Context #PhenomnTrendTidePodChallenge appears to be a coded, pejorative reference to #MetaphorGenerationMillennials ^[Wikipedia] And #WebsiteTheConversationHarryDyer: "Due in no small part to the press coverage, trends like these are quickly blown out of proportion. As with the creepy clown sightings of 2016/17, or the Kylie Jenner lip challenge of 2015, the mainstream media seems to add to the hysteria surrounding these fads, which only serves to extend their relatively short shelf life. Some such coverage mourns the decline of younger generations - as though millennials and Gen Z-ers have a monopoly on stupidity. But as the brilliant Pessimists Archive podcast has shown, hand-wringing over the state of younger generations is nothing new, and there's no evidence to suggest that today's young people are inherently more reckless than previous generations. What is different about today's young people, though, is that they have the technology to record their stupidity for posterity, as well as a desire to push boundaries and attract viewers to the content they post online. This is the 'attention economy' in action, whereby attention is an increasingly scarce resource, which users are desperate to gain as ever greater amounts of content are put online. At their core, these trends are born and driven by what people do when others might be looking. The attention economy can help to explain the powerful effects of being watched on the way humans understand, conform to, and deviate from what's 'normal'. And this, in turn, gives us a way to make sense of the Tide Pod challenge and other internet phenomena..." https://theconversation.com/tide-pod-challenge-blaming-stupid-millennials-is-the-easy-way-out-90606 #MetaphorHandWringing and the #TheoryAttentionEconomy with #IRLAuthorJamesWilliams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxyRf3hfRXg&t=7s ^{[site archive]}

And #TheoryOmniopticon: "There are three main types of social surveillance, based on whether the space that is being watched is somewhere local, global or a cyberspace. The first type of surveillance is considered a Panopticon emerged with modernism, where a small group of people watches over a larger group of people. The second one is the Synopticon where the many watch over the few. Emerged especially with the growth of the mass media, the Synopticon is the product of a more globalized world when compared to the concept of Panopticon. The third type of surveillance is the Omnipticon, where both Panopticon and Synopticon are applied simultaneously. While the globalization has stripped a minority of the privilege of watching and conferred it on the whole of society, surveillance has gradually begun to evolve from a mean of psychological pressure into an alluring psychological desire. As the world becomes more globalized, the grip of social control becomes firmer and stronger than thought even though the physical local pressures on the individual seem to have been diminished. While it might seem liberating at first sight, the globalization also leads to an anti-emancipatory world." Sarıgül, Fatma. (2018). 'The Changing Types of Social Surveillance Through Globalization.' PEOPLE: International Journal of Social Sciences 4: 200-211. ^{[academic source]}

Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJochenBittner "One hundred years ago, amid the implosions of Imperial Germany, powerful conservatives who led the country into war refused to accept that they had lost. Their denial gave birth to arguably the most potent and disastrous political lie of the 20th century -- the Dolchstosslegende, or stab-in-the-back myth. Its core claim was that Imperial Germany never lost World War I. Defeat, its proponents said, was declared but not warranted. It was a conspiracy, a con, a capitulation -- a grave betrayal that forever stained the nation. That the claim was palpably false didn't matter. Among a sizable number of Germans, it stirred resentment, humiliation and anger. And the one figure who knew best how to exploit their frustration was Adolf Hitler." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/30/opinion/trump-conspiracy-germany-1918.html #PleaBetrayalStabbedInTheBackDolchstosslegende #NarrativeWarWWI #ToponymEuropeGermany #BehaviourInjuryFeelingAggrievedResentmentGrudge #PowerControlHumiliation #PoliticsFascismNaziPartyAdolfHitler
