GIF of #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyBorisJohnson making the #SymbolGestureThumbsUp
Context the GIF is an extract from the #OrgClassifPPUKConservativeParty #2019_UnitedKingdomGeneralElection #LiteralMessagingCampaignPolitical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj-YK3JJCIU&t=119s #SloganGetBrexitDone, which presumably seeks to leverage popular awareness of #PhenomnMeme.s that recycle the #2003_LoveActually #MemeCardsOnTheDoorstep scene (perhaps, to evoke #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionEverydayPeopleEveryman / sense of familiarity).
Supplementary "Boris Johnson's infamous 'Get Brexit Done' slogan was dreamed up after a disgruntled Yorkshire woman first uttered the phrase in a focus group, it has been revealed. The three-word catchphrase - credited with helping the Tories win the 2019 general election - was formulated soon after the woman said it during the session in Bradford, according to the party's election mastermind Sir Lynton Crosby." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/get-brexit-done-origin-yorkshire-woman-b1914214.html #PhenomnBrexit #IRLPoliticalStrategistLyntonCrosby [Wikipedia] And https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/01/revealed-johnson-allys-firm-secretly-ran-facebook-propaganda-network
Addendum The new Conservative digital campaigners, both New Zealanders in their 20s, also flew around the world to promote the interests of clients such as Glencore, one of the world's biggest miners, while concerns - which they strongly denied - were raised about some of their behaviour in the office. The pair's arrival comes after their success helping Australia's rightwing coalition unexpectedly win the country's general election, where they were praised by local media for their understanding of how to fight online campaigns. Purposefully low-quality memes based around popular shows such as Game of Thrones were used in a bid to drive interactions - good or bad - at any cost, on the basis that this would boost the reach of future Facebook posts. 'We'd make them really basic and deliberately lame because they'd get shares and lift our reach; that made our reach for the harder political messages higher,' an anonymous individual told the Sydney Morning Herald, dubbing the strategy 'boomer memes' as the content appealed to older audiences. In recent days, the Conservatives have begun purposefully posting badly-designed social media material, at one point urging MPs to back a Brexit deal using the often-derided Comic Sans font. The Tories' political opponents lined up to mock the image, inadvertently sending it viral and ensuring it was seen by a wider audience."https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/01/revealed-johnson-allys-firm-secretly-ran-facebook-propaganda-network #BrandTophamGuerinTGSeanTopham and #BrandTophamGuerinTGBenGuerin #EpistemologyAmateurShittyMemes

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianJasonWilson "Curtis Yarvin is hardly a household name in US politics. But the 'neoreactionary' thinker and far-right blogger is emerging as a serious intellectual influence on key figures in Donald Trump's coming administration in particular over potential threats to US democracy. Yarvin, who considers liberal democracy as a decadent enemy to be dismantled, is intellectually influential on vice president-elect JD Vance and close to several proposed Trump appointees. The aftermath of Trump's election victory has seen actions and rhetoric from Trump and his lieutenants that closely resemble Yarvin's public proposals for taking autocratic power in America." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/21/curtis-yarvin-trump #2024_

#MagazineUSTheAtlanticAliBreland "The current moment looks a lot like fusionism 2.0: The uniting through line of opposing communism has been replaced by an opposition to 'wokeness,' as the University of Virginia historian David Austin Walsh has observed. The similarities between the political moments provide a rough model for how the new MAGA coalition might persist. In the original fusionism, communism was almost always a bigger deal than whatever libertarians and social conservatives didn't see eye to eye on. This worked because 'communism' never just meant one thing. It could be invoked to oppose the Soviet Union and the literal ideology of communism, to thwart the supposedly communist-infilitrated civil-rights and anti-war movements, or to refer to anything related to left-wing politics. Wokeness now serves that function on the right. It's no coincidence that wokeness is a rebranded version of the right's previous bogeyman: 'cultural Marxism.' As Musk has ripped up federal agencies in a supposed effort to reduce government waste, a lot of what DOGE has actually focused on is rooting out perceived wokeness."

#WebsiteSubstackNotesFromPlagueIsland "A decade ago, the Dark Enlightenment was an obscure online subculture; a handful of techno-futurists dreaming of monarchies run by CEOs and algorithms. Today, its ideas are shaping governments, influencing billionaires, and sanctifying the marriage of technology and theology." https://www.plagueisland.com/p/the-dark-enlightenment-the-gospel
