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

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).

Addendum One wonders what sort of ethical clearance was obtained for this as the contributions, which appear to have been obtained in good faith from interview subjects (assuming their 'informed consent'). As notably, there is a significant discrepancy between the implied framing i.e. #TheoryFrameAnalysis (as assumed) by interview subjects and that intended by the interviewer - where the answers, have been recontextualised in a way, which manipulatively exploits the good will and sincerity of the subjects.

Supplementary "However, appealing to the memory of the Holocaust obscures our understanding of the antisemitism Jews face today, and dangerously misrepresents the causes of violence in Israel-Palestine. The Nazi genocide involved a state--and its willing civil society--attacking a tiny minority, which then escalated to a continent-wide genocide. Indeed, comparisons of the crisis unfolding in Israel-Palestine to Nazism and the Holocaust--above all when they come from political leaders and others who can sway public opinion--are intellectual and moral failings. At a moment when emotions are running high, political leaders have a responsibility to act calmly and avoid stoking the flames of distress and division. And, as academics, we have a duty to uphold the intellectual integrity of our profession and support others around the world in making sense of this moment. Israeli leaders and others are using the Holocaust framing to portray Israel's collective punishment of Gaza as a battle for civilization in the face of barbarism, thereby promoting racist narratives about Palestinians. This rhetoric encourages us to separate this current crisis from the context out of which it has arisen. Seventy-five years of displacement, fifty-six years of occupation, and sixteen years of the Gaza blockade have generated an ever-deteriorating spiral of violence that can only be arrested by a political solution. There is no military solution in Israel-Palestine, and deploying a Holocaust narrative in which an 'evil' must be vanquished by force will only perpetuate an oppressive state of affairs that has already lasted far too long. Insisting that 'Hamas are the new Nazis'--while holding Palestinians collectively responsible for Hamas's actions--attributes hardened, antisemitic motivations to those who defend Palestinian rights. It also positions the protection of Jewish people against the upholding of international human rights and laws, implying that the current assault on Gaza is a necessity. And invoking the Holocaust to dismiss demonstrators calling for a 'free Palestine' fuels the repression of Palestinian human rights advocacy and the conflation of antisemitism with criticism of Israel." https://www.nybooks.com/online/2023/11/20/an-open-letter-on-the-misuse-of-holocaust-memory/ #TheoryFrameAnalysis #ToponymEastMiddlePalestineOPT #PoliticsFascismNaziThirdReich #PhenomnGenocide #2023_HamasAttacksAndIsraeliWarOnGaza #OrgPSHamas #PolicyRightsHuman
#2025_ #EDUUBrownUniversityOmerBartov [Wikipedia] #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimes "Mr. Netanyahu had urged his citizens to remember 'what Amalek did to you,' a quote many interpreted as a reference to the demand in a biblical passage calling for the Israelites to 'kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings' of their ancient enemy. Government and military officials said they were fighting 'human animals' and, later, called for 'total annihilation.' Nissim Vaturi, the deputy speaker of Parliament, said on X that Israel's task must be 'erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.' Israel's actions could be understood only as the implementation of the expressed intent to make the Gaza Strip uninhabitable for its Palestinian population. I believe the goal was -- and remains today -- to force the population to leave the Strip altogether or, considering that it has nowhere to go, to debilitate the enclave through bombings and severe deprivation of food, clean water, sanitation and medical aid to such an extent that it is impossible for Palestinians in Gaza to maintain or reconstitute their existence as a group." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/opinion/israel-gaza-holocaust-genocide-palestinians.html #OrgClassifPPILLikudBenjaminNetanyahu #2023_ #OrgILAFMIsraelDefenseForcesIDF #ToponymEastMiddlePalestineOPTGazaStripRafah [Wikipedia] #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianOwenJones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDePmAFle4A&t=172s #OrgILAFMIsraelDefenseForcesIDFGioraEiland [Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUKBritainIsraelCommunicationsAndResearchCentreBICOM [Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUKBritainIsraelCommunicationsAndResearchCentreBICOMFathomJournal [Wikipedia] #OrgILAFMIsraelDefenseForcesIDFYoavGallant [Wikipedia] #OrgILAFMIsraelDefenseForcesIDFGhassanAlian [Wikipedia]

Context "The Special Interest Communities (SIC) program offers two distinctive residential experiences to those interested in living among students with common identities or interests. Our Special Interest Communities create opportunities to impact the larger Columbia community through the implementation of educational programs, events and workshops in addition to fostering a connection to faculty, staff and alumni. Our Themed Communities provide students with an opportunity to cultivate community-building around a shared personal or academic interest. Both Special Interest Communities and Themed Communities offer students a unique experience as all members are encouraged to discover themselves while developing a shared community that comes together around similarities and differences alike. Special Interest Communities and Themed Communities are available to all students interested." https://www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/reslife/sic #EDUUSColumbiaUniversitySpecialInterestCommunitiesSIC
Addendum presumably this is an effort to discredit #MetaphorWarfareCultureLiberalEducation. Horowitz fallaciously manipulates the meaning, which is intended by his interview subjects to support his #PhenomnPolemic. He does this through a number of means, including: 1). he fails to properly contextualise his interview questions for his subjects (causing them to make assumptions about its intended meaning); 2). he creates an artificial distinction between groups of interview subjects according to particular characterisations (that of the 'naive and overly #PoliticallyCorrectPC student' versus the 'every-person'). Symbolically, this locates the perspective of the 'every-person' as #PleaAuthenticity.ic and the PC student as #TauntHypocrisyLiberal; 3). different lines of questioning are reserved for black and white interview subjects (symbolically identifying their positions as distinct and different - and that they are therefore adversarial); 4). a question is asked about the equitability of 'separate but equal' university facilities/provisions, which is intentionally misleading in that it confuses a common-sense interpretation (which logically emphasises equality) with #PowerControlSegregationJimCrowLaws [Wikipedia] era #SloganSeparateButEqual rhetoric, which was used as constitutional cover against possible criticism so as to maintain racial segregation (and which was overturned by the #1954_USBrownVersusBoardOfEducation ruling).
This point for example, is illustrative of Horowitz's #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuous re-framing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoxU_iWCov8&t=117s #OrgSyndicateTerrorismUSLoyalWhiteKnightsOfTheKuKluxKlanKKK [Wikipedia] #IRLWhiteSupremacistChristopherBarker #IRLSingerCardiB #2018_BlacKkKlansman #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreMusicEmo #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionCommonSense #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuous #TheoryFrameAnalysis
