Addendum: the AR-15-styled assault rifle shown in this illustration was seemingly invented in #1956_ i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmaLite_AR-15 and so, is incongruous with the #NarrativeWarAmericanCivil period depicted in the illustration.
#NewspaperAUBrdshtTheSydneyMorningHeraldSMHCliveHamilton "it's unwise to dismiss the accidental lab leak hypothesis. Here's why. Note first that it's not a conspiracy theory; it's an accident hypothesis. And we should not mix up the claim of an accidental leak of a naturally occurring virus with the claim that the virus was constructed or manipulated in a laboratory to become more potent. Genetic analysis has disproved the latter" (Clive Hamilton, 9 May 2020). https://www.smh.com.au/national/it-would-be-unwise-to-dismiss-donald-trump-s-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-20200507-p54qyg.html
Addendum: this is a response to an article in the conservative international affairs site published by the #AdvocacyUSCenterForTheNationalInterest i.e https://cftni.org/ and https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/china-joining-kamikaze-drone-arms-race-151996 Significantly while the story appears to be about the potential of the Chinese military procuring single-use/disposable military drones - through intentionally evoking the symbolism of Kamikaze (suicide pilots) the author clearly seeks to incite/inflame their readers' ire. #PhenomnKamikaze
Addendum: emotive parallel between the reality of 'human bombs' and the above-mentioned inflammatory characterisation of 'suicide drones', where it is not actually human life that is sacrificed (as denoted by the term 'suicide') but in fact about unmanned, autonomous drones, which are able to be set yo self-destruction - essentially, more akin to heat-seeking missiles. One wonders if the real 'parallel' here is actually a confused association/analogue between Japanese and Chinese people - as per that Western racist idea that all Asian people 'look the same'?

#TauntWoke is used pejoratively in this context to mean 'political correctness gone mad' (or something along these lines).
The tweet reflects an attempt to apportion blame, which it does so along nationalistic lines.
The statement seems to be simply parroting a US conservative narrative, which is a thinly-veiled attempt to deflect attention/culpability for the US's poor emergency response to #PhenomnVirusCOVID19 (and #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump's ultimate failure to recognise the urgency of the crisis). #SlurChinaWuhanVirus #ToponymAsiaChina
The graphic functions as a challenge would-be conservatives, which in doing so symbolically asks readers to accept the poster's idealogical perspective i.e. that the crisis was caused by 'the other' #ToponymAsiaChina and not in fact, one manifest in the failings of #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump's presidency e.g. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1249869983670104065

The emergence of the concept of #TauntCultureCancel used by social conservatives to characterise (negatively frame) the growing, mainstream awareness and acceptance of historical injustices - primarily, that of racial inequality exemplified by the #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM.
The metaphor of a simmering / boiling-over is used to characterise (explain) the emergence of COVID-19 virus as a sociological/political (and not biological) phenomenon. In doing so, the virus' emergence is blamed on actors antagonistic to social conservatives e.g. (radical) #CauseFeminism, #PoliticallyCorrectPC, CancelCulture and the #MetaphorWarfareSocialJusticeWarriorSJW.

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 #PhenomnVirusCOVID19 #SlurChinaWuhanVirus #CauseCivilLiberties
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).

Supplementary: "Such militaristic metaphors were followed on the following day (19 March 2020) by a naming of the Covid-19 as the 'Chinese virus' as Trump made his speech in the Virus Task Force Hold Briefing: 'We continue our relentless effort to defeat the Chinese virus.' Such an association of diseases with a foreign place and other has a long tradition and 'reveals a link between imagining disease and imagining foreignness' (Sontag, 1989, p. 47-55).
What this rhetoric suggests, is an attempt by Donald Trump to shift blame and responsibility for the pandemic by focusing the attention on China. Moreover, Trump has also blamed the WHO for allegedly aligning uncritically with China's narrative regarding the origin of the Covid-19." https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2020.583680/full #MetaphorWarfareRetaliation #OrgIntlUNWHO #TheoryCriticalDiscourseAnalysisCDA
