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.

3) Fitting with the last point, in several places you say "In fact, wrong" or "utterly false", but you don't explain WHY these views are wrong, or why they are false.

You say it right after the dichotomy in the Lindsay article. You say it is utterly false.

The whole thing is about why it we think premodern and postmodern ideas are bad. You can hardly say we didn't explain it. It's nearly 10,000 words.

Because you didn't really tell me why postmodern ideas are bad. You said they are false, and then changed the subject. WHY are they false?

I have linked you two essays on the problems with postmodernism. I am not going to explain it again on Twitter. If you don't think the issues we set out in the manifesto are bad, then you don't. You'll be a postmodernist rather than a universal liberal. We will not agree on this.
