Vigilant Citizen

Vigilant Citizen is a webshite that is dedicated to discovering the hidden "symbolism"(?) in the popular media, usually involving the Illuminati.
The outlet is heavily socially conservative and is always talking about how socialism is taking over the world.The Economist 2015 Cover is Filled With Cryptic Symbols and Dire Predictions A magazine cover proves the end times are near So really, it's Infowars but for popular media.
==Religious crankery==
Articles on Vigilant Citizen wouldn't be out of place on CBN.Beyoncé Accused of “Extreme Witchcraft” by Ex-Drummer“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” Will Be Extremely Satanic Vigilant Citizen makes Pat Robertson jealous with the amount of moral panic and pearl clutching.
==The problem with "symbolism"==
Most of the "symbolism" isn't even remotely related to Freemasonry at all (conspiracy theorists consider Freemasons and the Illuminati to be the same). For example, the pentagram, while mistakenly related to satanism, is actually a pagan symbol. The magical thing about symbolism is it's very subjective, so while everyone else sees a stupid music video, Vigilant Citizen sees the impending Satanic apocalypse.The Blatant Occult Symbolism of “Up” by Young Thug and Lil Uzi Vert
=="Sources" for the crankery==
Most of the articles on Vigilant Citizen refer to "Project Monarch" and "Sex-kitten programming," which are terms that were used by promoters of the Satanic Ritual Abuse conspiracy theory. Brice Taylor,#1196: Brice Taylor Cathy O'Brien and popularized these terms amongst conspiracy theorists.

Vigrid

Vigrid (named after the field on which the battles of Ragnarok will be fought, and not to be confused with the main setting of Bayonetta) is a neo-Nazi Odinic cult based in Norway. It was founded by Führer Father Pastor Balder Tore Tvedt and is currently led by Thorgrim O. Bredesen.
Unlike Norse neo-pagan religions such as Asatru, Vigrid's theology is monotheistic, revolving around a belief in an omnipotent, Yahweh-esque "Odin" as the true god, and ignoring the rest of the Norse pantheon. Odin's arch-enemies, according to the Tvedtites, are Jews and all non-whites, which his army of Nordic blue-eyed blondes must destroy. Unfortunately, the Vast Jewish Conspiracy seems to be too powerful to be destroyed by their supposedly omnipotent god, considering that it continues to control everything in the universe and Vigrid has been unable to stop it. Or maybe, Vigrid is bullshit. You decide.
Basically, it's a European pagan version of Christian Identity or the Ku Klux Klan.
Vigrid started a political party that ran in the 2009 elections in Buskerud. They got a poor result overall — precisely 179 votes, 1 more than the Abortion Opponents' List and 6th worst overall, coming out at 0.007% of the total votes — but won 9% in a school election, because some kids thought voting for Nazis would be cool. This exceedingly bad turnout is made worse by the fact that you need 500 signatures of support to run in an election in Norway.
Ironically, the best-known Norwegian Nazi heathen, Varg Vikernes, is not known to be a member of this organization.

Vincent Chin

Vincent Jen Chin was a 27-year-old Chinese-American draftsman from Detroit, Michigan who died on 23 June 1982, following a beating by Chrysler plant supervisor Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz four days earlier.
At the time of the assault, many autoworkers in the city (including Nitz) were out of work, the result of Detroit's automakers facing stiff competition from Japanese automakers. This led to prejudice against anybody who looked "Japanese", i.e. anybody of East Asian descent whether or not they were actually Japanese American. Chin was celebrating his bachelor party at a strip club, when a fight broke out between Ebens and Nitz on one side and Chin and his friends on the other. Many witnesses said that Eben and Nitz started the fight, with one alleging Eben shouted, "It's because of you little motherfuckers that we're out of work!"During the later civil rights trial, it was discovered that the witness who reported this statement had been given leniency on a prostitution charge, leading to accusations that she made it up in order to get a deal. Other witnesses, including Eben and Nitz, said that Chin attacked Eben. In the end, both parties were thrown out. Later, Ebens and Nitz searched around for Chin, found him at a McDonald's, and beat him into a coma with a baseball bat. "It's not fair..." were his last words. Ebens and Nitz were arrested by two off-duty police officers who witnessed the assault.Wu, Frank H. "Why Vincent Chin Matters." The New York Times, 22 June 2012 (recovered 14 November 2014).
In court, a plea-bargain brought the charges against Ebens and Nitz down from second-degree murder to manslaughter. They were both sentenced to three years probation and a $3000 fine. Neither served any jail time as punishment (though Ebens did after his arrest, for the rest of the weekend). Judge Charles Kaufman justified the light sentence on the grounds that: "These weren't the kind of men you send to jail... You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal." The judge had several previous controversial decisions, imprisoning school teachers for refusing to work and imprisoning a town board for not approving a new sewer line. Many Asian Americans were appalled by these trivial penalties, and groups coalesced to demand a retrial. A federal civil rights case was brought against Ebens and Nitz. During the trial, Ebens was found guilty, but the conviction was later thrown out due to coaching of prosecution witnesses. Chin's mother, disgusted by these proceedings, moved back to China.OCA MOURNS DEATH OF LILY CHIN. (2002, June 10). Organization of Chinese Americans.

Virgin

A virgin is someone who's never had sex.
Many traditional cultures view virginity as a positive, as it is fancifully perceived as some kind of "magical and pure" state. However, it usually represents a very chauvinistic and self-centered attitude.
==Historical perception as a holy thing==
Historically, some cultures have perceived virginity as a holy thing and a largely desirable trait in a woman, like paying the father of a woman with the understanding she is a virgin. The Bible also seems to value virginity in a wife over the life of the woman, as women could be stoned to death for not being virgins, even if they got raped. Islamic culture in particular makes mention of having 72 virgins in paradise after the person has martyred themselves. This translation is, of course, debated by many Islamic apologists.
==Biblical use==
In the Bible, Mary the mother of Jesus is called a virgin, specifically parthenos (sexually pure woman) in the original Greek of the New Testament. The birth of Jesus is claimed to have been a virgin birth.
Further, this virgin birth is claimed to fulfill an Old Testament prophecy from Isaiah. However, Isaiah wrote in Hebrew, not Greek, and he used the Hebrew word actually meaning "young woman". Bethulah means "woman who has not had sex" (c.f. ); almah, the word used in , means just "young woman" and only sometimes "sexually pure woman," the correct meaning to be ascertained from context.Virgin. Archived thread from alt.atheism.moderated on Usenet.Michael Paulkovich and Robert M. Price, Beyond the Crusades. American Atheist Press, 2016. . Dictionaries were not invented until the 18th Century CE, and before that, words did not always have precise definitions. 
The Jews of the first century CE typically read their scriptures in the Greek translation, known as the Septuagint. And the Septuagint translated almah as parthenos, making it seem that Isaiah was talking about a virgin birth rather than just a young woman giving birth. Moreover, Isaiah in the Hebrew Tanakh employed present participle, not future tense; the Greek translators changed it to future in the Septuagint. This was the inspiration for the gospel myth of the virgin birth. Thus, the Gospel of Matthew attempts to justify the divinity of Jesus with a prophecy that was never actually made.
==Virgin-shaming==
Virginity in men (and asexual people) is often shamed as a sign of being an undesirable loser, as if getting laid is some measure of worth. An argumentum ad cellarium fallaciously dismisses a man's arguments by saying he's a basement-dwelling virgin. Insulting people on their virginity, or their inability or unwillingness to get laid, can be discriminatory for asexuals, those that are sterile, and those that otherwise cannot have sex due to external circumstances (social awkwardness, mental health problems, and simply either being unable to find an appropriate partner or not wanting to find one for whatever reasons).

Virgin cleansing myth

The virgin cleansing myth is the erroneous and extremely harmful belief that many sexually transmitted diseases, in particular syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV/AIDS, can be cured by having sex with a virgin, particularly a child. Besides being unsubstantiated by any scientific evidence whatsoever, not only does it fail to work as advertised, but it is also a way of spreading sexually transmitted diseases and to encourage and justify the rape of children.
==Prevalence==
The prevalence of virgin cleansing is unclear, but accounts of the belief are reported from sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
===South Africa===
A 2002 survey by the University of South Africa found that 18% of South African laborers believe that having sex with a virgin cures HIV/AIDS; while a previous 1999 survey by sexual health educators in Gauteng found that that 32% of the participants believed the myth.
Anthropologist Suzanne Leclerc-Madlala wrote that the virgin cleansing myth is a possible factor in rape of babies and children by HIV-positive men in South Africa; and psychologist Mike Earl-Taylor said that the myth may explain the increasing number of child or infant rapes in South Africa. Also, UNICEF attributed hundreds of rapes of young girls to the myth.
In 2001, commenting on a series of rapes of babies and very young children in South Africa, Dipuo Peters, the Northern Cape minister of health, said: "I suspect that at least part of the reason these children were raped is because of the myth held in rural areas by men with HIV that they can cleanse themselves by having sex with a virgin. [...] I do a lot of AIDS education; this myth is firmly entrenched and we are doing our best to dispel it."
===Zimbabwe===
Betty Makoni, an activist who founded the Girl Child Network in Zimbabwe in 1999, a charity which cares for Zimbabwe's young sex abuse victims; says that the virgin myth is perpetuated by traditional healers, who advise HIV-positive men to have sex with virgin girls in order to cure their diseases. In Zimbabwe, it is also believed that the blood produced by raping a virgin cures the infected person's blood of the disease.
===India===
In 2017, Urmi Basu, the founder of New Light, an NGO working with HIV-positive people in some of Kolkata's poorest districts, reported that HIV-positive men are sleeping with virgins, in the hope that they will receive a blessing from a goddess and be cured of their disease, with "an absolutely devastating impact on the lives of the girls who are in the red-light district".

