Geoffrey Ingersoll, the editor in-chief with Daily Caller, went on an epic rant against the Left's deconstruction of language as an assault on truth and reality itself.
If you're as passionate about language and communication as I am, please enjoy this absolute smackdown of those "who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness."
[Warning: Language Ahead]
First, Ingersoll takes aim at the excuse that destroying language makes us more "inclusive:"
We've all been forced to use such terms in public discourse, even though this way of communicating is more confusing all around:
Ingersoll then points out (correctly) that the revision of words makes it harder for us to call out things that are evil and wrong:
As a side note, I would 100% pay to see Jake Tapper's reaction in the above scenario.
Ingersoll then points out how destruction in the name of inclusivity isn't enough: we are then forced to change our speech on threat of violence against us.
The example of a man being doxxed for giving $10 to Kyle Rittenhouse happened just a couple days ago. This isn't an academic exercise anymore. It's occurring next door.
The goal, Ingersoll says, is to create Orwellian Newspeak that transfers power into the hands of a radical minority:
Are you feeling the hit from this truth injection yet??
Ingersoll then notes what many of us have been saying for years: that Wokeism is a religion, and the reconstruction of language is part of reorienting reality around the idols, liturgy, sacraments, and traditions of that religion:
The last sentence there should send a chill down your spine. I could list a dozen mass murdering tyrants from the last century alone who fit the bill.
Ingersoll concludes with the statement that Wokeism is and will remain "unpopular and brittle" (because peeps like freedom), and can ultimately only advance its cause through violence:
Congratulations, you just made it through some straight fire without dying. Now get out there, word nerds, and take back the dictionary from the Woke!
