In the academic and social justice left, 'stay in your lane', 'speech is violence', knowledge is culturally constructed, gender differences are culturally constructed etc *do* come from postmodernism but I agree most people don't know that. It's just normal now. https://twitter.com/cultofdusty/status/970421801472884736 …

Are you telling me that the Bernie vs Clinton in fighting was over postmodernist thought? Or the Comey letter? The left didn't lose to Trump because of postmodernists.

There are a lot of interesting things you say here. But I will highlight a few things that frustrate me:
-
1) You seem to want to lump together a bunch of people and call them postmodernists, as if they have a unified conception for the kind of change they see necessary. I don't think that is possible.
-
Incrementalism/revolution, objectivity/subjectivity, relativism/pluralism are all areas in which postmodernists thinkers disagree, which leads me to the next point.
-
2) The actual citations used for what postmodernists think are scarce, and not very good at eliciting your concerns. If you think a group is doing something, provide a concrete example of them doing it. Otherwise, I think you are just trying to create a narrative.

I did link to this one in the manifesto about postmodern thought: https://areomagazine.com/2017/03/27/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-postmodernism-and-its-impact-explained/ … Have since written this one which probably speaks most to your concerns:https://areomagazine.com/2018/02/07/no-postmodernism-is-not-dead-and-other-misconceptions/ …
