@DorothyKohout [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: @prageru @JeremyDBoreing @JJudahIsaac @amalaekpunobi @VivekGRamaswamy @AmandaEnsing This Prager video gets the definition of #woke wrong in a rather significant way. The injustices aren't invisible unless you make a robust and very deliberate effort to not see them. [URL redacted]

A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media. Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain. (No evidence has refuted Ensing's half-Puerto Rican heritage, although critics have alleged a misleading opportunistic and "rebrand")." https://www.prnewsonline.com/sephora-influencer-PR-Ensing #BrandSephora #2020_CapitolSiege #MemeAmusedEatingPopcorn #IRLPersonalityInfluencerGabrielZamora #OtheringCaricatureImperialismBlackfaceBlackfishing #ToponymAmericaSouthPuertoRico
Supplementary #AdvocacyIntlTransEuropeAndCentralAsiaTGEU "This publication provides messaging to respond to some common narratives fuelling anti-trans movements. It is especially useful to combat anti-trans narratives used to justify the rollback the rights of trans people. These arguments focus primarily on the fundamental opposition between trans rights and the rights of women and children. They are misleading and deliberately based on falsehoods or half-truths." https://tgeu.org/trans-rights-are-human-rights/ #2021_TransRightsAreHumanRightsDismantlingMisconceptionsAboutGenderGenderIdentity [pdf] #IdentityLGBTQIATrans
Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification [Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue [Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange [Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

"Powerful people are pulling the levers of our democracy. They actively pursue a 'Cancel Culture 'a 'Censorship' on what they think you should hear, see and believe. They allow for no dissent to their "woke" orthodoxy and would throw you in the gutter because you had a different opinion. They are 'funded' by organisations we buy goods from, we buy lottery tickets from and even to whom we donate Little did we know they themselves are funding the charities who legally challenge Gov. legislation. You the donator, believer and purchaser are far from their minds they're too busy occupying courts and studios telling You you're wrong thinking all the while criminal enterprises continue profiting from people trafficking and modern day slavery." #PhenomnAgencyHumanPowerlessness #CatchcryCancelCulture #PhenomnCensorship #PowerControlChattelSlavery

#MetaphorVersusHardSoft i.e. "la droite" [the right] are cast as strong where as #TauntWoke are cast as childish / ineffectual / #PhenomnAgencyHumanPowerlessness - and because of the oppositional framing of the metaphor - they are also presumably, also not #CharacterisationRightWing i.e. they are presumably its opposite - #TauntLeftThe - that is, #MetaphorVersusRightWingLeftWing
Supplementary Analysing this meme using Conceptual Metaphor Theory http://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?keyword=53608 would position the absurdity (and incongruous nature) of a child's toy car being on the motorway as a 'source domain' and an assumed relationship between supposed "la droite" + "le wokisme" groups as the target domain. In mapping the latter (target) onto the former (source) the resulting concept is that 'woke' are an absurd incongruity. I can only assume that such characterisations provide comfort for those characterised in terms of #TheorySociologySocialInertia The meme revisions the infamous real-life, car-chase of #IRLSportspersonOJSimpson on 17 June 1994: https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-simpson-chase-bronco-helicopter-20190617-story.html #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT
