      The vast majority of postmodernists have no idea what post modernism is, or that they are believers in it.

      Ergo, blaming "the left's" pathology on post-modernism is a straw man dead end. What % of folks engaged in deplatforming are versed in Derrida and Foucault? Mouffe & Leclau? How many read more Marx than the CM?Very few. Bad argument

      That was the point. People can now be culturally and epistemologically relativist, believe that knowledge is a construct of discourses of power & that people are positioned by identity within those discourses rather than individuals w/out the faintest idea where this came from.

      Further, what u are describing is Gramscian hegemony--the internalization of ideology without being able to understand its source. Do we really thing that the "left" is now on the level of "liberal economic orthodoxy" in terms of hegemonic influence? Is this not overstating a bit

      Huh? Who is stating anything like this? I'm only stating what I am stating.

          It follows logically from the first post: if postmodernists don't know they are postmodernists, as asserted in the first tweet and defended by you, then they have been so absorbed into this belief system that they dont know where it started or how they got there. #gramsci

          This is commonly accepted. Few westerners realise how much influence Augustine had on western ways of thinking. They can uphold those ideas even if they have never heard of him. This was being recognised long before Gramsci. Do you know where all your ideas came from?

          I feel like postmodernist arguments are relatively distinctive (words have power, knowledge and social position are intersubjective constructs etc) and only 70 years old, which is different than Augustine. People using these arguments should know their origin IMO

          They often don't for reasons I gave in the essay I linked. The ideas have evolved and also been condensed and made user friendly and tagged onto positive movements like the Civil Right's Movement, Gay Pride and 2nd Wave Liberal Feminism. This obscures their origins.

          If this is true, then it is a chicken & egg problem. Its not that PM originated w/leftist thinkers, but leftist movements have been the ones to activate these ideas. In this sense, Peterson might be "right" but he has the causl arrow backwards

          It's both.
