I like Helen but this is the most extreme of takes. @NuclearTakes level. Gender theory is not postmodern, black lives matter is not postmodern, decolonization can be postmodern but not always. I don't understand this whatsoever. Can you explain @HPluckrose?

This is the definition of postmodernist thinking. How is this influencing a surge to the right? How is the increase of leftists and marxists inherently postmodern. You people are just using "Postmodern" as a slur for left leaning people going against your viewpoints.pic.twitter.com/uOIFb1G291

Okay why decolonization can sometimes be postmodern. Decolonization that tries to remove white supremacist structures is not postmodern. But decolonization that considers western thinking such as science to be racist is postmodernism. But that's like such a small % of thinkers.

Many have been drawn to the right because they have been told that even though they are poor, jobless and unhappy, they are also privileged racists. Theres only so much people can take, and many have had enough. That's the rise in trump imho

Yeah but that's not postmodernism that's just social justice thinking done with bad PR

This is pretty much the premise of postmodernism in terms of cultural identity. Everything is the fault of white people, therefore *all* white people share blame. This doesn't bother me personally, but it does give me an understanding as to what is happening culturally atm.pic.twitter.com/vXtnyvNGcO

Replying to @4scoren7years @TheJamesBerry and
It argues that anyone with any power must be bad because those without power must be oppressed by those with it. Of course this ignores personal responsibility, competence and a gracious/just use of power. It puts good and evil into classes instead of individuals. Big mistake.

It does do this, yes. The problem is not just racism, it's whiteness. It's not just sexism, it's men.

Whiteness? Isn't "white" a race? If you say all white men are the problem, that essentially boils down to race and sex. And you put people in their categories, all that does is leave you with a prejudice of an entire group. How am I personally "The problem"?

I agree. I was stating the view and I see the same problem with it as you do.

The tweet wasn't an attack on yourself, it was more a generalised statement & query. My belief is don't throw people into categories and try not prejudice whilst respecting the individual. Then the whole world will get along lol
