I agree, but this goes back to the post modernist Jaques Derrida who gave such academia the term âdeconstructionâ and this is just another example. The whole thing is bullshit and another Marxist construct to dismantle Western Democracies and its institutions.
So AOC is the unwitting vanguard of the army of deconstructionists, forcing people to divide into classes⌠those whose âtracesâ are derived from knowledge and reading and those whose âtracesâ are derived from experience in poverty, crime, violence, and moral filth? I just made that up.
Sorry if I missed the videoâs main points. I enjoyed the video but had too few references to bring to mind to help with understanding⌠to know better what deconstruction is by knowing what it is not. (Iâve been reading recently about small engines and not philosophy. And generally for 30 years ⌠not about philosophy.) I had to pull old college references to Thomistic âjudgementâ and Hegelian dialectics to think criticically about the separation of signifier and signified.
As far as the political implicationsâŚlibs want to control the lexicon. But they want to control more than the words. They want to control manâs experiences because they want to control what your video referred to as the âtraceâ. Doing so intends to place a fence around the available thoughts and constructs that their idea man can have. But to be effective, the tabula rasa theory must be true. But I think of the tabula rasa as the perfect oyster and the âdirtyâ little specs of innate ideas that I believe that man has as the grains of sand from which come pearls. These people are dangerous for societies but not for humanity. They will always fail.
Canât ignore language! It is the delivery system in which such dangerous ideologies are communicated. It started within our educational system, and now we have a generation bent on the idea that socialism is the cure. Hence the rise of DeBlasio, Cortex, IlHan, Sinema and more to come if they are not challenged on their lexicon as you so aptly point out!
