Reification

@DorothyKohout [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: @prageru @JeremyDBoreing @JJudahIsaac @amalaekpunobi @VivekGRamaswamy @AmandaEnsing This Prager video gets the definition of #woke wrong in a rather significant way. The injustices aren't invisible unless you make a robust and very deliberate effort to not see them. [URL redacted]

Addendum the tweet criticises the PragerU short for its willingness to ignore #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional (and actually, #TheorySociologyIntersectionality). In this sense, the criticism implies that the piece is best understood as a deliberate, culturally induced form of ignorance i.e. #EpistemologyAgnotologyIgnorance ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuousGlibFacile

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

Supplementary #AdvocacyIntlTransEuropeAndCentralAsiaTGEU "This publication provides messaging to respond to some common narratives fuelling anti-trans movements. It is especially useful to combat anti-trans narratives used to justify the rollback the rights of trans people. These arguments focus primarily on the fundamental opposition between trans rights and the rights of women and children. They are misleading and deliberately based on falsehoods or half-truths." https://tgeu.org/trans-rights-are-human-rights/ #2021_TransRightsAreHumanRightsDismantlingMisconceptionsAboutGenderGenderIdentity ^[pdf] #IdentityLGBTQIATrans

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).
