If you agree that those kinds of stuff are bad, why do you keep attacking the people that oppose them? Shouldn't you agree with them? I don't get it.

Because their anger at the fringe left is disproportionate to the anger at the fringe right? And, the fringe right has way more power in American government right now.

I'm sorry but I can't agree with "anger policing". There is nothing bad with focusing on a specific problem, as long as its consequences are assessed properly. Besides Dusty is arguing that PoMo has not much negative effects, which is independent of anyone's opinion on the right

Yeah, this isn't the point. The right is far worse than the left. There's just merit to dealing with what you know and getting your own house in order. How much credibility must the left have lost to let Trump get in, ffs. We need to fix this.

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/ …
