Context #AdvocacyUKInstituteForStrategicDialogueISD "Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, jurisdictions and tech platforms around the world have taken steps to prevent or limit the spread of Russian propaganda internationally. There is, however, an additional constraint hampering the efforts of Russia and its supporters in spreading disinformation: language. This Dispatch investigates a coordinated network of volunteers working to translate existing Russian-language propaganda and disinformation about the war in Ukraine into over a dozen languages. This includes content from pro-Kremlin influencers, particularly the controversial Ukrainian blogger Yuri Podolyaka, as well as Russian state media sources. The volunteers, who have branded themselves 'Info Defense', operate Telegram channels for each of the target languages. They also administer specifically-branded Info Defense accounts on YouTube, and disseminate their content across the major international social media networks through a multitude of smaller accounts. The significance of this network is at the base level in which it functions : a grassroots, relatively decentralised and cost-free network for the translation and distribution of propaganda. This model may appeal to both state- and non-state actors seeking to promote narratives and content to international audiences, and is likely to pose a challenge for platform content moderation efforts.... In a video message promoting the newly formed translation network, Podolyaka elaborated on the role which he saw himself and his supporters playing in support of Russia's war in Ukraine. He spoke at length about the way in which media coverage and information about the war in Vietnam helped to deplete domestic support for the war in the US, ultimately leading to the US's defeat and retreat from Vietnam. According to Podolyaka, if the public in Western countries only knew that Russia was really fighting against evil Nazis in Ukraine, they would force their governments to abandon the fight, as they did in Vietnam. 'This is the truth that they want to hide from their societies, and our task is to bring this truth to them,' he said." https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/the-info-defense-network-crowdsourcing-soldiers-for-the-information-war/ #IRLYouTuberYuriPodolyaka #2022_InvasionOfUkraine #PhenomnPropagandaDisinformation #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasDonetskPeoplesRepublicDPR #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasLuhanskPeoplesRepublicLPR #HandleTelegramTheEyeOfTheStormTEOS #HandleTelegramTheNodeOfTime #VlogCommonsence7885 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Wjx44gRwQ #NarrativeWarAmericaVietnam #NarrativeDenazification #MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseMainstreamMediaMSM #NMRURussiaTodayRTMargaritaSimonyan #PhenomnTalkingPointsRussian #OrgSyndicateAccordNetworkDecentralised #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson

The network's successes are still sporadic - a few tweets have reached viral influencers, and a few dozen videos on YouTube channels have garnered significant followings - but, for the first time, its content has had measurable reach. Moreover, the audiences it has reached are widespread and include influencers in Latin America, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Combined with the sheer scale of the network, and the fact that it has reconstituted itself after repeated takedowns, these features mark Spamouflage as a persistent and increasingly assertive online presence with a limited but growing ability to engage real users." https://graphika.com/reports/spamouflage-breakout #PhenomnSpamouflageDragon Elise Thomas, Albert Zhang and Jake Wallis (2020).

Supplementary #PoliticsFascismReligiousChristo #WebsiteBylineTimesStevenMonacelli "QAnon ideas have spread so widely among Christian congregations that hundreds of evangelical pastors signed on to an open letter in February condemning 'Christian Nationalism' and the role that QAnon has played in the radicalization of white evangelicals. 'Just as it was tragically inconsistent for Christians in the 20th Century to support the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi ideology, it is unthinkable for Christians to support the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, QAnon, 3 Percenters, America Firsters, and similar groups,' the letter read. Anon adherents often bristle at the term 'QAnon' and split hairs regarding the difference between the mysterious 'Q' who posts cryptic drops and the 'Anons' that attempt to decode them. Perhaps another name is in order: the Q Qlux Qlan. To be certain, there are non-white believers in the movement, including a handful of Black speakers at the recent 'Qonference'. But even the remnants of the KKK have started reaching out beyond White folks. Regardless of what one calls the movement, the deeply religious character of the prevailing beliefs and the zealotry of the adherents is abundantly clear. Moreover, the violent rhetoric of the movement -- including open calls for hanging politicians and a military coup -- invites comparisons to Christian Nationalism's more explicitly violent and totalitarian relative, Christian Fascism" (9 June 2021). https://bylinetimes.com/2021/06/09/the-christofascism-of-qanon/ #ConspiracyTheory_CabalQAnon #OrgSyndicateMilitiaUSProudBoys #OrgSyndicateMilitiaUSOathKeepers #OrgSyndicateMilitiaUSThreePercenters #AdvocacyUSDigitalCitizensAlliance [pdf]

this is an excerpt (page XX) from #1990_TheNewWorldOrder [site archive] by #IRLConspiracistAnthonyRalphEpperson [Wikipedia]
Context #TheoryDeclinism #_Focal
Supplementary the passage includes the conflation of #PoliticsFascismNazi and #PoliticsSocialism #MagazineUSPacificStandardNoahBerlatsky "the conflation of alt-right Nazis with a supposed 'alt-left' gives people like President Donald Trump and former Breitbart Chairman Steve Bannon rhetorical cover to slime their critics as the 'real fascists.' Perhaps even worse, claiming that the left is especially prone to fascist tendencies allows folks on other parts of the political spectrum to ignore their own complicity when actual fascism crawls out of the mud. The main argument for Horseshoe Theory is that both the far left and the far right are opposed to the centrist, neoliberal/capitalist status quo. Communists and fascists in the 1930s criticized the aging imperial democracies of Britain, France, and the United States as weak, corrupt, and--post-Great Depression--as hurtling toward a final collapse. More recently, the argument goes, left-wing radicals opposed centrist Hillary Clinton and France's Emmanuel Macron. By doing so, they offered de facto (and sometimes more than de facto) aid to racist, nationalist opponents like Trump and Marine Le Pen. We are told that left and right both want to destroy democratic norms and the sensible center. Therefore, Horseshoe Theory says, they work together. ... the anti-left rhetoric around political correctness--in which student left protesters with minimal power are presented as the 'real' totalitarians--is widely popular among figures as diverse as Angela Nagle, Jonah Goldberg, Chait, David Frum, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Trump himself. When you demonize leftists, it's the fascists who benefit--and there are a lot of people in American politics, of every political stripe, who like to demonize leftists." https://psmag.com/social-justice/an-end-to-horseshoe-theory #TheoryHorseshoe #IRLPhilosopherJeanPierreFaye #1939_MolotovRibbentropPact #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #IRLPoliticalStrategistSteveBannon #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyHillaryClinton #OrgClassifPPFRRenaissanceREEmmanuelMacron #PoliticsCentrism #PoliticsCommunism #PoliticsFascism #TauntLeftThe #IRLAuthorAngelaNagle #IRLActivistChelseaManning #IRLCommentatorJonathanChait #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesRossDouthat #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyJoeManchin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPLisaMurkowski #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPJeffSessions #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPaulRyan #OrgUSFedFBI #TheoryMarxism i.e. #OtheringHateAntisemiticCanardJudeoBolshevism #PoliticsFascismNaziPartyAdolfHitler #PoliticallyCorrectPC #IRLJournalistJonahGoldberg #IRLCommentatorDavidFrum #IRLIdeologueMiloYiannopoulosAKAMiloAndreasWagner #TheoryFishHook #NewspaperUSTabloidNewYorkPostSalenaZito #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyDickDurbin #MagazineUSJacobinConnorKilpatrick http://v2.jacobinmag.com/author/connor-kilpatrick #OrgClassifPPFRRassemblementNationalRNMarineLePen #MagazineUSGrist: https://grist.org/climate/grist-acquisition-pacific-standard/

Addendum #TheoryAffectiveResponsePanic post, which uses the same meme to frame its #ReasoningFallacyArgumentumAdPopulum i.e. "The event took place as planned and images and video quickly circulated across social media showing children looking at male-groomers dressed as clowns, along with armed Antifa guarding the whole event. Roanoke is a small town on the edge of the DFW Metroplex known for quality restaurants and trying to be normal. Many people say these types of events attract pedophiles. Protect TX Kids has a video of a leftist woman whipping out her breasts in public, right in front of her children." https://www.currentrevolt.com/p/small-town-tx-armed-antifa-guard
in context with the above, the mention of #IdentityDragQueen #IRLEntertainerDesmondNapolesAKADesmondIsAmazing is posed as a 'morality tale' about the consequences of straying from #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues
#PhenomnDragQueenStoryHourDQSH
Addendum this images projects the poster's #MetaphorThreatExistential, which the #CharacterisationEmasculationAmbiguityAndrogyny of seeing #IdentityLGBTQIATrans people reading to (and therefore interacting in a natural way with) children. Their #TheoryAffectiveResponseBewilderment seems to stem from an assumed framing where the actions of so-called #OtheringOutGroupTransgressiveDeviant are assumed to be #IdentityLGBTQIACodingHypersexualization and therefore present a paradox - contrasting 'deviance' with 'childhood innocence' i.e. #TheoryPoliticsOfInnocence. Of course, the obvious alternative, interpretation is that queer ≠ assume hyper-sexuality. Ironically, a family, by definition necessitates sexual intercourse (or at least, some sort of exchange of genetic material) - and so, if the above logic is followed, it would be #PhenomnSexualityHeterosexuality couples who pose the greatest threat not trans people. But then, these things aren't about logic, they're about (among other things) a #MetaphorThreatExistential felt through the perceived #CharacterisationEmasculationAmbiguityAndrogyny of contemporary social change. #_Focal i.e. this tweet represents a persistent theme, which sets trans against notions of the 'traditional family'. #MetaphorWarfareHeroGuardianOfChildhoodInnocence

@MistiWoodiwiss [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Jeden Tag beim Durchlesen der Timeline wird mir immer wieder bewusst, wie Recht doch Vince Ebert mit seiner Einschätzung hat. Vermeintlich intelligente Personen leben in ihrer bequemen moralinsauren Welt und wähnen sich bei den #Guten #woke #keinemedienkompetenz [URL redacted]
"Every day when reading the timeline, I realize how right Vince Ebert is with his assessment. Supposedly intelligent people live in their comfortable moral acidic world and think they are with the good woke - no media literacy" #IRLComedianVinceEbert
"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel discovered that humans use a large part of their intellectual capacity to find their way in their complicated social world. Why is my boss looking so weird today? What does my neighbor's innuendo mean about my new car? Is the waitress flirting with me or is she just being friendly? Our 'social' brain also checks facts from time to time. However, the question that is much more important to it is: what are the social consequences if I do or say this or that? So we have a mechanism in our heads that, when in doubt, even tells us prevents us from thinking what is right when in return it endangers our social status. This phenomenon becomes more prevalent the higher a person's social and economic status. Educated and/or wealthy people are more concerned about what others might think of their opinions. Because they have an academic reputation or a good professional position to lose. What's more, the more educated and smarter a person is, the more adept his brain is at selling him the biggest piece of nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it raises his social status. As a result, the upper educated middle class tends more to hang behind any intellectual crazy ideas than ordinary people. The American data scientist David Shor found in extensive studies that educated people hold more ideologically coherent and more extreme views than working-class people. Taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers often have much more connection to reality and common sense than professors, teachers and higher officials. The ideological follower sits less at the regulars' table and more in the lecture hall." #IRLPsychologistWilliamVonHippel #TheorySocialWorlds https://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?permalink=4006 #IRLScientistDavidShor #IdentityClassBlueCollar
Supplementary "populating one's field of vision with imaginary threats might offer a sense of purpose, which life in suburban America does not always provide." https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/two-days-talking-to-people-looking-for-jobs-at-ice/ #OrgUSFedGovImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcementICE #PhenomnBanality #1963_EichmannInJerusalem #BehaviourWanderlust [Wikipedia] #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific #NarrativeSenseOfPurpose
Addendum Ebert's explanation above is presumably comforting for those who aren't (according to his characterisation) 'educated and/or wealthy' or who have 'high social and economic status' - people, who as he characterises, are: 'taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers' i.e. that such explanations are used by those who have no hope of achieving success (financial and/or social) to bolster their confidence. And in doing so, presumably such a reaction is part of a broader strategy to dismiss criticism in an effort to reconcile a sense of personal failure becoming become manifest through retorts such as #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBiasIToldYouSo. In this sense, the phenomenon seems to function as a type of #PhenomnCautionaryTale or perhaps, a version of #TheoryPsychologyPsychologicalPurgationCatharsisHamartia [Wikipedia] where the threat of succumbing to "intellectual crazy ideas" provides a desired relief. #TheoryPsychologyInferiorityComplex #TheoryPsychologyDefenceMechanism [Wikipedia] #BehaviourInjuryFeelingRessentiment_ [Wikipedia] #TheoryAffectiveResponseIndignation [Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyPostHocErgoPropterHocPostHocRationalisation [Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyOversimplificationCausalReductionism [Wikipedia] #_Focal

