The term "consign oblivion" refers to the act of deliberately forgetting, disregarding, or intentionally relegating something or someone to a state of complete obscurity, insignificance, or nonexistence. When one consigns something to oblivion, they effectively choose to ignore or overlook its existence, impact, or relevance.
The word "consign" here implies the deliberate and intentional act of assigning or sending something (or someone) into a specific state or place, with the aim of completely forgetting or dismissing it. It suggests a conscious decision to remove an object or idea from one's consciousness or from general awareness.
In this context, "oblivion" signifies a state of being completely forgotten, as if it were erased from memory or rendered irrelevant. It denotes a condition of nonrecognition or the absence of consciousness regarding a particular subject, often emphasizing the disregard or the nonexistence of that subject in public discourse, memory, or attention.
To consign oblivion can apply to various realms, including the history of a person, an event, a concept, or even an entire era. It implies an intentional suppression of the subject, ensuring it holds no significance or presence within the collective consciousness. By consigning something to oblivion, there is an active effort to detach it from any impact or importance it may have once had, effectively eradicating it from mainstream knowledge or discourse.
