I'm talking about it's recent usage against ppo like @HeteroGamerVet & not the class of outwardly ironic weirdtwitter goons who have really dumb ardent faiths in shit like "equality" underneath their persona
Very good quote, I think irony is an ephemeral tactic, but one that should be discarded as it has the ability to corrode any higher metaphysical truth in its wake.

"In order for thought,subjectivity, to acquire fullness and truth, it must let itself be born; it must immerse itself in the deeps of substantial life, let itself hide there as the congregation is hidden in Christ; half fearfully and half sympathetically,
-
half shrinking back and half yielding, it must let the waves of the substantial sea close over it, just as in the moment of inspiration the subject almost dis- appears from himself, abandons himself to that which inspires him, and yet feels a slight shudder,
-
for it is a matter of life and death. But this takes courage, and yet it is necessary, since everyone who wants to save his soul must lose it." Almost all of Concept of Irony is quotable so I should just link it (https://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/kierkegaard%2FPrinceton%20University%20Press%20Readings%2F9780691020723_Concept_of_Irony_Hong_selections.pdf … (above from p274)