Virtual particles

Virtual particles are a simplified explanation of spacetime's quantum field activity, most commonly used in a well-known but wrong explanation of Hawking radiation.
In a layperson's conception of reality, particles are specks of matter flying through empty space. On the other hand, quantum field theory treats space as a field with an energy level at each point. Due to the uncertainty principle, no point can ever be definitively said to have zero energy, but most hover around that level; particles are simply points where the energy is significantly above zero propagating through the quantum field. To make this model's background quantum field activity easier to comprehend, many people subscribe to a lies-to-children explanation that particle-antiparticle pairs constantly appear in space by borrowing a little energy from spacetime before immediately annihilating each other and returning that energy. This model, though widespread, is inaccurate; a more accurate analogy would be to imagine spacetime as an "ocean" where small "ripples" of near-zero energy constantly propagate through its quantum fields.How does Hawking Radiation REALLY work?

Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America

World Hindu Council of America (called Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America in and abbreviated as VHPAVishwa is a word which means "the world" or "Earth". Parishad is a Hindi word which means "council".) is a social conservative Hindutva organization operating in the United States. It has sister organizations in many other countries in different parts of the world such as in the United Kingdom, in Canada, in Australia etc.
==Homophobia==
The view that marriage is defined as a union only between a man and woman, and not between and a man and a man and a woman and a woman, is a homophobic view. VHPA espouses this homophobic mindset by stating that "a wedding is only between man and a woman":
The above statement also endorses the conservative mindset that having children is an "important duty" of a married couple. This mindset is used to justify opposition to same-sex marriage. The website of the VHPA quotes a Hindu priest from the US:
The sister organization in the United Kingdom, the VHP UK, supports civil partnership between same-sex couples, but believes the term marriage applies only to an union between a man and a woman. The following are quotes from their website:Hindus, Marriage & Equality Vishwa Hindu Parishad (UK)

VisualPolitik

VisualPolitik is a political YouTube channel that provides detailed commentary on world politics and current affairs, often from an aggressively neoliberal perspective. Originally founded by Enrique Couto, Enrique Fonseca and Alberto Rodriguez in 2017 as a Spanish-language channel,Visual Politik, un proyecto auspiciado por un vallisoletano, logra 146.000 seguidores en un año it has since created English- and German-language subsidiaries, with the English-language version presented by Simon Whistler as only one of his approximately 2 million infotainment channels. These channels provide little of their own content, instead doing cut-and-paste translations of the videos on the original Spanish channel, and as a result there's a large number of videos about Spain or Latin America by the standards of English-language media. As of May 2020, the English-language channel alone has close to a million subscribers and more than 100 million total views,VisualPolitik EN while the original Spanish channel has almost double these numbers.
In spite of the channel's success, its videos have received some criticism both for their openly neoliberal ideology, with a large number of their videos advocating for free trade and tax breaks for large businesses as the main method of achieving economic development, and more generally for being sloppily-researched and valuing quantity over quality. A good example is its video on New Zealand about how it was such a great economic success story due to its policy of The Great REVOLUTION of NEW ZEALAND? - VisualPolitik EN in which they used clips of a demonstration in the early 1980s that they insinuated was due to economic turmoil, but was actually an anti-apartheid demonstration and had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the domestic issues at the time. Its videos about Canada, in particular, have also come under fire for oversimplifying Canada's main political issues and for aggressively cheerleading the government of Justin Trudeau.I don't like this guy's videos about Canada In addition, they have been criticised for using tactics to pad out the runtime of their videos, such as repetitive use of the same three songs in all their videos (often over the top of the presenters themselves so you can barely hear what they're saying), long pauses and captions read out in slow motion by a guy who sounds like he's had a couple of pints too many.
