Men, to boot

understanding postmodernism is essential, as is subsequently reading and memorizing the rules for radicals.

only then will any of this shit make sense. without understanding postmodernism this kind of shit just seems like insanity.

it's not insanity. it's a diabolically intelligent and effective strategy for seizing and wielding power.

It's certainly a strategy, it wouldn't have become so popular in academia otherwise.

Seems to have been co-opted by the left for the most part

It's too chaotic to master.

the normal tools one would use to engage with and debunk this pyramid, i.e., reason, logic, and facts, do not function as they will deconstruct your lived experience to negate and render irrelevant everything you say.

It just seeks and destroys and doesn't rebuild.

so the most effective tactic against such constructs is to use their weapon against them: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."

it's why memes drive them up the fucking wall. they can't deal with them.

im guna use this pyramid whenever a white leftist tries to argue with me

yes

"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

^

and b like

honestly. I think the people you have to argue with using this pyramid.. are beyond approach

"youre talking over a poc, this is tacit support of white supremacy"

lmao

If everyone is a white supremacist, no one is.

if they are male, also talking over females, which is patriarchy

mansplaining yo

Ive given up trying to convince post modernists of anything.

Post modernism seems to be scientific irrationality

which furthers divide

its just a complete negative feedback loop

It is explicitly not scientific.

Irrational, very.

"You say you're saying the truth, *but how do **you** know you're saying the truth?*

That doesnt mean I stop discussing things with them, I just shifted how I use discussions with them.

"OBJECTIVISM IS A LIEEEE"

Just finished Lauren's Farmlands documentary and I am both impressed by the production values and frustrated that there is so little solid information.

It's important to keep in mind that most people who engage in post-modernist tactics don't actually know what post-modernism is or explicitly follow it as a philosophy. They are just kind of infected with it.

im trying to come up with a shirt design for "homogeneity of thought"

@Porcelain chips It's a documentary, what did you expect?

I mean, if you've spent years being immersed and indoctrinated in the mindset, you pick up the tactics by osmosis as opposed to actually reading Derrida or Lyotard, etc.

i wanted to make a peter jordanson shirt where he strives for homogeneity of thought and he has purple hair

use his makeup pic

if you havent seen that

its something

Farmlands is probably meant to put a human face on the issue moreso than actually telling people a ream of facts about it.
