By far the largest part of the responsibility for those displaced around the Middle East has been borne by neighbouring countries, in particular Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Europe has been reluctant and defensive in responding to a crisis for which it is at least partly to blame. There has been a complete failure to agree a fair process for resettlement of refugees across the 28 member states. Greece and Italy have been left, for years now, to manage an unprecedented influx of desperate men, women and children. In an unparalleled international political vacuum, there has been little global leadership." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/01/the-guardian-view-on-refugees-and-migrants-solidarity-not-fear #PhenomnImmigrationRefugee #2010_ArabSpring [Wikipedia] #ToponymAfricaEastUganda #ToponymAfricaNorthSudan #IdentityMiddleEasternAndNorthAfricanMENA #ToponymEastMiddleTurkey #ToponymEastMiddleLebanon #ToponymEastMiddleJordan [Wikipedia] #ToponymEuropeGreece #ToponymEuropeItaly #PhenomnPolicyForeignLeadership

Addendum the #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmationIToldYouSo #BehaviourSmugness tenor of this tweet strongly suggests a #OtheringCaricatureBrexitBrexiteer perspective. Put bluntly, who benefits from wishing ill of the EU? Such characterisation also evokes a metaphorical othering exemplified by the #PhenomnBrexit #CatchcryLoveEuropeButNotEU, where #ToponymEuropeUKEngland_ was (erroneously) understood to be separate from #ToponymEurope, creating a distinction (evoking #MetaphorSpatialTerritory_ symbolism) where #ToponymEuropeUKBritishIsles and #ToponymEuropeContinental are framed as being wholly distinct (and so incurring no impediment through their divorce). This reminds me of #IRLScholarGeorgeLakoff's #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT analysis as per: "Consider Brexit, which used the metaphor of 'entering' and 'leaving' the EU. There is a universal metaphor that states are locations in space: you can enter a state, be deep in some state, and come out that state. If you enter a café and then leave the café, you will be in the same location as before you entered. But that need not be true of states of being. But that was the metaphor used with Brexit; Britons believed that after leaving the EU, things would be as before when the entered the EU. They were wrong. Things changed radically while they were in the EU" (23 July 2016). http://george-lakoff.com/2016/07/23/understanding-trump-2/ #PoliticsNationalismRomantic

Supplementary #MagazineAUQuilletteMattMcManus "conservatives decry postmodernism for undermining belief in traditional epistemological and moral standards. These criticisms are not especially powerful, since they are largely predicated on a nostalgic desire to hold onto those specific standards regardless of their tenability... Postmodern conservatives increasingly regard strong truth claims about knowledge and morality with active suspicion and even hostility. This is because they regard the intellectual and cultural 'elites' who produce knowledge and popularize moral norms as progressive, abstract, and unlikely to sympathize with their concerns. Rather than attempting to formulate alternative claims about knowledge and morality which might have some epistemic and meta-ethical tenability, postmodern conservatives reject even these standards. Instead, they largely appeal to identity as the locus for epistemic and moral validity. This is, in turn, used to rally political support for a given agenda designed to restore that identity to power." https://quillette.com/2018/05/17/emergence-rise-postmodern-conservatism/ #TheoryPostmodernConservatism #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated

Addendum postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/

#1941_EscapeFromFreedom [Wikipedia] "of these arguments has become apparent. We have been compelled to recognize that millions in Germany were as eager to surrender their freedom as their fathers were to fight for it; that instead of wanting freedom, they sought for ways of escape from it; that other millions were indifferent and did not believe the defense of freedom to be worth fighting and dying for. We also recognize that the crisis of democracy is not a peculiarly Italian or German problem, but one confronting every modern state. Nor does it matter which symbols the enemies of human freedom choose: freedom is not less endangered if attacked in the name of anti- Fascism than in that of outright Fascism."
