They protect the narrative at all costs, usually by playing "Six Degrees of Colonial Patriarchy" with anyone who challenges them.

This is why I often call the contemporary kind of "postmodernism" (it's not the same as what was being done in the 90s) a neo-romanticism or anti-modernism. A lot of what passes for "pomo" now especially online isn't too far from Ludwig Klages

Scientists come up with novel, innovative perspectives all the time. Postmodernists regurgitate Sartre and Foucault. Poorly. They are like religious loons in that they think they've got the one "true" perspective.

re: language -- Postmodern writing is deliberately obtuse to occlude the simple fact that most postmodern thinkers have nothing at all to say. Verbal trickery and literary prestidigitation, nothing more.

It's an ideology for idiots who want the appearance of intelligence without doing any of the footwork. Bc PoMo rejects objective reality, they can justify any silly fucking thing.
