Addendum #WebsitePinkNewsCharlieDuncan "Comedian Hannah Gadsby has been attacked by a host of trolls for a 2018 tweet, in which they referred to the late Barry Humphries as an 'inhumane d**k biscuit'. Humphries, who died on Saturday (April 22) at the age of 89, left a mixed legacy. On one hand, the Australian entertainer found stardom with his violet-haired drag persona, Dame Edna Everage. On the other, a repeated history of transphobia left many fans disappointed in a man they believed to be a lover of liberty. ... In a 2018 tweet, Hannah Gadsby said that Barry Humphries was losing his touch as a comedian, and was someone who 'hates vulnerable minorities, and [had] completely lost the ability to read the room.' The tweet continued: 'That's not a comedian, that's an irrelevant, inhumane d**k biscuit of the highest order.' The tweet hung in the ether before Australian entertainment journalist Peter Ford posted a screenshot of it following the news of Humphries' death. ... Ford's tweet has prompted a backlash against Gadsby." https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/04/25/hannah-gadsby-barry-humphries-tweet-backlash/ #PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingCyberTrolling #2018_ #IRLEntertainmentReporterPeterFord ^[Wikipedia]

The image, shared widely on Facebook, was accompanied by transphobic and dehumanizing comments. The blurry photographs appear to show a person wearing a baby blue colored dress with a short, flouncy skirt. In one photo the person carries a pink duffle bag and in the other, what appears to be a lanyard can be seen slung over their shoulder. We pixilated this person's face since we don't know their identity and therefore couldn't reach out for comment. As noted above, we found no evidence to support the claim that these pictures depict Levine. The fact that they were originally posted for trolling purposes on Gab, and that the image quality is so bad that no clear features can be discerned, along with the hateful context in which it was posted, suggests the meme was a viral hoax intended to stir transphobic hate." ^{[fact-checked]} #PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingCyberTrolling

Context #NMUSCNNJillDougherty " Kallas was not joking. 'NAFO' stands for the North Atlantic Fellas Organization and is a decentralized online volunteer organization that is waging its own social media war against Russia and its invasion of Ukraine. Over the weekend, the group held its own summit in Lithuania's capital, which was opened by the country's foreign minister. NAFO's volunteer 'troops' use tongue-in-cheek memes to mock, troll and discredit Russia's war. Their battlegrounds are primarily Twitter and Telegram, where they have garnered a sizable fan-base among Ukraine supporters and captured the attention of global leaders. These volunteers, also known as 'fellas,' can be identified by their online avatars or profile pictures, typically a cartoon Shiba Inu (a Japanese hunting dog that became a popular internet meme in 2013) dressed in Ukrainian military gear. Members often personalize the memes with different uniforms, glasses, and weapons. Some fellas are Ukrainian soldiers, who are fighting on the front lines and provide pictures from the battlefield, mocking the incompetence of the Russian military or praising Ukrainian bravery. NAFO was founded in May 2022 by Kamil Dyszewski as part of a fundraising initiative - making dog avatars for people who had donated to the Georgian Legion, a volunteer military unit in Ukraine. The group relies heavily on memes. After identifying Russian propaganda or pro-Russian sympathizers, fellas pile on their posts with memes, humor, wry logic, and dismissive comments. They even invoke their version of 'Article 5' - a reference to NATO's mutual self-defense clause - signaling to other fellas to come to their aid. If all of this sounds somewhat ridiculous - it is. But disinformation and propaganda experts say humor is a serious weapon in the information war again disinformation." https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/11/europe/ukraine-nafo-russian-trolls-intl #OrgClassifPPEEEestiReformierakondKajaKallas ^[Wikipedia] #CampaignNorthAtlanticFellasOrganizationNAFOArticle5 #OrgIntlNATOOTANArticle5 ^[Wikipedia] #ToponymEuropeRepublicOfLithuaniaVilnius #CampaignNorthAtlanticFellasOrganizationNAFOKamilDyszewski

