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).

The first draft was widely criticized for politicizing math instruction by inserting 'environmental and social justice' into the math curriculum, having students solve 'problems that result in social inequalities,' and rejecting the notion that math is a 'neutral discipline.' Because of intense backlash, including an open letter signed by more than 1,200 mathematicians, scientists, and education leaders, the first draft was pulled back. But now, a second draft has been released and it is still filled with woke concepts and prescriptions. The second draft says that the goal of teaching math will be to 'promote racial justice.' Indeed, five of the 14 chapters of the framework are focused on equity, with the CDE saying that 'equity influences all aspects of this document.'" https://townhall.com/columnists/lanceizumi/2022/05/07/woke-math-returns-to-california-n2606895 #LiteralSchoolPublic #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI #MetaphorWarfareCultureLiberalEducation #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive

Addendum this tweet evokes the #MetaphorSpatialMiningFiniteResource, where it makes the assumption that knowledge/intelligence is finite can be objectively measured i.e. as per the logic of #TheoryInstrumentalism. This worldview sits in opposition to more contemporary understanding, which sees that knowledge is cultural contingent i.e. #EpistemologySociallyConstructedKnowledge. So, instead of Albert Einstein's intelligence being solely attributable to his own endeavours as per #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive it would be more correct to say that his intelligence was the product of a combination of factors i.e. his individual efforts (and predispositions) as enabled through the circumstances of his socio-cultural context.

It's also intended to make people think about and question their surroundings. 'We like the idea that is it's called 'Fecal Matter,' even if we are labeling it as something disposable,' says Bhaskaran. 'The relationships that humans have with material possessions is something that we are trying to play with.' The two had come up with the manifesto about two years ago during their last year in fashion school in Montreal. 'It's things that we don't like in the industry, like the child labor, the waste that goes on in the fabric industry, the dyes that are harmful for the environment,' says Bhaskaran. 'By talking about that, that is how we became friends. Through that, we decided to a platform of how to discuss uncensored ideas and promote critical thinking.' Another facet to the idea behind the platform? One has to really like the clothing in order to buy it. After all, 'Fecal Matter' doesn't exactly roll off the tongue when someone asks where you got that great jacket from. (For the record, the line does offer several great jackets.) 'You have to really like what you're buying into and you really have to love the design and the textile,' says Dalton.

Addendum the film operates as a heavy-handed polemic on the perils of #PolicyAffirmativeActionDiscriminationPositive.

His distinctive contribution was to explore how a certain conception of property ownership had shaped liberal thinking about individualism. Beginning with #IRLPhilosopherThomasHobbes, Macpherson argued, one finds a tradition of political theory in which ownership is constitutive of individuality, freedom, and equality. To be an individual is to be an owner--in the first instance, an owner of one's own person and capacities, but also of what one acquires through the use of one's capacities. To be free is to be an owner. Freedom is defined in terms of independence from others, and one is independent only when one has the right to use one's property, including one's abilities, as one chooses. Even equality is linked to ownership, because being an owner of one's own person and capacities is a status that every individual can enjoy equally. In the political theory of possessive individualism society is presumed to consist of relations among independent owners, and the primary task of government is to protect owners against illegitimate incursions upon their property and to maintain conditions of orderly exchange. The notion of ownership here draws upon an understanding of property as private and exclusive, entailing the right of owners to exclude others and to use or dispose of their property as they choose.' This version of individualism is ultimately justified on the grounds that it is congruent with human nature, for human beings are portrayed as bundles of appetites that are, in principle, unlimited and not subject to rational scrutiny. A social world organized around individuals as owners will, it is said, maximize the satisfaction of such desires." (Carens, 1993, p.2) ^[pdf] CARENS, J. H. (1993).

For a conflict theorist, culture is seen as reinforcing issues of 'privilege' for certain groups based upon race, sex, class, and so on. Women strive for equality in a male-dominated society. Senior citizens struggle to protect their rights, their health care, and their independence from a younger generation of lawmakers. ... Conflict theorists believe that a society's system of material production has an effect on the rest of culture. People who have less power also have less ability to adapt to cultural change. This view contrasts with the perspective of functionalism. In the U.S. culture of capitalism, to illustrate, we continue to strive toward the promise of the American dream, which perpetuates the belief that the wealthy deserve their privileges." https://courses.lumenlearning.com/sociology/chapter/theoretical-perspectives-on-culture/ i.e. #PhenomnProsperityWealthInequality #TheorySociologyConflictTheory #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive #_Focal

Addendum criticism that #TheorySociologyIntersectionality will inevitably lead to further 'individualisation' i.e. #TheoryMarginalisation can be understood in terms of #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz's characterisation of the divide between #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation, which is characteristic of what Reckwitz defines as #TheoryHyperculture versus the impulses of what he defines as #TheoryCulturalEssentialism (which he explains is deeply invested in #TheoryCulturalEssentialismRegulatedCollective).

"THE ULTIMATE MINORITY IS THE INDIVIDUAL, THE INTERSECTIONALISTS WILL EVENTUALLY FIGURE THIS OUT OF THEY DON'T KILL US ALL FIRST. GET WELL SOON JP"

Supplementary #HandleRedditLegitimateShift8 ^[commentary] "I feel like whites who are super 'woke' tend to be more racist than whites who aren't. As black man there is nothing I hate more than a 'woke' white person. The super 'woke' white people I've met have a tendency to almost preach to you how much they hate racism. How much they hate the hardships that black people have faced and how much they hate how hard your life has been. How hard it must have been dealing with the drugs and violence that was 'ingrained' in our community and growing up in the projects because of systematic oppression. I know that in some ways it comes from a place of them wanting me to trust and like them, but I can't help but feel as if they are pitying me and black people as a whole. It feels as though they are, subconsciously, believing into the negative stereotypes more than they are going against them. The best friendships and interactions I've had with white people have been with the ones who just treat me and other black people like humans. They acknowledge my ethnicity, but they don't make preconceived notions and judgements because of it. They treat me and other black people with the same respect and kindness they would treat everyone else with. They don't treat us like wounded, fragile victims who need to be constantly reminded how much you feel sorry for them."

"White dominant culture describes how white people and their practices, beliefs, and culture have been normalized over time and are now considered standard in the United States. As a result, all Americans have all adopted various aspects of white culture, including people of color." #OrgUSNtlMuseumOfAfricanAmericanHistoryAndCultureNMAAHC https://nmaahc.si.edu/learn/talking-about-race/topics/whiteness #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverRugged #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive

Addendum the film operates as a heavy-handed #PhenomnPolemic on the perils of #PolicyAffirmativeActionDiscriminationPositive. In doing so, its unsubtle message fails to recognise that we are all products of societal agendas and biases and that despite the (naive) insistence that achievement is solely and #TheoryInstrumentalism.ally the product of #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive the reality is that #EpistemologySociallyConstructedKnowledge i.e. that as much as we have freewill to shape our own circumstances, we are also situated within a socio-cultural context that exerts a force, which we must act in relation to - we are, as much as anything, products of our circumstances.
