What an idiot

Feels like Trudeau has been in office for like 10 years

I'm sure someone has thought about this before and said it but bear with me. If the left now considers immutable characteristics to be something we can simply identify as or with, this means that virtually everything is a choice. This simply reinforces the concept that discrimination is fine given that if choosing to be black or gay or whatever else connotates certain positions or characteristics about you, then others have a very legitimate argument to not want you around or to associate with you.

Example, the left says that certain black people aren't "authentically black" and should not identify as black or at the very least are not being good at being black. In that case, if I were to decide that being black meant a bunch of things I personally disagree with, then I'm within my right to not associate with those individuals. Not because of something they can't change, but because they made the choice to be black.


Does this logic follow?

The trouble is that logic is irrelevant to post-modern ideologies.

Why?

It follows their ideology

They reject reason as a path to truth, and consider the pursuit of truth as meaningless.

We see here, an NPC slowly realising that giving up freedom for security has consequences. https://twitter.com/jrmaidment/status/1050665347454394370?s=19

Hence why they can participate in double-think without any cognitive dissonance.

Even changing stances in consecutive sentences without any hint of confusion of inauthenticity.

Ok. Then I can simply say that their truth isn't my truth. Therefore their truth is irrelevant

If you have not already done so, please read or listen to the audiobook of Explaining Postmodernism

Ok

That seems vaguely fun

@oprahsminge How do you think the oppression hierarchy was justified?

I assume I'll need to decompress after

It's dense at first, but once you get past the first ~20% it's really revealing as to the behavior of extreme leftists.

@Abel using the concept of nothing being the truth

You are a white person, a white person's truth is less than a black person's truth

The extreme left didn't arrive at their behavior in a vacuum. There's an entire philosophical underpinning that is virtually unknown to the average joe.

What I'm trying to point out is that essentially, you can suggest some pretty incredible stuff. When you lay the logic like that out to regular people, they see the inconsistency perfectly

Indeed

Ok. So I guess to rephrase, is this a good way to describe the insanity to someone who is not entirely hooked in to seeing it?

Oh yeah, you can attack postmodernist ideas for a normie audience because normies are mostly modernist though they don't have any idea what that is.

But attacking a postmodernist's ideas using modernist philosophy is pointless as they reject the premise.

I'll listen to the book or read it as I would like to understand the underpinnings of it.

Hence why the best tactic against postmodernists is simply to ridicule them.

Right I get that part. I mean you neednt look further than twitter

Which is a pretty great distillation of the majority of leftists

Sorry I mean the majority of <:NPC:500042527231967262> 's

If you've listened to any of JBP's lecture series you'll find some familiar parts. JBP and Stephen Hicks are pals, though JBP doesn't do the material justice as he's not a professional philosopher.

Postmodernism is incredible, really

It's so flexible that it's bulletproof

I had a philosophy teacher in college (101 I wasnt going to school for it after all) and we touched on the concept of post-modernism. He said it's completely ridiculous as it's inherently flawed.

Oh yeah. Sargon did a video review of Explaining Postmodernism and he was really blown away once he understood how it works.

marxist subversion seems to be effective indeed.

I would like to get a video from @Timcast describing why he thinks the right seems to have such higher engagement with sources of news. Does this tell you anything about the "right"?

Sup you flannel faggot

reeeeeeeeeeeee
