#OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyEstherMcVey "Thank god for John Cleese for taking on the woke warriors saying their agenda is'disastrous for comedy & killing creativity.' To be honest I watch this woke world & laugh out loud as it reminds me of his old Monty Python sketches. John's not only a comedian but a clairvoyant too!" #OrgUKMontyPythonJohnCleese #OrgUKMontyPython

"Problem is Kung-flu is a masterful piece of lampooning, that lost art which saw Victorians cartooning farting Kings and politicians in Punch magazine. The PC world, the hijackers of words like ISLAMOPHOBE (of sound provenance dating back to Greek in use 1300 years before Mohammed in a New Testament reference to FEAR of the Jews, of all things), the Woke, the BAME (who know not Wilberforce) the genderfluids, the misandrists, the feminista- shortlista's have destroyed the kind of satirical comedy of TWTWTW, Monty Python, Spitting Image (even Dad's Army, 'Allo,'Allo and Hi-de- hi)." #PoliticallyCorrectPC #IdentityBlackAsianAndMinorityEthnicBAME [Government] #IRLHistoricalFigureWilliamWilberforce ? #OtheringHateMisandry #CauseFeminism "feminista-shortlista" ? #TVThatWasTheWeekThatWasTWTWTW ?

Context "President Trump's first use of the phrase 'kung flu' -- during a campaign rally in Tulsa last weekend -- drew broad political backlash as a racist slur against Asian Americans. Within three days, however, it was also something else: a rallying cry for his supporters." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/with-kung-flu-trump-sparks-backlash-over-racist-language--and-a-rallying-cry-for-supporters/2020/06/24/485d151e-b620-11ea-aca5-ebb63d27e1ff_story.html #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #SlurKungFlu #AdvocacyTurningPointTPUSAAction #ToponymAmericaNorthUSOklahomaTulsa #IdentityAmericanAsian "Donald Trump used racist language to describe the coronavirus pandemic at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by terming the virus as the 'kung flu'. ... Trump has repeatedly tried to term Covid-19 as the 'Chinese virus' or the 'Wuhan virus' which has prompted outrage from many civil liberties groups, who have warned that such language can inspire racism and violence against Asian Americans. But in Tulsa Trump appeared to go even further in his use of racist language. 'It has more names than any disease in history. I can name kung flu. I can name 19 different versions of names,' he said to cheers from the crowd. Trump has previously defended his language around linking the virus to China. Speaking at a daily coronavirus task force briefing in March, he said it was 'not racist at all. It comes from China. I want to be accurate.'" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/20/trump-covid-19-kung-flu-racist-language #ConditionVirusCOVID19 #SlurChinaWuhanVirus #CauseCivilLiberties
Supplementary "Using the concept of displaced abjection, this chapter discusses how the Trump carnival, populist as it is, is not focused on ridiculing or challenging elites, but instead punching down, by targeting marginalized groups. Through displaced abjection, we see how the Trump carnival is centered on licensing and encouraging transgressions against specific democratic norms that affirm human dignity and equality. Trump, by humiliating and insulting age-old enemies, translates what is broadly considered unacceptable and undemocratic behavior into a transgressive, carnivalesque politics of violating fundamental democratic norms of equality, dignity, and pluralism" (Gaufman, E. & Ganesh, B., 2024, p.51,52).

Addendum this justification has multiple problems. It seeks to conflate genuine satire (related to the criticism of imbalances of power) with Trump's ham-fisted racial slur. And then, it attempts to justify the bullying by using #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTradition (as if the process of repeating a slur transforms it into critique). It then uses a #ReasoningFallacyWhataboutism to justify #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim through conflating it with #OtheringHateAntisemitism (as if the forms of discrimination are somehow opposed to each other - rather than simply being two different forms - and so, are able to cancel each other out). It then attempts to pass off a generalised attack on various issues, which have received significant profile contemporarily i.e. #_CondemnationGender followed up with a plug for some dated #LiteralClassicBritishTV (whose humour is the product of the time when they were produced).
