Am I the only one annoyed by this new saying?
To have power is to exert control over things. To exert control is to work. The idea of "resting" in power seems like backwards addle-brained stupidity to me.
It just looks like modern rot to me. The perpetual fixation on power; having power, being powerful, reducing everything to "power" struggles. I'm sick of it.
Am I over thinking this?
No - you are right. One of the features of post-modernism is an infatuation with all things power exchange. They don't have friends they have allies. They don't have conversations they have dialogues. Everything to these people is a demand to extract action from other people.
Trump is still President. (and will probably get TWO terms.......)
Therefore anybody who gets slapped with "rest in power" was clearly an abject failure.
"Rest In Poser" perhaps.
The EFF Marxists in South Africa say the same stuff. Its commie talk for stirring a revolution.
They’re Marxist, everything is about power to them. Even death
There are gender study consultants paid to come up with this shit.
It's not "resting power." It's "Wresting power."