Yet, notwithstanding the gadgets -- the rockets and the robots and the Department of Government Efficiency Musketeers, carrying backpacks crammed with laptops, dreaming of replacing federal employees with large language models -- few figures in public life are more shackled to the past. On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, Mr. Musk told a roaring, jubilant crowd that the election marked 'a fork in the road of human civilization.' He promised to 'take DOGE to Mars' and pledged to give Americans reasons to look 'forward to the future.' In 1932, when civilization stood at another fork in the road, the United States chose liberal democracy, and Franklin Roosevelt, who promised 'a new deal for the American people.' In his first 100 days, Mr. Roosevelt. signed 99 executive orders, and Congress passed more than 75 laws, beginning the work of rebuilding the country by establishing a series of government agencies to regulate the economy, provide jobs, aid the poor and construct public works. Mr. Musk is attempting to go back to that fork and choose a different path. Much of what he has sought to dismantle, from antipoverty programs to national parks, have their origins in the New Deal. Mr. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration provided 8.5 million Americans with jobs; Mr. Musk has measured his achievement by the number of jobs he has eliminated." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/opinion/elon-musk-doge-technocracy.html #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #CharacterisationVisionaryFuturist #MetaphorWarfareHeroMusketeer #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSFranklinDRooseveltFDR #IRLHistoricalFigureJoshuaHaldeman #PoliticsGovernanceTechnocracy #MetaphorDiseaseMindVirus #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #TauntPresumptionHubris #IRLEntrepreneurMarcAndreessen #TheoryFuturismFilippoTommasoMarinetti #PoliticsAuthoritarianismAutocracy https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/04/opinion/elon-musk-capitalism.html #NarrativeUtopiaPlacelessness #IRLAuthorDouglasAdams #IRLAuthorHGWells #IRLAuthorIainBanks #WorksSeriesTheCulture #ToponymAfricaSouthernSouthAfrica #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #PowerControlSegregationApartheid #IRLAuthorNovelistUrsulaLeGuin #IRLAuthorVirginiaWoolf

#EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaRitaAbrahamsen, #EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaMichaelWilliams "Ahmari's essay on dystopia begins by observing that 'Those of us who inhabit the Very Online Right like to point out how this or that new social phenomenon resembles this or that dystopian fiction. ... these resemblances to fictional dystopias should arrest us' (Ahmari 2021). Then he asks, 'What if dystopia is already here? What if our territory already conforms to maps drawn long ago by science-fiction authors? Could it be that we have crossed the invisible frontier that divides an ordinary place, an ordinary topos, from a dystopian realm?' Indeed, Ahmari is effusive in lauding the ability of dystopian fiction to place issues of the day (such as 'cancel culture, woke-ism and gender ideology') within wider frameworks that 'uncover the deeper currents shaping our age.' He sees these contemporary phenomena as 'merely the acceleration of older and deeper processes of ideological transformation' that dystopian fiction can help expose." Abrahamsen, R. and M. C.

#IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Viewed against that history, Musk's line about 'abolishing' the EU [tweet] [jpeg] is more than a libertarian thought experiment. It condenses the political slogans of Trumpism and Brexit into one sentence: the nation-state as the only legitimate unit of sovereignty; supranational institutions as inherently undemocratic; the EU as something done to people, not by them. Medvedev's one-word response - 'Exactly' - makes plain how neatly this dovetails with Moscow's long-term ambitions. As former president and now deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, he has become one of the regime's most aggressive public voices, regularly threatening Europe with escalation and calling for a remade world order. When he endorses the abolition of the EU, he is not being rhetorical; he is restating a core Kremlin objective that has underpinned years of covert finance, disinformation and interference. The screenshot collapses those agendas into a single image: a leading Russian official cheerleading the destruction of the EU, and a tech mogul with his hand on the levers of global speech amplifying the same idea." https://pdjukes.substack.com/p/musk-medvedev-and-the-long-war-on #OrgEU #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaDmitryMedvedev [tweet] #PhenomnBrexit