Supplementary "Ever since Disney released the first look for its 2023 live-action remake of 'The Little Mermaid,' the internet has been sodden with wave after wave of racist critics complaining that Ariel, the completely fictional underwater fish woman, shouldn't be Black. Hashtags like 'notmyariel' are bouncing around social media, and YouTube hid the dislike counter on the official video after it was bombarded with racist comments and more than 1.5 million 'dislikes.' One group of critics went as far as to share a digitally altered version of the teaser that featured a White woman in place of the movie's star Halle Bailey, who they called a 'woke actress.' By now, we know it's not unusual to see racist responses whenever a person of color is cast in a role considered 'traditionally' White. While there are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike a movie, these critics often hide their discomfort behind other thin arguments, claiming historical or cultural accuracy or, of all things, science. Here are some real arguments people have levied to protest the casting choice. The facts prove they just don't hold water.

The lead organisers of that event posted a notice on their website distancing themselves from any connection with Tommy Robinson or his views. Two weeks earlier, there were the nationwide 'March for Australia' rallies, which were attended by members of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network and allowed neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell to address crowds in Melbourne. The March for Australia rallies also received notable support from far-right figures, including Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk. ... Callum Jones, a political extremism researcher from Monash University, told SBS News grievances such as economic and social uncertainty play a role in political mobilisation for the far right and these groups capitalise on issues such as housing and the high cost of living to gain momentum. 'In the same way, we saw large-scale political mobilisation around the COVID-19 period where you had a lot of people turn out [to protests] because of perceived infringements on civil liberties and they were turning to protest things like mask mandates and vaccine mandates,' he said. Jones said far-right politics focus on grievances and perceptions around 'entitlements or privileges or access to resources that are being taken away' and 'certain groups are scapegoated as being the people who have taken away those previously accessible resources or privileges'." https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/far-right-movements-australia-uk/qg4lpzb6n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byb0Xl0SpIA #CatchcryAussieAussieAussieOiOiOi ^[Wikipedia] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DikLFodkmY8 #EDUAUMonashUniversityCallumJones #EDUAUDeakinUniversityGregBarton #2025_MarchForAustralia #OrgSyndicateHateGroupAUNationalSocialistNetworkNSNThomasSewell ^{[Wikipedia] [Wikipedia]} #ToponymOceaniaAustraliaVICMelbourne #TheoryGrievancePolitics #PhenomnUncertainty #PhenomnVirusCOVID19Pandemic #CauseCivilLiberties #PhenomnMaskWearing #LiteralVaccineMandate #PhenomnMisdirectionScapegoating https://www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast/party-time

Musk was replying to a post by Robinson in which he urged former Reform MP Rupert Lowe to join Advance after an earlier split with Farage.

Supplementary #MagazineNewStatesmanJuliaRampen ^[Muckrack] "By the time Robinson was released from prison in November 2014, a refugee crisis was engulfing Europe. Instead of returning to the streets of Britain, he travelled to Germany and sought to expand the country's anti-Islam movement, Pegida (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West). Next came Brexit, Donald Trump and a new term for a slippery, extremist ideology now dominating corners of the internet: the alt-right. Robinson spied an opportunity. He became a columnist for Canadian far-right website Rebel Media and cultivated a YouTube channel. Until being banned by Twitter earlier this year, he had 413,000 followers. ... But this was not the story the world heard. 'Reason *1776 for the original *Brexit. Don't let America follow in those footsteps,' tweeted Donald Trump Jr, the US president's eldest son, about the case. Conservative US radio host Rush Limbaugh acknowledged that Robinson had 'technically violated a judge's order', but told listeners that 'the real thing to take away from this story is that they categorise this guy as 'far right', which then permits them to spirit him away'. Australian supporters held rallies. In the UK, petitions to 'free Tommy Robinson' have attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. 'I'm sick of being the silenced majority in my own country and I need people like Tommy to fight my corner,' one supporter wrote. On 9 June 2018, as many as 15,000 protesters gathered in central London under the *FreeTommy banner. To his supporters, Robinson is the victim of an oppressive state. Those watching the latest march felt differently; one described the mood to me as 'creepy and uncomfortable'. There is no doubt that, for many, it is Robinson the street fighter who most appeals. 'It is a class culture war,' Jonathan Rutherford, an academic and one of the leading Blue Labour thinkers, told me. Robinson the man, it seems, is less important than what he represents. 'Robinson is a tribune of that working-class white identity - although he'd probably not like the white identity bit,' said Rutherford.

