The actually way its worded:
The way the article frames it:
What’s funny is with the full context of the statement, you can see that’s exactly what’s happening in this thread
It's obviously trying to conflate the two. Honoring written contracts is not the same as worshiping the written word. If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was, they'd probably say "loving reading" or "loving writing" or something to that effect. It's super obvious propaganda.
No, it's not. It's defining the phrase.
It is saying:
Is defined by:
It say nothing about the love of reading or writing, or contracts. And what's worse is that they are very clearly saying that "worship of the written word" is a characteristic/trait of white supremacy, not white supremacy. So you're missing (it seems willfully at this point) the meaning of what they are saying.
If you did that, you'd get a million different answers. And that's why they defined it:
You're just pulling this out of you ass.
All you're doing is making up a meaning that very clearly isn't there, and then getting upset over your own made up meaning.
What do yall call it? Dogwhistling?
Worship of the written word sounds like you love reading and writing. Lefties have a consistent problem with calling shit one thing, and trying to define it another. Everyone understands worship to mean 'love'. Like honestly, do yall really expect us to believe your nonsense? That you guys fucked up the messaging again?
And even if youre right, honoring contracts and nothing else is a trope of the devil. Trying to make that connection in kids brains is racist as hell.
To YOU. But not to everyone, which is why they defined the term they are using.
Get out of here with that bullshit.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/worship
This dictionary only includes love as 3 of 8 definitions.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/worship
This one doesn't include the word love at all.
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/worship
This one only includes it in 1 of 4 definitions.
So get out of here with this definition absolutism bullshit. Words can mean a million different things. And they explicitly explained what they are talking about, and you're the one fucking up the messaging.
The word contract isn't even in there.
I'd think they were talking about the Bible, honestly.
