No, that's not it. We absolutely do need to fear bad ideas that gain great cultural currency & become a dominant in society. We need to reason with our own moral tribes when they become infected by this in both intellectual & political thought. https://twitter.com/cultofdusty/status/970414858045968387 …

But liberals & academics are not being infected with white nationalism but with postmodernism. The best way to beat the populist far-right which is being infected with white nationalism is to fix our own side so it becomes sane & electable again.

Postmodernism is at most associated with the problem. The problem being a particular ideology and partisan politics related to the excesses of a dominant left. An ideology which has come to amount to a majority vs minority Marxism (intersectionality)

No, Marxism has very little, but not nothing to do with postmodernism. Intersectionality explicitly draws on postmodernism but makes class the least relevant characteristic.

The intersectional Marxism draws on much pomo ideas, but the prob isn't pomo itself, but rather the usage of pomo ideas. Up until this time, only the left has really utilized them. For me, much of the greatest weapons against intersectionality, are from Heidegger/Derrida/D&G
