Charlie Kirk: Victim of the Anti-Semite Antimeme?

more

An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it.

Antimemes are real. Think of any piece of information which you wouldn't share with anybody, like passwords, taboos and dirty secrets. Or any piece of information which would be difficult to share even if you tried: complex equations, very boring passages of text, large blocks of random numbers, and dreams…

Kabuki Racism? Or Streisand Effect Exploit?

....follow the Antimeme!

How many hits did Trump's "viral" Video get?

Thanks for getting the word out and making Trump's otherwise boring and uninteresting video go viral, Democrats!

Why Epstein's Association with US and Foreign Intelligence is More Interesting to Me than his Association with Underage Girls...

Fortunately, Epstein's Science "Advisors" were Ignorant Hacks Chasing Maths through the Looking Glass!

 

"Jeffrey Epstein is what I would call 'an anti-interesting phenomena'", said Eric Weinstein (12:07)... somebody call the Anti-Mimetics Division of Secure, Contain, Protect (SCP) Foundation to Report the Epstein Antimeme!

...but how to describe it in the Report?  Paedophilia?  A Sex Scandal?  ...or an Intelligence Construct?  Few unfamiliar with the nature of antimemes and conspiracy theories (ie- The Conspiratorium) would describe it as the latter.

 

...kinda like the Pizzagate, a de/ pre-bunking antimeme! :)

Selected Notes on Puerto Rico's History: From Spanish Possession to US Commonwealth

from Google AI:

As a result of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the subsequent Treaty of Paris, the United States acquired control over the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Spain relinquished sovereignty over these territories, marking the U.S.'s rise as a global power with overseas possessions. While Cuba gained independence, it was under U.S. influence.

The U.S. Senate approved the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in 1952 to grant the island greater local autonomy—including the right to draft its own constitution—while maintaining U.S. sovereignty, aiming to neutralize rising independence movements and deflect international criticism of American "colonialism". This new status served to provide self-government by consent while keeping the island under the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Key reasons for the creation of the Commonwealth (Estado Libre Asociado) included:

Political Self-Determination: Championed by Puerto Rico's first elected governor, Luis Muñoz Marín, the arrangement allowed for a local constitution, a popularly elected governor, and a legislative assembly, fulfilling demands for self-rule without full statehood. 

International Image & Communism: The move provided a "convincing answer" to charges of imperialism and colonialism, bolstering the U.S. position in the United Nations during the Cold War by showing a, "non-self-governing territory" achieving self-government.

Economic Strategy: It helped manage the economic situation and allowed for continued, stable, and close economic relations with the United States.

Legal "Compact": Congress enacted Public Law 600 in 1950, which authorized the process, establishing a "compact" between the U.S. and the people of Puerto Rico.

While it granted a "full measure of self-government" in internal matters, it maintained the ultimate authority of Congress over the island.

In 1952, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico adopted the flag officially, changing the triangle's color from azul celeste (sky blue) to a dark navy blue to match the United States flag. This political move was intended to align the flag with the U.S. and strip it of its original association with revolutionary, pro-independence movements.

Key Reasons for the 1952 Puerto Rico Flag Color Change:

Political Alignment with the U.S.: The change to dark blue was designed to make the flag "resemble the U.S. flag," signaling a closer relationship with the United States. 

Removing Radical Symbolism: The original flag, featuring a light blue triangle, was designed in 1895 and associated with pro-independence, anti-colonialist sentiment, and was once illegal to fly.

Distancing from Past Conflict: By adopting a navy blue, the newly established Commonwealth government aimed to distance the flag from its rebellious history.

Flag Normalization: The 1952 adoption allowed the public to display the flag legally after decades of it being forbidden by the U.S. colonial government, but with the modified, darker color.

The original azul celeste (light blue) color, representing independence, continued to be used by pro-independence advocates, while the navy blue version was used by the government and those favoring statehood. In 1995, the Commonwealth government officially returned to a lighter shade of blue, though not as light as the original revolutionary, for official use.

Symbols of Hidden/ Concealed Beauty/ Values OR Markers of Preselected Territorial Landscapes of Desire...?

from Google AI:

Lacan’s phrase "the desire of the Other" (le désir de l’Autre) posits that human desire is not innate or personal but is constructed, mediated, and directed by external, societal, and linguistic structures. It implies that humans desire what they believe others—specifically the "Big Other" (language, culture, society)—desire, and they crave recognition from another. 

Key Aspects of "Desire of the Other" 

Desire of the Other's Desire: Human, conscious desire is focused on being desired, loved, or recognized by another person, often modeled after the Hegel-Kojève master/slave dialectic.

Desire from the Other: Desire is shaped by the symbolic order (language and culture) into which a subject is born. The subject's desires are "inmixed" with these social, external, and legal structures, making it "the" desire, rather than "my" desire. 

Desire for what the Other lacks: The subject attempts to become the object that the Other lacks (e.g., the child trying to be the "phallus for the mother" in the Oedipal stage). 

Che vuoi? (What do you want?): The subject constantly questions what the Big Other desires from them, leading to a perpetual, unsatisfied search for validation, according to No Subject and YouTube. 

Anxiety and Proximity: Anxiety arises when this "Other" is too close, or when the subject is unsure what the Other wants, causing the symbolic structure of their desire to break down, say YouTube users. 

Ultimately, for Lacan, because desire is always aimed at the elusive, symbolic "Other," it is fundamentally a "metonymy of being" that is never fully satisfied.