This is a drastic lurch to the right, even for Reform. Only last year the party was saying it seeks to represent the 'silent majority' and keep out 'extremists'.

Trogneux, 80, lives in the northern French town of Amiens, where he grew up with Brigitte and their siblings in a family famous for its chocolate business." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/05/paris-court-finds-10-guilty-of-harassing-brigitte-macron-online #2026_ #PhenomnHarassmentDiscriminatory #PowerControlViolationPaedophilia #OtheringDiscriminationAgeism #PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingCyberTrolling #IRLCommentatorCandaceOwens

Supplementary Browning's 'HogKitty' character represents a hyperreality as per #IRLSociologistJeanBaudrillard's #TheoryPhilosophySimulacrum i.e. "Simulation [of an othered, trans caricature] is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or a substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map [i.e. an othered, trans caricature] that precedes the territory [of an authentic trans person] - precession of simulacra - it is the map [i.e. caricature] that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map." https://web.stanford.edu/class/history34q/readings/Baudrillard/Baudrillard_Simulacra.html

Yet, notwithstanding the gadgets -- the rockets and the robots and the Department of Government Efficiency Musketeers, carrying backpacks crammed with laptops, dreaming of replacing federal employees with large language models -- few figures in public life are more shackled to the past. On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, Mr. Musk told a roaring, jubilant crowd that the election marked 'a fork in the road of human civilization.' He promised to 'take DOGE to Mars' and pledged to give Americans reasons to look 'forward to the future.' In 1932, when civilization stood at another fork in the road, the United States chose liberal democracy, and Franklin Roosevelt, who promised 'a new deal for the American people.' In his first 100 days, Mr. Roosevelt. signed 99 executive orders, and Congress passed more than 75 laws, beginning the work of rebuilding the country by establishing a series of government agencies to regulate the economy, provide jobs, aid the poor and construct public works. Mr. Musk is attempting to go back to that fork and choose a different path. Much of what he has sought to dismantle, from antipoverty programs to national parks, have their origins in the New Deal. Mr. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration provided 8.5 million Americans with jobs; Mr. Musk has measured his achievement by the number of jobs he has eliminated." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/opinion/elon-musk-doge-technocracy.html #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #CharacterisationVisionaryFuturist #MetaphorWarfareHeroMusketeer #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSFranklinDRooseveltFDR #IRLHistoricalFigureJoshuaHaldeman #PoliticsGovernanceTechnocracy #MetaphorDiseaseMindVirus #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #TauntPresumptionHubris #IRLEntrepreneurMarcAndreessen #TheoryFuturismFilippoTommasoMarinetti #PoliticsAuthoritarianismAutocracy https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/04/opinion/elon-musk-capitalism.html #NarrativeUtopiaPlacelessness #IRLAuthorDouglasAdams #IRLAuthorHGWells #IRLAuthorIainBanks #WorksSeriesTheCulture #ToponymAfricaSouthernSouthAfrica #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #PowerControlSegregationApartheid #IRLAuthorNovelistUrsulaLeGuin #IRLAuthorVirginiaWoolf

#EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaRitaAbrahamsen, #EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaMichaelWilliams "Ahmari's essay on dystopia begins by observing that 'Those of us who inhabit the Very Online Right like to point out how this or that new social phenomenon resembles this or that dystopian fiction. ... these resemblances to fictional dystopias should arrest us' (Ahmari 2021). Then he asks, 'What if dystopia is already here? What if our territory already conforms to maps drawn long ago by science-fiction authors? Could it be that we have crossed the invisible frontier that divides an ordinary place, an ordinary topos, from a dystopian realm?' Indeed, Ahmari is effusive in lauding the ability of dystopian fiction to place issues of the day (such as 'cancel culture, woke-ism and gender ideology') within wider frameworks that 'uncover the deeper currents shaping our age.' He sees these contemporary phenomena as 'merely the acceleration of older and deeper processes of ideological transformation' that dystopian fiction can help expose." Abrahamsen, R. and M. C.

