Yes but if they both insist their definition is the only one confusion & disagreement will exist.pic.twitter.com/cYkyBEaYsP

Insisting one definition is the only tue definition when others exist is a bit silly. Here's the thing: Definitions are a social construct

I think we just disagree about how badly discourse has been infected by PoMo. And I have very little time for PoMo

Probably. I know many people feel that PoMo is dead coz they're talking abt the high deconstructive phase, not the ensuing critical theory.

I don't think it's dead, but I also don't think critical theory is useless. In the same way I'm influenced by Marx but I'm not a Marxist.

We might differ on its usefulness. I'd like intersectional ideas incorporated into a liberalism which values shared humanity & individuality

Crenshaw gave a talk about the corruption of the definition of intersectionality recently, and you've reminded me to go look for it.

As for individualism vs collectivism, as a socialist I have a lot to say about that but it's way too long for Twitter.