Context response to tweet (including a screen-shot) of page 24 of the #OrgUSFedFoodAndDrugAdministrationFDA [Government] 'Summary Basis for Regulatory Action' (8 November 2021) - downloadble from: [Government] i.e. "Moreover, since vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis is the most clinically significant identified risk, FDA undertook a quantitative benefit-risk assessment to model the excess risk of myocarditis/pericarditis vs. the expected benefits of preventing COVID- 19 and associated hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths. For estimation of risk, the model took a conservative approach by relying on non-chart-confirmed cases from a US healthcare claims database (OPTUM) that could provide a control group and greater confidence in denominators for vaccine exposures. Thus, the estimates of excess risk in this model are higher than the rates estimated from reports to VAERS (an uncontrolled passive surveillance system), with an estimated excess risk approaching 200 cases per million vaccinated males 16-17 years of age (the age/sex-stratified group with the highest risk). For estimation of benefit, the model output was highly dependent on the assumed COVID-19 incidence, as well as assumptions about vaccine efficacy and duration of protection. The assessment therefore considered a range of scenarios including but not limited to a 'most likely' scenario associated with recent Delta variant surge and diminished vaccine effectiveness (70% overall, 80% against COVID-19 hospitalization) compared to that observed in the clinical trial. The 'worst-case' scenario with low COVID-19 incidence reflecting the July 2021 nadir and the same somewhat diminished vaccine effectiveness as in the 'most likely' scenario. For males and females 18 years of age and older and for females 16-17 years of age, even before accounting for morbidity prevented from non-hospitalized COVID-19, the model predicts that the benefits of prevented COVID-19 hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths would clearly outweigh the predicted excess risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis under all conditions examined. For males 16-17 years of age, the model predicts that the benefits of prevented COVID-19 hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths would clearly outweigh the predicted excess risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis under the 'most likely' scenario, but that predicted excess cases of vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis would exceed COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths under the 'worst case' scenario. However, this predicted numerical imbalance does not account for the greater severity and length of hospitalization, on average, for COVID-19 compared with vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis. Additionally, the 'worst case' scenario model predicts prevention of >13,000 cases of non-hospitalized COVID-19 per million vaccinated males 16-17 years of age, which would include prevention of clinically significant morbidity and/or long-term sequelae associated with some of these cases. Finally, the model does not account for indirect societal/public health benefits of vaccination. Considering these additional factors, FDA concluded that even under the 'worst case' scenario the benefits of vaccination sufficiently outweigh risks to support approval of the vaccine in males 16-17 years of age." #OtheringOutGroupAntiVaxxer
Supplementary "CDC continues to recommend that everyone ages 5 years and older get vaccinated for COVID-19. The known risks of COVID-19 illness and its related, possibly severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospitalization, and even death, far outweigh the potential risks of having a rare adverse reaction to vaccination, including the possible risk of myocarditis or pericarditis."

Supplementary #IRLScholarDeandreMilesHercules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S06C9fgtbNQ&t=17s "Woke in its initial inception meant political consciousness for Black people about the histories of anti-Blackness in this [USA] country and globally rather than this kind of more generalised political consciousness that it came to take up. One thing that I think is a very common misunderstanding about woke is the idea that it was derived from this phrase 'stay woke'. Woke itself is a standalone word. It's a word that conforms to the syntactic and phonological, which is to say that the sound system and grammatical principles, of African American English which has its origins in the South. 'Awake' is synonymous with 'woke' right, so one might say, 'I was woke about, let's say 7am'. The idea of 'wakefulness' as a concept referring to political consciousness stretches as far back as 1923, and then we see it going all the way up through the 1980s. Marcus Garvey in 'The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey' in the frame of what we might think of as black nationalist tradition where he says, 'wake up Ethiopia, wake up Africa, let us work towards the one end of a glorious and redeemed and mighty nation', he's talking about political consciousness in the same way as Laurence Fishburne's character at the end of 'School Daze' in the 1980s film. In 1962, a New York Times article by a guy named [William] Melvin Kelley 'If You're Woke You Dig It' writing about cultural appropriation and linguistic appropriation of Black language and culture by white people, specifically. As early as the 1990s or the late 1980s, you see it more attached to the idea of 'political correctness'. This is the point of which white people I would suggest, begin using it reflexively. And so it doesn't now just have the meaning of thinking about anti-Blackness from the perspective of someone who experiences it. More now it refers to this more general sense of awareness, as a marker of general political consciousness attention to such issues as those environmental, feminists, regarding ability and so on. Childish Gambino's song 'Redbone', canonised the phrase 'stay woke' for a popular audience. While Childish Gambino might understand that 'wokeness', at least in its original inception, has a lot to do with our awareness of anti-Black oppression. Listeners to the song from a variety of demographics all over the world aren't abreast of that history and now are using it, the phrase, in a way that destroys its meaning. But it has also been taken up more recently by conservatives. And it became used in a negative or pejorative fashion, right or at least one that is mocking or sarcastic. In fact, it's a well-known and popular tactic of conservatives to pick up and shift the meanings of individual terms, to then weaponize them. Mark Milley and Matt Gaetz arguing about what's woke and what isn't, whether it's good or whether it's bad, where that has nothing to do with the case of the Scottsboro Boys or Emmett Till or Trayvon Martin or Sandra Bland or Rodney King or Ahmaud Arbery or Breonna Taylor or George Floyd. I'm not suggesting that it's necessarily a conscious process, but it's the result of the kind of consumption of Black culture, which has always had a lot of capital purchase in the United States and pop culture globally."

