@DominiqueAshker [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : No wonder so many real women ask where have all the real men gone. If you let the weakest take over society, you soon won’t have a society. Go woke and you’ll send a society more then broke. What women want weak men ? What agenda’s want weak men ? #woke #biden #globalists #msm… [URL redacted] [URL redacted]

Addendum seemingly, the original meme, which was published to the AfD Instagram account (which is also accessible via the #BrandTechPicuki as linked here): https://www.picuki.com/profile/Afd.sachsen has been taken down (but is visible via various shared screen-shots). The AfD are a far-right, populist German party https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-37274201 And so, in context with this, the meme presents two caricatures: the left, #OtheringOutGroupTransgressiveDeviant versus the right, #TheoryCodedFemininityOverTradWives The tweet, which is critical of the AfD, seeks to foreground similar othering strategies used by the #OrgClassifPPDEAfDAlternativeFurDeutschland in 2022 and #PoliticsFascismNaziPartyNationalsozialistischeDeutscheArbeiterparteiNSDAP of #1935_.

Context "Modern 'Liberated' Feminists: Tons of makeup because of her low self esteem; Frequently changing relationships; Works minimum wage - because nobody needs their gender degree Bad lifestyle, unkempt; Already her third abortion at 22 and proud of it; Broken hair from too much colouring; The Traditional Woman: Loves her family and her homeland; Healthy ego through natural skin and hair; Slim figure through sport and healthy eating; Considers the upbringing and education of children to be her first duty; Living family, proud to live for her children, supports her husband in love."

But the Germans -- they stand foursquare. Look, children, and the two compare, The German and the Jew. Take a good look at the two In the picture drawn for you. A joke -- you think it is only that? Easy to guess which is which, I say: The German stands up, the Jew gives way. The German is a proud young man, Able to work and able to fight. Because he is a fine big chap, For danger does not care a rap, The Jew has always hated him! Here is the Jew, as all can see, Biggest ruffian in our country; He thinks himself the greatest beau And yet is the ugliest, you know!

And, as per 'Hogkitty' via an interview by #PoliticsNationalismAustralia YouTuber #IRLYouTuberDiaBeltranAKAClaudiaBenitez https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/jun/05/victorian-liberals-fear-far-right-extremist-youtuber-dia-beltran where Beltran talks to Browning about his character: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlTdfm0_0VA&t=21s #BrandTechStreamYard #VlogUnframeOfMindDanielWagner and #VlogUnframeOfMindAnthonyTrawick #WebsiteCaldronPoolBenDavis As is evident in this #WebsiteMumsnet comment, the representation has clearly been normalised: "Epic trolling and really funny.

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

Supplementary #MagazineUKFilmStoriesAJBlack "Perhaps a reason why comic-book heroism took hold across the 2010s was not just about how Marvel married traditional comic-book movie structures with must-see episodic television, but also our own growing awareness that the structures said heroes have long protected are decaying in western society. Captain America learns that HYDRA has corrupted SHIELD, that bastions of American freedom have been infiltrated by fascist extremists. Thanos seeks ultimate population control as a means of balancing resources. So many of these films speak not just to disrupters with arch plans but how they expose the frailty of government or democratic systems in their disruption, sometimes even working within them. This also could explain the 'lone hero' trope that has taken hold in recent years to a more intense degree. McClane, John Matrix, John Rambo were all lone heroes, but as an audience, you never doubted they would prevail. They existed within a cathartic, controlled and safe geopolitical sandbox either during the end of the Cold War or the unipolar security of the United States. After 9/11, it all started to change. Jason Bourne realised his own government, with its mass surveillance, was an Orwellian nightmare. James Bond returned to a complex world where CIA agents worked with brokers to help dictators as part of a scheme to control the supply of a natural resource (as we saw in Quantum Of Solace as an example). And Ethan Hunt steadily became, even within his own storytelling, 'a living manifestation of destiny' as one character describes him" (28 November 2024). https://filmstories.co.uk/features/what-exactly-is-the-modern-cinematic-hero-fighting-for/ #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #BrandMarvel #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUCaptainAmerica #BrandMarvelHydra [Wikipedia] #BrandMarvelSHIELD [Wikipedia]. #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUThanos #FictionalCharacterJohnMcClane of #1988_DieHard etc. #FictionalCharacterJohnRambo #FictionalCharacterJohnMatrix of #1985_Commando #TheoryPsychologyPsychologicalPurgationCatharsis [Wikipedia] #PhenomnIdeologicallyMotivatedViolentExtremismIMVE #PoliticsCommunismColdWar #2001_September11Attacks911 #2016_JasonBourne #IRLAuthorGeorgeOrwell #FictionalCharacter007JamesBond #OrgUSFedCIA #2008_QuantumOfSolace #FictionalCharacterEthanHunt