"Owens, Crowder and Shapiro have all been of great import to the Trump movement. Other figures include - but not limited to - Charlie Kirk, Jesse Kelly, Dan Bongino, Jack Posobiec, Dave Rubin, and even Trump himself. Other figures, such as Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard, though not of the Right ideologically, can be counted as fellow travelers. Just as how AM radio have been the medium of choice for tech-savvy conservatives during the years of Reagan and Bush, the Internet have been the broadcasting tool for the online Trump supporters. Conservatives' favorite punching bag have been the well-to-do elites from the coasts, who are seen as unattached to a locality. However, by using the Internet, the Very Online Right can broadcast their views from anywhere in the world." https://musicallyspeaking.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-the-very-online-right #IRLCommentatorCandaceOwens #VlogLouderWithCrowderLWCStevenCrowder #TalkbackRadioTheClayTravisAndBuckSextonShow #TalkbackRadioTheJesseKellyShow ^[Wikipedia] #NMUSFOXFNCDanBongino #NMUSOneAmericaNewsNetworkOANNJackPosobiec #VlogJoeRoganExperienceJRE #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyTulsiGabbard

#IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Viewed against that history, Musk's line about 'abolishing' the EU ^{[tweet] [jpeg]} is more than a libertarian thought experiment. It condenses the political slogans of Trumpism and Brexit into one sentence: the nation-state as the only legitimate unit of sovereignty; supranational institutions as inherently undemocratic; the EU as something done to people, not by them. Medvedev's one-word response - 'Exactly' - makes plain how neatly this dovetails with Moscow's long-term ambitions. As former president and now deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, he has become one of the regime's most aggressive public voices, regularly threatening Europe with escalation and calling for a remade world order. When he endorses the abolition of the EU, he is not being rhetorical; he is restating a core Kremlin objective that has underpinned years of covert finance, disinformation and interference. The screenshot collapses those agendas into a single image: a leading Russian official cheerleading the destruction of the EU, and a tech mogul with his hand on the levers of global speech amplifying the same idea." https://pdjukes.substack.com/p/musk-medvedev-and-the-long-war-on #OrgEU #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaDmitryMedvedev ^[tweet] #PhenomnBrexit

But she's also been the target of transphobic bullying online from both anonymous trolls and political figures. The image, shared widely on Facebook, was accompanied by transphobic and dehumanizing comments. The blurry photographs appear to show a person wearing a baby blue colored dress with a short, flouncy skirt. In one photo the person carries a pink duffle bag and in the other, what appears to be a lanyard can be seen slung over their shoulder. We pixilated this person's face since we don't know their identity and therefore couldn't reach out for comment. As noted above, we found no evidence to support the claim that these pictures depict Levine. The fact that they were originally posted for trolling purposes on Gab, and that the image quality is so bad that no clear features can be discerned, along with the hateful context in which it was posted, suggests the meme was a viral hoax intended to stir transphobic hate." ^{[fact-checked]} #PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingCyberTrolling

The commotion began last week, when the show's trailer first appeared on YouTube. It opens with a conversation between the two lead characters, a starship captain and her first officer, played by Michelle Yeoh and Sonequa Martin-Green, both women of color. ... Many commenters, though, were clearly appalled by the absence of white men in command positions. 'Where is the alpha male that has balls and doesn't take crap from anyone?' one asked. 'Is everything going to have to have females in every fucking thing?' another asked. A third person called Yeoh 'a reject from a overseas customer-support line.'
