Hell, I’ll admit I associate too many things with communism and socialism.

I just wish people would let conflict theory die.

IT FAILED!

conflict theory?

The Marxist idea of class conflict that modern leftists have expanded to include race and gender.

That's intersectionality lel

Though i don't think that started of as a marxist thing

Intersectionality is Frankfurt-School Marxism, isn't it?

That should still die.

No, no

That's postmodernism @devpav

Truth isn't real

Everything is a power hierarchy

I don't think Derrida is tied directly to the Frankfurt School.

That's the Frankfurt school

*Slaps @Abel*

Commie.

I don't actually believe those lol

I know, just needed to let that out.

The people who wrote the grievance studies papers wrote really good articles about postmodernism

That it’s little more than sophistry and hollow words?

Yep.

Postmodernism is cancer upon the West and intellectualism as a whole.

How so?

There are objective truths.

Past events show a clear line of cause and effect.

There are natural laws that must be obeyed.

It's the idea proposing objectivity and the concept of truth is a lie

It's so flexible that it's basically bulletproof

Postmodernists deny those facts and embrace a world of pure subjectivity.

For example "There are no natural sex differences, there are only docile bodies"

Objective facts include that the solar system is heliocentric, the Earth is round, murder is wrong, rape is wrong, cannibalism is wrong, eating dogs is wrong, etc.

No amount of cultural relativism or sociology will ever convince me that eating dogs is morally right or civilized.

You can’t change my mind on this.

wait until you are starving

I’d sooner eat my toes and ring fingers than eat my dog.

The amount of obsession both for and against Jordan Peterson is bizarre

I find the against more bizarre than the for

Lol. I was just about to say "He generally explains when he's giving an opinion vs facts. Whats so controversial about giving facts?"

I must have had a stroke

We exist in an era where basic search for meaning and self improvement is downplayed in favour of forming attachment to your flaws
