Speechless
Controlling Words, Controlling Minds
Book • 2021
In 'Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,' Michael Knowles argues that political correctness has undermined traditional values and free speech in American society.
He contends that the concept of political correctness has its roots in Marxist and Maoist ideologies and has been used to control language and thought.
Knowles criticizes both the Left for its assault on liberty and virtue and the Right for its ineffectiveness in countering these trends.
He advocates for a moral and political vision that upholds traditional standards and challenges the prevailing woke culture.
The book explores historical and philosophical contexts, including the role of censorship and the distortion of language, to make a case for a more robust defense of free speech and traditional values.
