The generational removal of methods of dissent or disagreement, alongside the subjective redefinition of words for political gain, will be difficult, if not impossible, to undo. For this reason, and this reason alone, the Left focuses on speech more than anything else. \u2018Speech is violence\u2019 justifies a violent reaction to speech, until the only speech that remains is deemed politically acceptable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"6\">\n<p><i><span>\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
