolencePhysicalBrutalityLynching #SlurWhiteSupremacy #CatchcryFreedomLiberty #ReasoningFallacyOfIncompleteEvidenceCherryPicking #PoliticsLibertarianism
Supplementary #IRLHistoricalFigureBarryGoldwater [Wikipedia] #1960_TheConscienceOfAConservative "In 1960, with publication of The Conscience of a Conservative, Barry Goldwater became the leader of a national movement. Written with speechwriter Brent Bozell, the book was a statement of Goldwater's political creed. In chapters that focused on issues such as civil rights, labor relations, and the welfare state, Goldwater called for the 'utmost vigilance and care...to keep political power within its proper bounds.' The national media largely dismissed the book, but Goldwater's vision quickly gained an audience and the book became a best-seller. Today, it is considered a landmark in the development of modern conservatism."

By now, Brent had blossomed into a full-fledged reactionary. He moved to Spain and became an apologist for Franco's fascist regime. Then he moved back and lost a Maryland congressional primary race to the liberal Republican Charles Mathias. After that, he moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains and devoted most of the rest of his life to attacking Vatican II." https://newrepublic.com/article/161431/brent-bozell-trump-capitol-riot #IRLDictatorFranciscoFranco #PoliticsCommunismColdWar #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMaryland #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPCharlesMathias #BeliefTheismChristianityDenomCatholicismSecondVaticanCouncilVaticanII

@KawenaBaney [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : On #thinkspotToday, Greg Cambra asks: Since Karl Marx was a racist, why are his statues still up?

#BrandTechSocialMediaAltThinkspotCommonSenseNowGregCambra "Don't hold your breath for race hustlers and profiteers like Ibram Kendi or Robin DiAngelo to cancel Karl Marx anytime soon. They have no interest in attacking a racist hero of the Left. There's been plenty of time to do so because their followers didn't have any trouble attacking people like Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or Teddy Roosevelt. It's become trendy on the Left to attack heroes of American history while ignoring the faults of people they agree with. The only exception is Woodrow Wilson and he was a terrible president so that made it easier. They should be attacking Marx because he wasn't what they would consider an 'anti-racist.' He made many racist and anti-Semitic statements despite the fact he was Jewish. Since he was Jewish, that's one of the ways to keep him from being one of those 'dead white men' the Left loves to attack. If they don't attack him for being racist because he was Jewish, then they should stop attacking people like Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager." https://www.thinkspot.com/discourse/a6ulmB/post/greg-cambra/karl-marx-was-a-racist-so-why-are-his-statues-still-up/letlPMa #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #PhenomnStatueToppling #EDUUSBostonUniversityIbramXKendi #IRLAuthorRobinDiAngelo #TauntLeftThe #IRLHistoricalFigureWinstonChurchill #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSGeorgeWashington #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSTheodoreRoosevelt #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSWoodrowWilson #OtheringHateAntisemitism #IdentityJewish #BrandTheDailyWirePolemicistBenShapiro #IRLPresenterDennisPrager

"[From Demoplis Herald, 19th.] GLORIOUS NEWS. Lincoln and Seward Assassinated! LEE DEFEATS GRANT. Andy Johnson Inaugurated President. We have been favored with the following private dispatch, which we hasten to lay before our readers, with the hope that it may prove true: DEMOPOLIS, April 18, 1865-TO COL. GARNER:- SIR-The operator at Meridian has just telegraphed me that Memphis papers state, over the signature of Secretary Stanton, that Lincoln and Seward were both assassinated the same night at Washington City. Lincoln was shot through the head in the theatre: Seward slain while sick in bed. Andy Johnson was inaugurated as President of the United States on the 15th. This is said to be true beyond a doubt. I inquired particularly from the operator as to whether there was anything more in regard to Lee's capitulation, and he said nothing at all from Northern papers. A gentleman Just from Selma says it is believed in Selma that Lee and Johnston had effected a junction and whipped Grant soundly. Passengers, wounded soldiers and officers confirm this, This is given on the authority of the operator at Meridian. JOHN W. HENLEY, Operator." #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAndrewJohnson [Wikipedia] #IRLHistoricalFigureRobertELee [Wikipedia]
