Speaking truth to power? It's all about the politics of meaning. Can't you see?

Is this a code phrase? What does it mean?Just a new phrasing of an old notion.
Being willing to tell the emperor that he's wearing no clothes.

A quick review of
Brave New World would answer your question. It's a meaningless phrase, flypaper for the ignorant.
Ever been in a group where someone will throw out a totally meaningless phrase and most of the others will nod or get the deer-in-the-headlights look?
Well, there is usually one person in the group who will say "Huh? that makes no sense!" or" "I don't understand that."
Most normal people are so afraid to appear ignorant that they play into the demagogues hands. But to rely on this technique is the surest sign of intellectual bankrupcy.

"Speaking truth to power" is what you SAY, when you have to LIE to the people who, if you fool them, can put you back in power.

It means, "We'll determine for you what the truth is after we're back in power."
To: L,TOWM
It's just one of those feel good, meaningless, catch phrases the left is so enamoured of, the kind that roll off the tongue like water after they've taken a half dozen bong hits and listened to Rage Against the Machine for a couple of hours in a Berkeley dorm...

The leftists use this phrase to pretend they are under a tyranny that they are bravely speaking up against and in peril for doing so. A favorite leftist phrase that comes from the
Quakers. Here's a use of it from 1992

post #54 explains this phrase. So the billionaire Teresa Heinz Ketchup is courageously "speaking truth to power" ? What a hoot.