And #WebsiteVoxAjaRomano: "Before 2014, the call to 'stay woke' was, for many people, unheard of. The idea behind it was common within Black communities at that point -- the notion that staying 'woke' and alert to the deceptions of other people was a basic survival tactic. But in 2014, following the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, 'stay woke' suddenly became the cautionary watchword of Black Lives Matter activists on the streets, used in a chilling and specific context : keeping watch for police brutality and unjust police tactics."

Supplementary "Conflict theorists view social structure as inherently unequal, based on power differentials related to issues like class, gender, race, and age. 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

Supplementary #BrandTechSocialMediaYahooBethGreenfield "Part of the problem is how people discuss such instances of appropriation -- being reactive, case by case, rather than looking at the systemic inequalities behind the issue, the researcher and many others say. 'I don't find there to be a sophisticated debate about cultural appropriation in the media,' British critic and writer Afua Hirsch told George Chesterton in a GQ UK in a September 2020 story prompted by Adele being photographed in a Jamaica-flag bikini and bantu knots. 'It's less the act and more the ignorance behind it that is the issue,' Chesterton wrote, further quoting Hirsch, who said, 'I'm often asked to come on TV whenever a pop star wears cornrows and defend the idea that I would like to police their hairstyle. There is little interest in the broader picture of imperial racism and white supremacy that forms the context. So it ends up being a reductive conversation about whether it's OK for white people to do something, which is not my business.'" https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/non-black-celebrities-olivia-rodrigo-blaccent-appropriation-135706807.html #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianAfuaHirsch #IRLScholarDeandreMilesHercules #MagazineGQUKGeorgeChesterton #IRLSingerAdeleAdkins + #SymbolEmblemFlagJamaica.bikini + #SymbolHairstyleBantuKnots

#EDUCAMcGillUniversityJonathanJarry "What does an antivaxxer and a far-right activist have in common? If the thought of someone who opposes vaccines brings to mind tie-dye shirts and tree hugging, your answer may be 'nothing.' But clearly, some do have a commonality: protesting the COVID-19 lockdowns. Coverage from these protests often show people holding signs slapped with antivaccine rhetoric next to pro-militia activists and white supremacists. This phenomenon can also be seen among homeschoolers according to Anne Borden, a pro-vaccine homeschooler who fights against phony autism cures. 'The first antivaxxers I ever met were left-leaning unschoolers when I was an unschooled teenager. They were very much a part of the early efforts to 'stop the Food and Drug Administration' from regulating alternative medicine. What has happened in recent years is that this demographic of homeschooling is being now recruited by the radical right on social media, and some are turning right.

"The reason Hollywood celebrities are so negatively outspoken about Trump is because, over the next few years, when the politics part is done, they will be exposed as belonging to a sinister secret society who have been working to hurt and undermine us instead of entertain us. Once loved icons will not be able to work again, or even be seen in public without being mobbed and screamed at by angry and disgusted citizens. This is why they hate him. pedowood" #ConspiracyTheory_ #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific #OtheringElitesHollywood #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump
Supplementary "celebrity involvement in democratic politics is problematic because celebrities possess significant levels of epistemic power (roughly the power to influence what people believe) that is unconnected to any relevant expertise. This, they argue, creates a problem for deliberative and epistemic theories of democratic legitimacy, as these theories do not take this form of power into account. It is also a problem for any democracy attempting to live up to the ideals articulated by these theories, as this is a further challenge any society must overcome in order to meet these ideals."

Supplementary In this fallacy one argues, 'I feel it, so it must be true. My feelings are valid, so you have no right to criticize what I say or do, or how I say or do it.' This latter is also a fallacy of stasis, confusing a respectful and reasoned response or refutation with personal invalidation, disrespect, prejudice, bigotry, sexism, homophobia or hostility. ... 'Alternate Facts' work to 'put you off balance,' 'control the story,' and 'make you think you're crazy,' and she notes that 'presenting alternate facts is the hallmark of untrustworthy people.' The Alternative Truth fallacy is related to the Big Lie Technique.

"It has frequently been noticed that the surest long-term result of brainwashing is a peculiar kind of cynicism--an absolute refusal to believe in the truth of anything, no matter how well this truth may be established. In other words, the result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be de-famed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end is--being destroyed" (Hannah Arendt, 1967, p.82).
